Etiquette (礼仪) is not the same in every culture. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some 1
Asian
(Asia) countries. However, if you do this in Europe, some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all 2
situations
(situation). Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there 3
are
(be) other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, talking loudly in 4
a
library, a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down 5
in
public places.
If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may 6
politely
(polite) give them some suggestions. One of 7
the most polite
(polite) ways is to ask someone, "Would you mind doing this?" or "Would you mind not doing that?" People usually don't like to be criticized (批评), so we have to be careful how we do this. 8
Although/Though
rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, almost in no countries dropping litter 9
is allowed
(allow). If you see someone you know 10
doing
(do) this, you can ask him, "Would you mind picking it up?"
