UNIT 5
Section A
1b Listen and check your answers in 1a.
Yoshi: What are people supposed to do when they meet in your country, Rodrigo?
Rodrigo: Do you mean when people meet for the first time?
Yoshi: Yeah.
Rodrigo: In Mexico, we shake hands.
Yoshi: What about in Brazil, Celia?
Celia: Well, in Brazil, people sometimes kiss. How about in Japan, Yoshi? What are people expected to do when they meet for the first time?
Yoshi: We bow.
Kim: And in Korea we also bow.
Mike: Well, I guess in most Western countries we shake hands.
2a Maria is an exchange student. Last night she had dinner at an American friend’s house. Listen and check (√) the mistakes Maria made.
Daisy: Hi, Maria. How was Paul’s party?
Maria: Oh, Daisy, it was terrible.
Daisy: It was?
Maria: Uh-huh.
Daisy: What happened?
Maria: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 7:00, but I arrived at 8:00.
Daisy: Oh, so you were late.
Maria: Yeah, but in my country, it’s different. When you’re invited for 7:00, you’re expected to come later! It’s considered strange to turn up on time.
Daisy: I see.
Maria: Then when I met Paul’s mom, I kissed her.
Daisy: Oh…you were supposed to shake hands instead.
Maria: That’s right. And I wore a fancy dress.
Daisy: What’s wrong with that?
Maria: Well, it turned out that it was an outdoor party, Daisy. Everyone else was in a T-shirt and jeans.
Daisy: I guess next time you should ask what you’re supposed to wear.
