A
When you communicate with people from around the world, knowing cultural customs is key to being polite.
In Thailand, people greet each other by putting their palms together and bowing slightly—this shows respect. In France, friends often kiss each other on the cheek two or three times when meeting. In Germany, if you bring a gift to someone’s home, it should be nicely wrapped, and you should wait until the host opens it together with you.
In China, shaking hands is a common greeting, and giving gifts is a way to show friendship. But remember not to open the gift in front of the giver. In the US, people usually call others by their first names even if they are older, and they open gifts right away to show thanks.
Learning these customs helps you get along well with people from different backgrounds.

Last semester, I went to a middle school in London as an exchange student. At first, I was nervous about the cultural differences.
On my first day, my classmate Emma came up to me and said, "Hi, let’s hang out after school!" I was confused because I thought "hang out" meant "go to a park". Later I learned it means "spend time together".
At lunch, I noticed everyone was eating with forks and knives, but I used chopsticks. My classmates were curious and asked me to teach them how to use chopsticks. I was happy to share.
I also learned that British people value queuing—they wait in line for everything, from buying coffee to getting on the bus. Being late is considered rude, so everyone tries to arrive on time.
This experience taught me that different cultures have different rules, and being open-minded helps you make friends easily.

When traveling to a foreign country, understanding local customs can save you from awkward situations. Last summer, Linda went to South Korea for a vacation. She didn’t know much about Korean customs and made a few mistakes.
One day, she went to a Korean family’s home for dinner. She sat down on the floor directly without taking off her shoes. The host looked a little surprised because in Korea, people usually take off their shoes before entering a home. Later, she finished eating and left her chopsticks on the table. Her Korean friend told her that it’s better to put chopsticks on the chopstick rest, leaving them on the table is considered rude.
After that, Linda asked her friend for advice. Her friend gave her three tips: take off your shoes when entering a Korean home, use the chopstick rest after eating, and bow slightly when greeting elders. Linda followed these tips and had a great rest of her trip. She said learning about local customs made her trip much more enjoyable.

My Experience with Different Cultures
Last summer, I joined a summer camp in Canada. My roommate was a Canadian girl named Lily. At first, I was shy to talk to her. But she greeted me with a big hug, which surprised me because we usually shake hands in China.
We ate together every day. She taught me to use a fork and knife properly, and I told her about Chinese dumplings. I also learned that Canadians value being on time—they never arrive late for meetings.
This experience made me realize that different cultures have different ways. Being open and respectful helps us get along well with others.
