In England people usually don't talk very much. On a bus or a train, you can see that everyone sits
looking out of the window (看着窗外). And they often read books and newspapers. But they don't talk
much. When you meet English people, they often talk about one thing--the weather. So when you meet
someone in England, you can say, "It's fine today, isn't it?"
     "But it was a little cold yesterday." He may answer.

     Talk like this, and the English will think ."How friendly you are!"

     Have you ever shopped in Beijing? Do you know bargaining (A) is the rule there? At least, it is so in most
markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar (不熟悉的) with it, we'd
like to offer you some advice. The tips here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the
world where bargaining is practiced. 
    ▲Do not say how much you want to pay for something unless it's near the end of the bargaining. Always
try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price(B).
    ▲Do throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.
    ▲从开始到最后都要保持微笑(C). The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face.
Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.
    ▲Keep in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally
reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.
    ▲Do have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know,
or look at the list below. This is very general and is based (根据) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be
able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a week-end when there are lots of tourists around.
