Global Citizens
The Earth has about 200 countries and each has its own culture. So what do we need when we have to work together with people from different cultures? The answer is understanding, respect, and proper communication skills. Communication through language is important because it is the basis of other human activities. Communication is a tool that allows us to talk about various situations with different people. Using communication, we also learn and expand our knowledge and human experience. But Wakata Koichi says, “To make a successful mission, communication skills are essential. But consideration for others is more important.” Wakata is the first Asian commander of the ISS, an international space station project that has been running for 15 years.

Hi there, Emma!
Good to see you, Ron! How are you?

I’m doing great! I’ve come to accompany my father at the soft opening of the casino by the bay.
Wow! That sounds interesting.

I agree! You should come with us if you want.
I would love to, but my parents won’t let me, especially if they learn that casinos involve gambling.

It’s okay, I understand. I agree with your parents. I’m just not sure why my dad enjoys gambling.
In my opinion, casinos are very complicated; the odds of winning a bet are one in a million.

It’s a fair bet that gamblers lose a hefty amount of cash.
That’s for sure!

I guess I have to go now, Emma! See you again soon.
Alright! Have fun and take care.

Hey, Emma! Are you busy tomorrow?
Not at all, Ron. Why’d you ask?

Tomorrow is Macy’s eighteenth birthday. How about we throw a party for her at the nearest resort as her grand celebration?
That seems to be a fantastic idea. We must ensure that she is unaware and that it is kept a secret from her.

I totally agree! We must brainstorm and think of a plan.
Now how do you go about our plan for her surprise?

First, we must secretly invite her friends to attend the party by sending out invitations.
What about the food, drinks, and music? Who will take care of them?

We need the help of my friend Josh, who is a party animal. With the number of parties he has been to, he’ll know how to organize one for sure.
Sounds like a solid plan. I’m excited to see the look on her face once she sees our surprise.

I’m sure she’ll be so happy once we pull this off.
