4. What are the differences between Chine and English Kin Terms?
In Chine culture, people refer to people strictly according to the kin terms. It is completely unacceptable to refer to one's parents by using the names. When children address relatives, Chine kin terms tell whether they are older or younger than their father or mother. Chine kin terms tell whether the relatives are from the mother' or father's side and whether one's brother, sister or cousin is older or younger than he/she. Chine kin terms are also to other people who are not one's relatives; kin terms are widely ud to address known or unknown people while in English culture, in some families in Western countries, some children address their parents directly by their first names. In Britain, children are expected to address the parents' brother and sisters with the title of Uncle or Aunt plus their names and sometimes simply address them by first name without a title. English kin terms don’t tell whether the relatives are from the mother'
or father's side ,and there are not distinct kin terms for elder brother or younger brother. Kin terms are not as frequently ud as in Chine. In all kinds of social situations, either formally or informally, people won't u kin terms to address each other if they are not relatives.

In China, many people nd gifts without wrapping them, and if they wrap them, they usually tell the receiver what is inside, and the receiver will thank the nder and put the gift aside without unwrapping them since they already know what is inside.
