1 Have you met people from other cultures? Did they appear ‘cold’ or ‘excitable’ to you? Why?
2 What di! erences in showing emotion and communication are there between your culture and those below?
Show some emotion,
Put expression in your eyes.
Light up if you're feeling happy.
But if it's bad then let those tea
rs roll down.
Some people hurting, Someone choki
ng up inside.
Some poor souls dying, too proud t
o say
They got no place to lie.
And there's people if they hear a
joke
Can't keep the laugh out of their
eye.
I said, show some emotion,
Put expression in your eyes,
Light up, if you're feeling happy
But if it's bad, then let those te
ars roll down.
Some people in love but all they g
ot is a photograph.
How can they get it?
Too scared to open their mouth, to
ask.
I said, show some emotion,
Put expression in your eyes,
Light up, if you're feeling happy.
But if it's bad, then let those te
ars roll down
Come on try.
Learn to bleed when you get a bad
fall
Light up, light up, light up, if i
t's nice
But if it's bad, then let those te
ars roll down.

By SimsFan
I love The Sims! It’s a strategy game and you control the lives of cartoon characters – the ‘Sims’. You help them work, play, shop and do things in their houses. I bought the fi rst Sims when I was thirteen and I played it every day. This new version is much better – it has got amazing graphics, lots of new and fun characters and incredible music. But it does crash sometimes. It’s not a cheap game (£19.99), but it is great fun!
