In France, friends often greet each other by kissing each other on the cheeks. And it’s important to say “Bonjour (Hello)” when you enter a shop and “Au revoir (Goodbye)” when you leave.

Reading
Skim the blog post and answer the questions.
How many parts are there in the article What is each part about
I’ve been in China for a month. My Chinese friends are kind enough to make me feel at home, but I’ve noticed some interesting differences in manners.
Read Para. 1 and answer the questions.
1. How long has Robert been in China
2. What does he think of his classmates
For a month./Since a month ago.
They are kind enough to make him feel at home.
Read Para. 2 and complete the table.
The use of the word Purpose (目的)
In the UK __________ To be __________
In China __________ To show __________ and __________
please
polite
nin
politeness
respect
In the UK, people use the word “please” all the time to be polite. The Chinese have their own way of being polite. For example, they normally use nin to address others in a formal situation. If you want to show politeness and respect for others, you can’t go wrong with nin.
Read Para. 3 and fill in the blanks.
When it comes to __________
the Chinese
the British
Be ________
Be ________
Say __________
Smile and say __________
praise
modest
Nali, nali
pleased
thank you
I’ve also realized that the Chinese behave differently from the British when it comes to praise. If someone says my Chinese is good, I’ll be pleased and tell them I love learning the language. But when I praise my Chinese friends, instead of saying “thank you”, they often smile and reply, “Nali, nali.” They are too modest to accept praise openly.
Read Para. 4 and complete the table.
In China A special time to ___________________
The host is very ____________________
Guests should eat __________________
The host will keep __________________
In the UK The host will ask if __________________
The host will ask if __________________
connect
hospitable
more
putting food
everything is OK
you want another drink
Here, eating is a special time for people to connect. One day, my host was nice enough to invite me to dinner, and he was so hospitable. He was telling me to eat more and kept putting food on my plate. This was his way of showing how much he cared about me. I ate so much because I was too polite to refuse! In the UK, people show that they cared about their guests in a different way. They usually ask if everything is OK or if you want another drink.
It can be hard at first to get used to all these differences. But if you are in another country, my advice is: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Read Para. 5 and answer the questions.
1. What does Robert think of getting used to the differences

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

2. How does Robert describe the differences between British and Chinese manners Give one example.
He provides both facts and opinions. For example, in paragraph 3, he first presents the fact that his Chinese friends often say “Nali, nali ” when they are praised, and then states his opinion that “They are too modest to accept praise openly.”
He uses phrases like “instead of” to show the contrast between British and Chinese manners.
Read and appreciate.

1 What do you think of Robert’s experience of dealing with the differences between British and Chinese manners
Robert’s experience was positive. He found Chinese manners different at first, but he tried to understand and accept them. He learned to be polite according to Chinese customs.
Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates.
After reading
The idiom “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” is a common saying that suggests adapting one’s behaviour to fit in with local customs and traditions. When people visit a new place or culture, it can be challenging to know how to behave appropriately. This idiom shows the importance of respecting cultural differences and avoiding behaviours that may cause misunderstandings. The idiom also highlights the idea that when we are guests in someone else’s home, we should follow their rules and customs instead of imposing our own beliefs on them.
2 How do you understand the sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
To show respect for my elders, I express my appreciation for them and offer help with daily tasks. For my teachers, I show respect by paying attention in class to acknowledge the effort they put into their lessons, using polite titles like “Mr” or “Ms” when addressing them, and offering help whenever they need it.
3 What other ways do you use to show respect for your elders and teachers
Retell the article with the help of the mind map.
1. My Chinese friends are kind enough to make me feel at home, but I've noticed some interesting differences in manners.
(1) “make sb. do sth. 让某人做某事”，属于“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，make在此为使役动词，意为“使、让”。
e.g. Our English teacher is humorous and he often tells funny jokes to make us laugh.
我的英语老师很幽默，他经常讲有趣的笑话逗我们大笑。
Language points
e.g. The care I have received makes me feel at home.
我所受到的照顾让我感觉宾至如归。
After a while we began to feel at home with each other.
过了一会儿我们就彼此熟悉，不再拘谨。
(2) feel at home 舒适自在，不拘束
2. For example, they normally use nin to address others in a formal situation.
(1) address / dres/ v. 称呼（某人）
e.g. It's important to address teenagers' mental problems.
解决青少年的心理问题很重要。
e.g. The famous scientist addressed a meeting on climate change.
这位著名的科学家在气候变化会议上发表了演讲。
e.g. She did not address him by name.
她没有直呼他的名字。
(2) address 设法解决
(3) address 演讲
3. If you want to show politeness and respect for others, you can't go wrong with nin.
e.g. It is polite to say "thank you" very often, even to family members.
经常说“谢谢"是礼貌的，即使是对家人。
(1) politeness n. 礼貌 polite 有礼貌的 politely 有礼貌地
-ness是常见的名词后缀，表示“......的性质（或状态、特点）”，常加在形容词后
e.g. kind(友好的)+-ness—kindness(仁慈;善良）
happy(幸福的)+-ness—happiness(幸福)
dark(黑暗的)+-ness—darkness(黑暗)
(2) you can't go wrong (with sth.) 绝对不会出错，绝对不会有问题
e.g. When it comes to breakfast, you can't go wrong with milk and an egg.
说到早饭，牛奶搭配鸡蛋准错不了。
4. I've also realized that the Chinese behave differently from the British when it comes to praise.
But when I praise my Chinese friends, instead of saying “thank you”, they often smile and reply, “Nali, nali.”
(1) “realize (=realise) 意识到”，常用作及物动词，后接名词、代词或从句作宾语。
e.g. He didn't realize his mistakes. 他没有意识到自己的错误
They realized that even a small act of kindness could bring great joy to others.
他们意到,使是一个小小的善举，也能给他人带来巨大的喜悦。
“realize 【动词】 实现”，主语一般是人，后面常接dream、goal等名词作宾语。同义短语为come true，其主语一般是dream、goal等抽象事物。
e.g. Could Bill realize his dream of being an "all-school”runner
比尔能实现成为一名“校级”赛跑运动员的梦想吗
(2) behave v.表现→behaviour n.
-behaved→well-behaved/badly-behaved
behave well 表现好 behave badly表现差
e.g. Parents must make sure their children behave well so that they won't cause any trouble for others.
父母必须确保他们的孩子表现得体，以免给别人带来麻烦。
(3) when it comes to (doing) sth. 当设计某事（或做某事）时
e.g. When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness. 说到朋友，我渴望那些和我一起分享快乐的人。
When it comes to going abroad, views vary from person to person. 一提到出国，不同的人有不同的看法
(4) “praise n. & v. 称赞，赞美”，praise在第一句中作名词，在第二句中作动词。其用法如下:
e.g. She praised his cooking. 她称赞了他的厨艺。
Many people praised her for being a caring and creative teacher.
很多人称赞她是一位有爱心且富有创造力的老师。

(6) reply vt. & vi. 回答，答复 过去 式：replied
reply to sb./sth. 答复某人/回复某事

抱歉，我正在给远在莫斯科的笔友回信。
The salesgirl replied with a smile. 那个女售货员回以微笑。
He replied that he knew nothing about it. 回答说他对此一无所知。
5. If someone says my Chinese is good, I’ll be pleased and tell them I love learning the language.
区分pleased、pleasant、pleasure
pleased 【形容词】高兴的；满意的 一般用作表语，主语通常是人
be pleased with...对......满意
be pleased to do sth 很高兴乐于做某事
pleasant 【形容词】令人愉快的；宜人的 常用于指人或事物具有“使人感到愉悦”的特征

keep (on) doing sth. 继续做某事，重复做某事
e.g. He did not see the sign and kept walking forward.
他没有看到那个标志，一直往前走。
7. It can be hard at first to get used to all these differences.
“get used to sth. 习惯于某事”，get可用be代替。to在此处为介词，其后常接名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语
辨析：be/get used to (doing) sth. used to do sth. be used to do sth./for doing sth.
be/get used to (doing) sth. 习惯于(做)某事，适应于(做)某事
used to do sth. 曾经/过去常常/过去一直做某事
be used to do sth./for doing sth. 被用于做某事
e.g. Mr Johnson is/gets used to eating with chopsticks.

The knife can be used to cut fruit (=for cutting fruit).
这把刀可以用来切水果。
8. But if you are in another country, my advice is : When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 入乡随俗。
这是一句英国习语，其省略形式when in Rome也可以表达同样的意思。
关于罗马的一些常见英语谚语如下：
All roads lead to Rome. 条条大路通罗马。/殊途同归。
Rome wasn't built in a day. 罗马城绝非一日建成。
