Unit 7 You're supposed to shake hands.

[00:07.72]SECTION B

[00:09.87]1 How much do you know about table manners 1

[00:13.60]around the world?

[00:15.47]Take the following quiz 2.

[00:18.06]Write "T"(for true)or "F"(for false)

[00:22.21]after each sentence.

[00:25.34]2a Tomorrow Steve is going to Japan

[00:29.40]to be an exchange student.

[00:31.74]His Japanese friend Satoshi

[00:34.27]is telling him about the table manners in Japan.

[00:37.91]Listen and number the pictures in the order

[00:40.70]Satoshi talks about them.

[00:43.24]You must be really excited about leaving

[00:45.27]for Japan tomorrow,Steve!

[00:46.93]Yeah,I am. But I'm a little nervous,too.

[00:50.13]Nervous about what?Well, for one thing,

[00:52.96]I don't know how to use chopsticks very well...

[00:55.59]and I don't know how to behave at the dinner

[00:57.39]table.Oh, I see.

[00:59.85]I could give you a little lesson

[01:01.36]on Japanese table manners if you'd like.

[01:03.61]Really? That would be great!

[01:05.64]Hmmmm. Let me see.

[01:07.66]One difference is that sometimes

[01:09.59]it's polite to make noise when you're eating.

[01:11.99]Especially when you're eating noodles.

[01:13.78]It shows that you like the food.

[01:15.62]Really?That's interesting.

[01:17.49]In the United 3 States you're not supposed

[01:19.19]to do that.Yeah,I know.

[01:21.47]OK, so here are some chopstick rules:

[01:23.96]it's rude to stick your chopsticks

[01:25.60]into your food.And you shouldn't point at anyone

[01:28.46]with your chopsticks.Oh, OK. I won't.

[01:32.35]And also,this isn't about table manners exactly

[01:35.90]but you should know that it's rude to eat

[01:37.93]or drink while walking down the street.

[01:40.14]Huh.Oh,and the most important thing you need

[01:43.51]to know is that you're not supposed to talk

[01:45.58]when you're eating dinner.

[01:46.81]Only parents are allowed to talk

[01:48.59]at the dinner table.

[01:49.70]Children are not allowed to speak.

[01:51.99]Wow!That's ...that's unusual!

[01:55.02]I'm just kidding!Steve!

[01:57.71]2b Listen again.Match these sentence parts.

[02:03.93]2c PAIRWORK

[02:06.56]Talk about the table manners in your country.

[02:10.52]We're supposed to...

[02:12.82]Yes,and it's rude to...

[02:16.24]3a Read the e-mail message from Wang Kun

[02:21.23]and answer the questions.

[02:23.77]Dear Laura,

[02:25.23]Thanks for your message.

[02:27.19]Yes,I'm having a great time

[02:29.51]on my exchange program in France.

[02:32.12]It's even better than I thought it would be.

[02:34.99]I was a bit nervous before I arrived here,

[02:38.13]but there was no reason to be.

[02:40.61]My host family is really nice.

[02:43.14]They go out of their way to make me feel at home

[02:46.81]And you would't believe

[02:48.29]how quickly my French has improved!

[02:50.73]I'm very comfortable speaking French now.

[02:54.12]Although I still make lots of mistakes.

[02:57.20]it doesn't bother 4 me like it used 5 to.

[02:59.91]My biggest challenge 6 is learning 7

[03:01.81]how to behave at the dinner table.

[03:05.00]As you can imagine, things are really different

[03:08.42]from the way they are at home.

[03:11.59]For example,you're not supposed

[03:13.89]to put your bread on your plate.

[03:16.07]You're supposed to put it in on the table!

[03:19.23]I thought that was pretty strange at first,

[03:22.20]but now I'm used to it.

[03:24.50]You're not supposed to eat anything with your

[03:27.19]hands except bread,not even fruit!

[03:30.97](You had to cut it up and eat it with a fork.)

[03:34.59]Another thing is that it is very rude to say

[03:37.99]you're full.If you don't want any more food,

[03:41.61]you should just say,"It was delicious."

[03:44.76]Also,it's rude to put you hands in your lap 8.

[03:48.66]You should always keep your hands,

[03:50.92]but not your elbows,on the table.

[03:53.76]I have to say,

[03:55.06]I find it difficult to remember everything,

[03:58.01]but I'm gradually 9 getting used to things

[04:00.83]and don't find them so strange any more.

[04:04.48]I'll write soon and tell you more about life

[04:06.66]in France.

[04:07.76]Hope you're having a good school year.

[04:10.21]Wang Kun

[04:13.81]3b Imagine that you are Steve from 2b.

[04:21.87]Write an e-mail message to a friend about

[04:26.35]the table manners in Janpan.

[04:30.72]3c Write an e-mail message telling someone

[04:35.51]from another country about the table manners

[04:38.71]in your country.

[04:40.80]4 GROUPWORK

[04:43.55]How can you help visitors to China?

[04:46.91]Make a list of things people are supposed to do

[04:51.24]in these different situations.

[04:54.35]eating meals with other people

[04:57.63]giving compliments 10

[05:00.16]introducing other people
