Look up the meanings of the vocabulary words below.

Aggressive        invasive                            

   equality                                    

   rituals  

Annoyed                                     

  minimize                                     

  task

Collaborative                                

 oblivious                                    

 valuable

Customs                                        

 promptness                                 

 values

Embarrassment

Task 2:

Use at least five of these vocabulary words to write an email to a friend describing to him/her the Canadian culture.

Hi Jane,

How about you  last week? I hope you had a good time. I have a problem. I need your advice. I have been here more than 1 year, but I couldn't understand many Canadian values.  Sometimes I drive on the road will meet a  aggressive  people  who took my way. Sometimes  I met  someone  who is very collaborative with a task. I don't know which is right Canadian values?  Would you tell me the right to avoid embarrassment.

  Best!

Ashley
