　　The Americans and the British 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. This is often true for women as well as for men. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman and so will most Americans.

　　Neither the British nor the Americans object to (反对) standing in a queue, at the post office, the movies, the bank or anywhere. Promptness is important both in England and America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time or calls up to explain why he will be late or why he can't come. Of course, these two peoples have other customs that are different: the Americans have “coffee breaks”, the British more often have “tea breaks”, for example. But there is much more that they have in common.

Dear Joseph,

　　I've been a flight attendant for six years. I love my job! I've traveled all over the United States. I've traveled to Europe and Japan and Australia. My hobby is visiting museums. I've been to museums in 25 cities and five different countries. I've been to art museums, space museums, and even a baseball card museum. I'm glad I learned English at school. I couldn't do this job if I didn't speak English. I hope you are still working hard to lean English, too.

Your friend,

Lana

Near Greenland is another land. It's very small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think Greenland is green and warm? And do you think Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are quite wrong.
