An old saying goes,"When in Rome,do as the Romans do."I learned the meaning of this when I
studied in Russia.
One day I 1 some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow.My guests and
I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting.We chatted 2 until the waiter
told me that we were talking too loud.We turned our voices lower.But this didn't last long.The waiter
came over to us two more times with the same 3.
How bad an impression we must have left on the local people!In China,it's natural and 4 for a
host to make a lively atmosphere ()However,in Russia and Western countries,having a meal in a
public place means you must keep your voice low.You need to be polite to others.
I felt bad about this.5 we tried our best,it's very difficult to form a new habit.Russians have
their own special habits.My Russian friend,Andrey always 6 and thinks for a while before leaving
home.I asked him why he did this."Aha,"Andrey said,"in Russia,people always spend about a minute
going over things and plans in their minds before leaving.So they won't leave 7 necessary behind.
Finding the differences between 8 is very interesting.I'd like to keep my eyes and mind open.
