Different countries have different greeting ways, and learning them can help us communicate better with people from different cultures. In China, people usually greet each other with a smile and a handshake, especially in formal occasions. When greeting elders or people in higher positions, we should be more polite and speak softly. For friends or relatives, a warm smile or a hug is also common, which shows our kindness and closeness. In Japan, bowing is the most common greeting. People bow to show respect, and the way of bowing depends on the relationship between them. For example, when greeting a stranger, a slight bow is enough. When greeting an elder or a teacher, a deep bow is necessary. Japanese people also use polite words when greeting each other to show their respect. In France, people often greet friends by kissing on the cheek. The number of kisses varies in different parts of France—some kiss twice, some kiss three times. For formal occasions, such as meeting a boss or a stranger, a handshake is more proper. French people are very polite, and they often use “Bonjour” (good morning) or “Bonsoir” (good evening) when greeting others. No matter which greeting way we use, the most important thing is to show our respect and kindness to others. ( )16. What do people in China usually use to greet each other in formal occasions? A.

The importance of cross-cultural communication B When we travel to other countries, table manners are something we must pay attention to. Different countries have different table manners, and not following them may make us look rude. In England, table manners are very strict. People use knives and forks to eat, and they hold the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left hand. When eating soup, they use a spoon and hold it with their right hand. It’s impolite to make noise while eating, and you shouldn’t put your elbows on the table. You should also wait for everyone to be served before starting to eat. In China, table manners are also important. We use chopsticks to eat, and we should not stick chopsticks into the rice or wave them around. It’s polite to serve food for elders and let them start eating first. We also don’t talk loudly during dinner, as it’s considered impolite. In India, table manners are quite special. People usually eat with their right hand, and they never use their left hand to touch food. They often eat on a mat on the floor, and they don’t use knives or forks. It’s polite to eat all the food on your plate, as it shows that you like the food. Learning table manners from different countries can help us show our respect to others and have a good time during our trip. It’s a small but important part of cross-cultural communication. ( )20.
