Our new foreign students are going to arrivevery soon, and here are some ways to welcome them.
Howclose do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand too close to peoplein the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North American! Give them morepersonal space.
Howabout touching people? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends.South American sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t moveaway! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.Do you look at people when you talk?
In someplaces, it isn’t polite to look at people when they talk, but in othercountries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britainand the US, people usually look at each otherwhen they talk. And how do you say goodbye? That’s easy, wave to say goodbye.But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! In fact, it’s very rude!
