Passage A
In Finland, people value personal space very much. When they greet, they usually shake hands firmly. However, hugging is not very common among friends, let alone kissing on the cheek. If you try to hug a Finn without knowing them well, they might feel awkward. Another interesting fact is that Finns don't talk much during greetings. A simple "Hello" or "Nice to meet you" is enough. They prefer silence to small talk. So, if you visit Finland, remember: keep your distance, shake hands, and don't talk too much!

Passage B
The "Wai" is a traditional greeting in Thailand. It is similar to bowing but involves placing your palms together in a prayer-like gesture in front of your chest. The higher you place your hands, the more respect you show. Usually, younger people put their hands higher when greeting elders. However, if an elder greets a child, the child does not need to put their hands up high. It is also important to lower your head slightly when doing the Wai. Tourists in Thailand often enjoy learning this greeting because it feels peaceful and respectful.

D. It is done with one hand.
Passage C
Body language is a powerful tool in communication. Sometimes, what you don't say speaks louder than what you do say. For example, maintaining eye contact shows that you are listening and interested. However, in some Asian cultures, avoiding direct eye contact with elders or superiors is a sign of respect. Similarly, a thumbs-up is generally seen as a positive sign in Western countries, but in some Middle Eastern countries, it can be considered rude. Therefore, being aware of cultural differences in body language is crucial for successful international communication.

One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I was so glad to receive your letter. I know you are worried about the cultural differences in China. First of all, welcome to China! Here, we usually greet people with a handshake or a slight nod. A smile is always a good idea to show friendliness.
However, please note that we don't usually hug or kiss when greeting, especially if we meet for the first time. That might make people feel uncomfortable. Also, it's polite to address elders with respect.
Don't worry too much. Everyone here is friendly and will understand if you make mistakes. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time here.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
