Today I'm going to tell you something about manners in different countries.<br />I think you already know that people in different countries have different ways of doing things.<br />Something that is rude in one country may well be quite polite in another.<br />For example, in Britain you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having<br />some liquid food, but in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink<br />it.<br />It shows that you are enjoying it, but that is considered bad manners in Britain.<br />In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal.<br />In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout<br />a meal.<br />But it is in the Arab countries that we really must be careful with our hands.<br />You see, in Arab countries you mustn't eat with your left hand.<br />This is considered to be very impolite.<br />So what should you do if you visit another country?<br />Well, you needn't worry.<br />You can ask the native people there to help you, or just watch carefully and try to do<br />as they do, not as you do at home.<br />Text 10<br />Today I'm going to tell you something about manners in different countries.<br />I think you already know that people in different countries have different ways of doing things.<br />Something that is rude in one country may well be quite polite in another.<br />For example, in Britain you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having<br />some liquid food, but in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink<br />it.<br />It shows that you are enjoying it, but that is considered bad manners in Britain.<br />In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal.<br />In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout<br />a meal.<br />But it is in the Arab countries that we really must be careful with our hands.<br />You see, in Arab countries you mustn't eat with your left hand.<br />This is considered to be very impolite.<br />So what should you do if you visit another country?<br />Well, you needn't worry.<br />You can ask the native people there to help you, or just watch carefully and try to do<br />as they do, not as you do at home.
