名言警句
Dear Tina，
I’m so glad that you are coming to China soon. Now, I’d like to share some tips about the Chinese customs with you.
Firstly, it’s common to greet people by shaking hands and saying “Ni hao” when you meet somebody for the first time in China. Secondly, remember to bring a small gift, such as fruit or flowers. And be sure to take off your shoes as soon as you enter their home. Thirdly, you shouldn’t start eating first unless the host asks you to at the table. Besides, never stick the chopsticks into a bowl of rice or point at others with your chopsticks — they’re considered to be rude. As for good conversation topics, food and hobbies are safe.
I hope the advice is helpful. Please feel free to ask if you want to know more.
Yours,
Yaming

4cc
We researched eating customs. In China, it's not polite to talk with your mouth full. In Brazil, it's rude to do that too. In China, we usually use chopsticks. But in Brazil they use a knife and fork. In both China and Brazil, people show respect to elders by letting them sit down first and serving them first. In both cultures, dishes are also shared rather than served individually, and you are expected to serve others before yourself. In China, it is not polite to be late, but it is not so bad to be late in Brazil. As you can see, some eating customs are the same and some are different between China and Brazil.
1. What customs from around the world have you learnt
2. What are some cultural differences between China and other
countries
3. Can you use adverbial clauses with so ... that, unless, and as
soon as properly
4. Why do you think it is important to know about cultural
differences
5. How should we communicate with people from different
cultures
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When entering another place, follow its customs.
Other quotes with similar meanings:
Every place has its own customs.
Go with the flow.
When the wind blows, adjust your sails.
If you’re in the herd, move with the herd.
