It can’t be true 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?”

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.

American Manners
When people in the United States have company or when they are invited to a get-together, they usually make a point of trying to make others feel comfortable and relaxed. On the whole, they like to be informal. Men shake hands, but usually only when they are introduced. Male friends and business associates who haven't seen each other in a while may shake hands when they say hello. When a woman and a man are introduced, shaking hands is up to the woman. Americans rarely shake hands to say good-bye, except on business occasions.
American women are used to being independent. They are used to going to places by themselves, earning their own money, and often living alone. Sometimes they will ask men for help, but they usually don't want to be protected. American women may start conversations with men or even ask them to dance.
There are a lot of Americans who don't smoke or drink, and many who don't want people to do those things in their houses. It's always best to ask for permission before you bring alcohol to a dinner or before you light up a cigarette, if you are with people you don't know very well. Nonsmokers have become more militant about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, hotels and trains, for instance, have established special sections for smokers.
House guests may bring a gift when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there's anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actually helping.
