SL Level 6 writes “Cultural Differences” essay, comparing and contrasting their native culture with American culture.
There are many differences between Mexico and the United States. In Mexico, Catholicism is the predominant faith, but in the United States of America, there are many religions. Another difference between the two countries is their people. People are more formal in the United States than Mexico, because in Mexico if you meet someone you can shake hands and touch their shoulders but only the shoulder .
