Dear friend,
Hi! How are you? I'm fine! I enjoyed reading your email very much.Let me tell you all about my culture.
A handshake is the most common form of greeting among the English and British people and is
customary when you are introduced to somebody new. You usually kiss the cheek only when you meet
friends that you haven't seen for a long time. One kiss is generally enough.
British people place considerable value on punctuality. If you agree to meet friends at three o'clock,
you can bet that they'll be there just after three. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few
minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are
meeting.
Our eating habits are really strict. You may eat chicken and pizza with your fingers if you are at a
barbecue, or very informal setting. However, if the setting is formal, always use a knife and fork.
I'm planning to visit your country next January and I'd like some information about your customs and
traditions so I don't feel uncomfortable there.
I look forward to your reply.
Kisses and hugs!
John.
