Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs（風(fēng)俗）of the country.
When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands（握手）. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say “Goodbye”. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year a group of German students went to English for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible. So they put their hands in front and get ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

Different countries have different customs. When you travel to another country, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “           . ”
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (付小費(fèi)). It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek. Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
