When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave, or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting two people press their noses and foreheads together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face. In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.

How does it feel when you make a mistake Getting things wrong might bring an awful feeling. However, it gives you the chance to learn and do better next time.
No one likes making mistakes, especially when you feel sad or angry about what you’ve done. However, that bad feeling helps you achieve success in the future. You can’t learn how to ride a bike without falling off. Getting things wrong helps you grow so that you can do things more wisely.
Accepting and learning from mistakes gives you the courage to try harder next time. For example, you will try more times when playing a new sport. Scientists call this a “growth mindset (成长型思维).” It means you see failure as something good instead of regret. A cook from a cake shop named Elsic said that it was hard to accept mistakes but they made her a better learner. “I once made a cake that came out like two big biscuits. It was terrible but I realized I hadn’t read the recipe (食谱) carefully. Now I always read the recipe twice. Mistakes can also give you something to laugh about, even if you don’t find it funny at that time.
How do we learn from mistakes We should be open to mistakes. Talk with others about your common mistakes as much as possible. Sharing these stories with others will show you how they happen all the time.
