Dear grandpa,
How are you? I'm writing to say a big “Thank you” for my birthday gift. I really love the MP6 and I listen to it every day when I walk to work.
Everything here is going well. I started my new job last week and I like it very much. These days I'm living with some friends in an apartment(公寓) in the city center, but it's very expensive, so I'm trying to find another place. I will look at an apartment tomorrow, ten kilometers outside the city.
What other news(消息) is here? Well, I'm learning to drive these days. Mom told me on the phone last night that you bought a new car. Is the car cool?
I saw Mom and Dad last week. I traveled(旅行) down Bridgton on Friday night and stayed for the weekend. Mom's fine but Day isn't very happy. He doesn't like his job. I think he should try to find a new one.
I have to stop now because Joe is calling me. We will go to Mary's party tonight. Take care, and thank you again.
Yours,
Dave

Social customs and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t matter? What about table manners?
The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness（准时） is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay（耽误）.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable—especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

A. don’t speak the same language
