Steve's class Home Work_Writing comparision

Example writing comparision by Steve :

Drinking: Britain has a highly developed (maybe even over-developed) drinking culture, whereas some countries (for example Pakistan) have no alcoholic drinking culture. In Britain, it far more common to see inebriated young women in the evenings than in Italy, where getting drunk is not the only criterion for a good night out. When buying drinks for friends, a ‘rounds’ policy is employed where one person will buy a drink for everyone at the table. Even if it means that some people will not buy a round that evening. This is in contrast to Japan, where people generally pay for themselves. Men will tend to drink less sweet drinks than women who quite commonly consume alcopops (e.g. Bacardi Breezer). In Thailand, it is not unusual to see both men and women consuming these drinks."

Title : A taboos
Writing by B Siriporn
A cultural taboo has been developing around the world since the countries has been established,generally any countries has their own taboos such as drinking ,eating ,bodily function and speaking ,but some countries has been influenced by other.
Recently the international presessional students were carried out an interesting discussion results which the taboos were compared among the international students countries such as Japan,China,Thailand,Pakistan and Morocco.However, Eating in Japan,the elblows were not allowed on table and chopsticks are not tapped on the table before eating ,but in Thailand is accepted.While eating with mouth open in China is not a taboo while it is different when compare with Japan and Thailand and also Thailand slurping noodles is a taboo whereas Japan is a culture.Some Asian countries,China,Thailand,Japan, bodily functions,splitting,nose-blowing, are impolite, especially in Japan nose-blowing is not polite ,but fairly common with a spit in China less than Thailand and Japan.While in Pakistan burping among friends is accepted,but not in Thailand and the farting are accepted as a universal taboo.Normally speaking,expressing disagreement is common in the world ,but Japan men generally are recongnized as the first and important person to speak first ,not a women.Finally the world is recongnized as a multiple culture.

This is very well written, but I think would benefit from some paragraphs.

Also, 'farting' is quite a colloquial word, maybe 'releasing wind' would be considered more 'academic'.
