Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author. 2) What were the two mistakes that the author noticed? He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the British woman, but in her culture, a kiss from a stranger is not expected. He also noticed that the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man started to shake hands, so one man’s nose touched the other man’s hand.

George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom — a handshake, but Ahmed shakes hands only with men.

This saying means that when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs. 6) Do you agree with the author’s statement that body language is not good or bad? Why or why not?

23. Sum up or draw a conclusion of the text. The questions below may give you some hints. • Can we expect people everywhere to act the same? Why? Why do you think we need to study body language? People in different parts of the world don’t act the same. Their body languages vary from culture to culture and may be different because of social background. Learning a foreign language is more than learning the knowledge of the language itself. It is important for us to be aware of the culture difference because it is crucial and indispensable for successful communication.
