1.It can't be truer that when in Rome do as the Romans do.So it's necessary for you to know what you can talk about with the local people in other countries.In France
You'll find that conversations often turn into heated discussions.You'd better give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about.There is seldom a moment of silence,except when the topic under discussion has been finished,and nothing new has been introduced.
Food,art,music and current events or history are welcome topics.The French believe in freedom,and you can criticize(批评)anyone,but not Napoleon,who stands for the French spirit.Moreover,never use the conversation opener"What do you do?"
In Australia
Generally speaking,the Australians are excited about discussions.Many topics may be open to discussion,including religion and politics.The best way,however,is to wait for Australians to bring up these two subjects; be prepared to listen to what they are talking about.
The Australians like to criticize themselves,but they can't stand being criticized by others.Don't talk big.Instead,the Australians prefer to judge(判断)your abilities through your actions.People who show off their education in conversation may be laughed at.
In Switzerland
The Swiss may seem cold.Once you get close to them,however,you'll find that they are honest,responsible people,who will respect your interests much.
