From the time we were babies we have been taught manners.We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full.We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.

  Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else.Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other.But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚)it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other.So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.

  Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福).They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new-born baby.In most other places, spitting means something completely different.It usually shows an unhealthy habit.In many countries, it may mean that you hate someone.

  When we go to visit someone we say “ Hello!” Or “ How are you?” or things like that.

  But if you are visiting an East African village, everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend.You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.

  In a village in Arab, a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit.If he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat.It is rude to refuse.

American Classroom Rules
1. If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you don’t know the answer , it’s all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know . Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
2. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you can not go to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of missed homework.
3. You must not be absent(缺席) on a test day. If you are badly ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you to take a makeup , you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Bad illness is the only reason for missing a test.
4. Be on time! It’s not polite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books out of your bag before you come into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the US, it is not necessary to knock at the door before you come into the classroom.
