Your quote is number two. The roots of education are bitter, but the fruits are sweet. You may start when you're ready. All right, based on this quotation we can learn the fact that education is a process that maybe ahead of at the beginning it would be bitter but after we have understand the true value of education we know that the fruits actually the results is beneficial for us and I think in intercultural communication and intercultural education, it is the same. Before conducting an intercultural

communication, we might have so many preliminary knowledges. We might even have prejudices, discrimination, and ethnocentrism that we might be worried about that conflicts might happen because I and people from other cultures are so different, so I'm worried about these issues. But however, after we truly understand those cultures and the diversity of culture and also the importance of the diversity of culture all over the world, we learn to listen and understand all those cultures that even they are different from us.

And the results, of course, the fruits are very sweet, because if we have conduct effective and smooth relationship, build the foundation for mutual understanding and respect, we can have effective communication with people from all over the cultures. and we can exchange ideas and listen to others' opinions and also exchange our own opinions.

Thus, we can foster our cultural sensitivity and empathy, build a foundation for the mutual understanding forever. Thank you.
