     Do you want to know more cultures about other countries? Here are some messages you may be interested in.

    Taking off your shoes or not

    It’s bad manners to take off your shoes at the door of a London dinner party. But in Asia if you don’t take off your shoes before entering a home, you are not polite enough.

    What you should do instead: If you see a row of shoes at the door, take off your shoes. If not, keep the shoes on.

    Talking over dinner

    In some countries, like Japan, don’t start talking while everyone else is having dinner. You’ll meet with silence – not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtime is for eating, not talking. Also don’t talk in places like churches in Europe.

    What you should do instead: Keep quiet!

    Knowing your right from your left

    Some cultures in Africa and the Middle East still like to eat in traditional ways – using their hands. When people eat in this way, food is often offered for several people to share at the same time. That is why it’s important to wash your hands before eating. While eating, you have to follow the rule: Eat using your right hand, and use your left hand to do other things. Another thing to remember: Eat the food that’s closest to you. Don’t put your hand into the center of the table.

    What You Should Do Instead: Follow the others and use your right hand. Even children who are left-handed in this culture are taught to eat with their right hands. If you really can’t, explain yourself to others before you eat.

    1 Is it good manners to take off your shoes at the door of a London dinner party?

    2 Why do Japanese people keep silent while eating?

    3What is important in Africa and the Middle East before eating?

    4 How many rules should you remember while eating in Africa?

    5 What does the passage mainly talk about?

    1. No. / No, it isn’t.

    2. Because they think mealtime is for eating, not talking.

    3. Washing hands. / To wash hands.

    4. Two.

    5. Different countries have different cultures and how we can deal with them.

At the age of 12, his father died, and he began to work, first as a printer, then a pilot on a river boat. Those years on the boat went into his book Life on the Mississippi.
