八年级下册 英语教学课件系列 Reading Unit 5 Good manners A When in Rome Daniel: Hi, everyone. Today we’ve invited Jenny to talk about manners in the UK. What’s the proper way to greet people there, Jenny? Jenny: Well, British people say “hello” or “nice to meet you” and shake your hand when they meet you for the first time. Daniel is hosting the school radio show this week. He is interviewing jenny, a grade 9 student, who has recently visited the UK. Daniel: Do they greet people with a kiss? Jenny: No, British people only greet relatives or close friends with a kiss. Daniel: How do people start a conversation? Jenny: They talk about the weather, holidays, music, books or something else. But please avoid subjects like age, weight or money. Daniel: Do people there behave politely in public? Jenny: Yes, they do. They always queue. They think it’s rude to push in before others. Also, if they bump into someone in the street, they’ll say “sorry”. Daniel: Anything else? Jenny: If you’re in their way, they won’t touch you or push past you. They’ll say “excuse me” and be polite enough to wait till you move. Daniel: British people are very polite at home as well, aren’t they? Jenny: Yes. They say “please” and “thank you” all the time! Daniel: Any other tips for us if we’re going to the UK? Jenny: Let me see. Oh, keep your voice down in public. British people don’t like to shout or laugh loudly. Daniel: OK, thanks, Jenny. Now we’ve learnt more about manners in the UK. I’m sure they’re helpful to us. Jenny: I hope so. Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Do they greet people with a kiss? 他们用亲吻的方式打招呼吗? 句中的greet somebody with… 意思是“以…… 方式跟人打招呼”。如: She greeted us with a smile.
