A:Different Manners
Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us impolite. Here are some examples of the things that a well- mannered person does or does not do.
If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you’ll not move before the host says, “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you wouldn’t sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand, you’ll say, “Thank you.” And receive it with your two hands, not one hand, or they’ll think you are impolite.
Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a guest never finished the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough . In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host, especially the hostess pleasant.

of each paragraph?
Act it out:
You are visiting a Chinese family . What will you do ?B:Different Greeting Ways
The way people greet each other can be very important . Proper greetings change depending on where you are .
Young people in China usually shake hands with people they have just met or with adults . The shaking of the right hand used to show that the person was not carrying any weapons. It is now used to show a warm and friendly welcome and respect to the other person. Shaking hands is not just a Chinese practice. It is very widely used and understood, although many cultures add their own touch or do something quite different.
Kissing cheeks (or often just touching cheeks ) is used frequently (经常) in France, Belgium, and other European countries. This greeting is usually between relatives and friends. In France, however, it is thought inappropriate (不合适的) for two male friends to greet each other in this way. They shake hands at the beginning and the end of the conversation, every time they meet.
When Eskimos (爱斯基摩人) meet each other they rub noses to show close feelings. The Japanese bow to each other.
If you are in a foreign country, and you are not sure what to do when meeting someone new, just use the handshake. Wherever you are, most people will understand that.Answer the questions
