16.Manners are very important for our daily life.There are many different customs and habits among different countries.We must find out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered.Here are examples of the things that a person with good education should do.
If you visit a Chinese family,you should knock at the door first.When the door opens,you will not move before the host says"Come in,please."After you enter the room,you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat.When a cup of tea is sent to your hand,you should say"Thank you"and receive it with two hands.Before entering a house in Japan,it is good manners to take off your shoes.In European countries,even though shoes sometimes become very dirty,this is not done.In a Malay house,a visitor always leaves a little food to show that he has had enough.In England,a visitor always finishes the food to show that he has enjoyed it.The host will be pleased with that.
You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe.But it's good manners to give your present in private in Asia.You mustn't give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship.You mustn't give your food to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn't offering you enough to eat.
"Come any time"means"I want you to visit me"in India.If you don't suggest a time at once,the India will think you are refusing the invitation.But if an Englishman says"Come any time",they will think you are impolite if you start fixing a date.
