Humour and cultural differencewhere, where
Your eyes are beautiful, your nose and your mouth, too.Humour and cultural difference---The Indians are very impolite.
---Why do you say that?
---Last time when I was invited to an Indian friend’s home for dinner, the host kept putting food on my plate while I shook my head all the time.
---Haha, there is some misunderstanding between you.Note: People from Indian, Nepal, and Sri Lanka nod their head to say “NO” and shake their head to say “YES”.Comparing CultureFind out some differences between Chinese table manners and western ones. In China perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always
“public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks.
This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food.
If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so, or you will always overeat!
In Western countries, don’t take any food until the host take up her knife and fork. She will not act like the Chinese host and invite you to start first. When she begins, that means you can also start.
Helping yourself and refusing if a servant passes food around. It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you. But if there is something you may not like, you may quietly say: "No thank you.”It is impolite for a guest to leave the table during a meal, or before the hostess gives the signal at the end. When the hostess indicates that the dinner is over, she will start to rise from her seat and all the guests will rise from theirs at the same time.Vocabulary PracticeFind the words in the the text which mean the following:
