But the way people greet each other can be very different from one country to another. In the United States and most Western countries, people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. The handshake should be firm but not too strong. Friends and family members often hug or kiss each other on the cheek. In Japan, people bow to show respect. The depth of the bow depends on how polite they want to be or how close the relationship is. For example, a deeper bow is used to show more respect to an elder or a boss. In some countries like India, people put their hands together in front of their chest and nod slightly. This gesture is called “namaste”. It means “I greet the divine in you”. In Russia, people usually kiss three times on the cheeks—left, right, left. But this is only done between close friends or family members. It’s important to learn about these greetings when you travel to a foreign country. This can help you avoid misunderstandings and show respect to the local people. ( )1.

How to show respect to elders in different countries. D. Why greetings are important in communication. ( )2. In which country do people bow to greet others? A. India B. Japan C.

If you are speaking a foreign language, try to use simple words and sentences. This can help prevent misunderstandings. Finally, ask questions. If you are not sure about something, don’t be afraid to ask. Most people will be happy to explain their culture to you.

Let me tell you some Chinese table manners. First, you should wait for the elders to start eating before you begin. It’s impolite to stick your chopsticks into the rice bowl—you can put them on the chopstick rest. Also, don’t make too much noise while eating. I often eat out with my family on weekends. My favorite Chinese food is dumplings. They are filled with meat or vegetables and taste delicious. I’m looking forward to your visit! Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
