When in Rome
Daniel: Hi, everyone. Today we've invited Jenny to talk about manners in the UK. What's the proper way to greet people there, Jenny?
Jenny: Well, British people say "hello" or "nice to meet you" and shake your hand when they meet you for the first time.
Daniel: Do they greet people with a kiss?
Jenny: No. British people only greet relatives or close friends with a kiss.
Daniel: How do people start a conversation?
Jenny: They talk about the weather, holidays, music, books or something else. But please avoid subjects like age, weight or money.
Daniel: Do people there behave politely in public?
Jenny: Yes, they do. They always queue. They think it's rude to push in before others. Also, if they bump into someone in the street, they'll say "sorry".
Daniel: Anything else?
Jenny: If you're in their way, they won't touch you or push past you. They'll say "excuse me" and be polite enough to wait till you move.
Daniel: British people are very polite at home as well, aren't they?
Jenny: Yes. They say "please" and "think you" all the time!
Daniel: Any other tips for us if we're going to the UK?
Jenny: Let me see. Oh, keep your voice down in public. British people don't like to shout or laugh loudly.
Daniel: OK. Thanks, Jenny. Now We've learnt more about manners in the UK. I'm sure they're helpful to us.
Jenny: I hope so. Just as the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
