Thailand is a country with a long and rich history. It is also one of those countries which have many traditions

which modern times fortunately have not affected. Thailand is famous for its unique culture. It is well worth

noting that Thai culture hasbeen handed down from one generation to the next.

Thai Classical Dance

The inspiring culture includes local music and wonderful Thai dances. The dances of course have something

to do with its deep-rooted Buddhist religion, fighting arts and beautiful clothing. Thai classical dance

performances are generally performed by gracious (高雅的) Thai ladies wearing beautiful Thai local costumes.

Most resort (旅游胜地) areas and many hotels frequently offer these Thai culture dance shows for foreign visitors.

Thai Greeting

The unique Thai gesture of greeting another person, the wai, is especiallyone of the great aspects of Thai

culture. The wai is when a person joins both hands to either head or chest level while bending their head slightly

towards his hands. This way of greeting is especially done when a younger person greets an older person and it

indicates a sign of respect to their elders. Employees would also wai their managers even if the manager would be

younger than themselves.

Bangkok

Bangkok is the culture center of Thailand and has been the Thai capital since the end of the eighteenth

century. Observing Thai culture in Bangkok can be great experience as the combination of modern times and

traditions have created a kind of unique atmosphere. Bangkok offers a package of Thai culture which is shown by

numerous beautiful Buddhist temples and many examples of modern Thai architecture.

museum, which offers tourists an opportunity to view national treasures and unique Thai art pieces with its

Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and notto be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing

our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as

dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social

media?

“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn'texclusiveto this platform. Imagine you

head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life.

While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of

oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social

media?

Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the

less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally

considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.

However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially

attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn

Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off,

especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share

a photo with text?

So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably

be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too

much. 4. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Unique.

B. Similar.

C. Relevant.

D. Fundamental.

5. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?

A. To draw others' attention.
