Describe a custom from your country that you would like people from other
countries to adopt. Explain your choice, using specific reasons and examples.
==============================================================================
There are many amazing characteristics in my country, Taiwan. The most
arresting characteristic is night market where many visitors will visit when
they come to Taiwan. By the way, Taiwanese like to bargain the price of
product with those vendors in night market. I would like to introduce this
custom to the others, because I think that this custom is very special for
some foreigners. My supporting ideas are as below and illustrate why it is.
To begin with, how to negotiate the price of product is a very important
custom for Taiwanese to buy some things in night market. Actually, many
products in night market are not belonging to any famous brand, and their
prices are much lower than those similar products in department store. But
Taiwanese still like to negotiate the prices in order to have the lower
prices. For example, the initial price of a T-shirt is 300 New Taiwan
Dollars, and the Taiwanese will try some way to bargain the price until they
attain their goals. For the reason, the custom is very popular in the night
market of Taiwan. If you have a chance to visit the night market of Taiwan,
and you never negotiate the price to those vendors. Those vendors will feel
very surprised, because this is a part of Taiwanese culture.
Additionally, the culture of bargain is not only existed in night market but
also flooded the different situation of buying products. Take many little
stores among the Taipei city as example, nowadays, we are used to bargain the
prices to those sellers of little store. Even though the initial prices of
the products which we desire to buy are reasonable rather than expensive, but
we still negotiate the prices in order to show the unique custom of Taiwan.
In some case, we don't really care about the money which we save by bargain,
our major purpose just want to have some interaction with the vendors by
negotiating. Therefore, the custom is pervasive among the Taiwanese society.
In conclusion, sometimes, the major purpose of bargain is in order to have a
lower price. Sometimes, the main reasons just want to have some interaction
with those sellers. Many people believe that when you visit a country, it is
better to behave like those residents. For the reason, no matter what is the
real reason of bargain, I believe that it is better for foreigner to adopt
the unique culture of Taiwan.
