Ⅲ. Manners and customs.
1. Different countries have different manners.
Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered (不礼貌的). Here are examples of the things that a person with a good education does or does not do.
If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you should not move before the host says "Come in, please". After you enter the room, you should not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea table in front of you or put into your hand, you should say "thank you" and take it with two hands, not with one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay (马来人的) house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will please the host.
