A

Different countries have different social manners. Sometimes what is considered polite in one country may be regarded as impolite or strange in another. If we want to get along well with people from different cultures, learning basic manners becomes really necessary.

In most Western countries, people usually shake hands firmly and look into each other’s eyes when meeting someone for the first time. They greatly value personal space and are not comfortable standing too close while talking. They also mind others touching them casually during communication. By contrast, many people in Asian countries prefer to nod slightly or bow gently instead of shaking hands. They feel natural and relaxed to stay a little nearer when having a conversation.

When it comes to receiving praise, Westerners often accept it openly and happily, and simply reply with “Thank you” with a smile. However, Chinese people are usually modest and quiet. They are used to hiding their pride and seldom agree with praise directly. Besides, there are also clear differences in table manners. Westerners try to keep silent and never talk with food in their mouths, while chatting freely over meals is quite common and warm in many Chinese families.

Learning about cultural manners not only helps us behave properly when communicating with foreign friends, but also lets us understand cultural differences better. It is an important way to show respect and build friendly relationships with people around the world.
