SPEAKING
Ex. 1. Here are some texts containing tips for visitors to five
different parts of the world.
A. Which text do you think is about

• Don’t the surprised if people you don’t know well ask you
how much you earn or how much your car cost. This is quite
normal.
• If you are invited for a meal, people will always offer you a
second helping. You should always say ‘No’, so as not to appear
greedy. This will be understood, and your host will give you more
anyway. If you really don’t want any more, cover your plate with
your hand.
• It is polite to leave some food on your plate at the end of a
meal — if you eat everything, it’s a sign that you want more.
• Don’t drop litter — even cigarette ends. It will be noticed,
and you’ll be fined. You can also be fined if you fail to flush the
toilet in a restaurant or other public place.
• In general, it is considered insulting to give tips, and many
places have signs saying ‘No tipping’.
II
• Greetings can go on for some time — ‘How are you? How is
the day? How’s business? How’s the family?’... Your answer should
always be ‘Fine’, even if you’re not. If there’s a gap in the
conversation, this is usually filed with more greetings.
