READING.
Read the article “CULTURE SHOCK!” and use it as a guide to put the
statements below in the order. Use numbers from 1 to 8 for that
purpose.

CULTURE SHOCK

A lot of people love travelling to different countries but if you are


planning to go abroad this year, Neil Palmer has some advice on
what you should do in different situations around the world.
Body language

Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude
without saying anything. In Russia for example, you should never shake
hands in a doorway, and if you are travelling in Thailand, never touch
people’s heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet
new people they like giving business cards – but you should read the card
carefully, not just put it in your pocket.

Face-to-face communication

https://poli.instructure.com/courses/17501/quizzes/63956/history?version=1 8/11
13/12/2020

In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you
talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems
aggressive and unfriendly. And in South America people usually stand
quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the UK or
the USA you need to give people more “personal space”. Also, it’s very
rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must
wait until they finish before you start speaking.

Eating out
In restaurants in China you should always try to leave a bit of food on your
plate, but it’s OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which
you mustn’t do in the UK. If you are in India, , remember to eat with your
right hand – the left hand is “dirty”. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the
dinner table in Russia – that’s bad luck.

In the home
If you are travelling in Asia, someone might invite you to visit them at
home. If so, don’t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you
visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire anything valuable because your
host will feel he should give it to you as a present.

2 It is recommended to immediately read a business card a person from


Japan gives you.

[ Seleccionar ] If you go to a restaurant in the UK, It’s not

recommended to start smoking if some of the diners at your table didn’t


finish eating yet.

[ Seleccionar ] You have to remove your shoes if

someone invites you into their house in Asia.

[ Seleccionar ] It is not a good idea to shake hands with a

Russian before going through their house’s door.

[ Seleccionar ] Asian people do not feel at ease if you

look them in the eye for long periods of time as you talk to them.
8 Telling and Arab host one of their lamps is beautiful while at their home
is not recommended.

[ Seleccionar ] Americans do not like standing so close to

https://poli.instructure.com/courses/17501/quizzes/63956/history?version=1 9/11

each other in social situations.

[ Seleccionar ] Japanese people don’t like being

interrupted when they are speaking.
