Read the text with these questions in mind. 带着问题读课文。22
1. Find three rules of communication when you meet Westerners.2. What will you say if people praise your English?
HELLO! Westerners are not as formal as they used to be. Whenpeople meet, they often just say “Hi” or “Hello”. When theyleave a party, they may just say, “Well, so long, everybody.See you again.” However, there are still some rules for communication. If you have a chance to meet Westerners, try to follow some basic rules. Be the first to say hello and introduce yourself. Look into people’s eyes and smile when you shake hands with them. Never ask about their age or weight, especially women! If they praise you, such as “You speak very good English”, don’t say “No, no. My English is very poor”. Just say “Thank you”.
