Today I’m going to tell you something about manners in different countries.I think you already know that people in different countries have different ways of doing things.Something that is rude in one country may well be quite polite in another.For example,in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food.But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink it.It shows that you are enjoying it.But that is considered bad manners in Britain.In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal.In Mexico,however,guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal.But it is in the Arab countries that we really must be careful with our hands.You see,in Arab countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand.This is considered to be very impolite.So,what should you do if you visit another country Well,you needn’t worry.You can ask the native people there to help you or just watch carefully and try to do as they do,not as you do at home.
