In formal situations ...1 Japanese people shake hands. No2 They bow when they meet. 3 If you come from another country, it’s OK to

shake hands. 4 When you meet someone, it’s important to

look at them. 5 It’s good to nod when someone is speaking

to show you’re paying attention. 6 When you’re talking to someone, you can put your hand on their arm to show you agree with

them.

4 Complete the crossword with words you have used in this unit.

Across1 In some countries, you greet people by giving them

a ___ on the cheek. (4 letters)4 A person you work with. (9)8 Move your hand when saying ‘Hello’ or ‘Goodbye’. (4) 9 Put your arms around someone. (3) 10 ‘How are you?’ ‘I’m ___, thanks.’ (4) 11 A short way of saying ‘Hello’. (2) 12 The part of your face below your mouth.

Your thumbs touch it when you greet a friend in Thailand. (4)

Down2 In some countries, you ___ hands when you meet someone. (5) 3 A short way of saying ‘Goodbye’. (3)5 The opposite of younger. (5)6 A movement of the hand, arm or head to express

something. (7)7 In Japan, it’s polite to ___ your head when you meet

someone. (3) 10 A close ___ is someone you know very well. (6)

In Japan, the formal way to greet each other is by bowing. Foreign visitors can shake hands and bow their head a little when they meet, or just nod their head. The bow is quick, you don’t smile and there is little, or no, eye contact. In a conversation, when you are listening to a Japanese person, it is important to nod your head. This shows that you are listening and that you understand the speaker. When you wave your hand in front of your face it means ‘No’ or ‘I don’t know.’ Don’t stand too close to the other person and never touch or hug them.

1: Meeting and greeting


It’s better to give than to receive1 Read the text. Look up any words you don’t know in a

dictionary.

Bhutan is a country at the eastern end of the Himalayas. The exchange of gifts is an important part of Bhutanese life.When you receive a present from someone, you should give a present in return. If their present comes in a container, you should return the container with a few sweets or biscuits, or some fruit in it. You should never open a present in public, or in front of the person who gave you the present.When you fi rst move into a house, especially in a country area, your new neighbours may welcome you with gifts of eggs, apples or potatoes from their garden. People also give presents to someone who is going away from home to study overseas, or on a long trip.When receiving a gift, the Bhutanese always gently refuse to take the gift for a few minutes, with polite comments such as: ‘You really don’t have to do this,’ ‘You shouldn’t have taken so much trouble,’ ‘It’s OK, I don’t really need it.’ You should offer the gift a second or third time. The person will then accept the gift.

2 Write the meaning of the following words and phrases.

1 a present a gift2 a container 3 in public 4 neighbours 5 overseas 6 trip 7 refuse 8 comments
