In Thailand it’s rude to touch people’s heads and point your feet at people. People in Europe don’t expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them. In Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems aggressive and unfriendly. It’s OK to stand quite close to people in South America. It’s OK to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking. You should avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia. In most Asian countries you must take off your shoes in people’s homes. It’s a good idea to admire beautiful things in an Arab person’s home.

A llott off people l llove ttravelling lli tto diff differentt countries, ti but b t if you’re ’ planning to go abroad this year, Neil Palmer has some advice on what you should do in different situations around the world.
Body language Most travellers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, for example, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if you’re travelling in Thailand, never touch people’s heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people they like giving business cards – but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket.
Face-to-face communication In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems aggressive and unfriendly. And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the UK or the USA you need to give people more ‘personal space’. Also, it’s very rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.

In China you should/shouldn’t accept a present immediately. You should give presents in China with one hand/ both hands. In Thailand you should/shouldn’t open a present when you get it. Knives are a good/bad present to give in Japan. You should never give Chinese/British people four of anything. You shouldn’t give your Turkish hostess white/red flowers.

a Work in pairs. Notice the extra linking sounds /j/, /w/ and /r/. Then mark the consonant-vowel linking in these sentences. But it isn’t as easy /j/ as that, is it? If you /w/ accept it immediately, people might think you’re greedy. And is there /r/ anything you shouldn’t give as a present?
b Look at Audio Script CD2 51 p161. Check your answers.
Eating out In restaurants in China you should always try to leave a bit of food on your plate, but it’s OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn’t do in the UK. If you’re in India, remember to eat with your right hand – the left hand is ‘dirty’. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia – that’s bad luck.
In the home If you’re travelling in Asia, someone might invite you to visit them at home. If so, don’t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present. With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that a lot of people prefer going on holiday in their own countries – or you might decide to stay at home!

visit their city or country. Students make notes on six places the friends should go and why they should go there, as shown in the examples for Spain. Monitor and check students are making notes, not writing complete sentences.
14 Put students into groups and choose the
appropriate instructions for your class. Focus students on the speech bubbles to remind them of the language they need to use. Students do the activity in their groups. Students then choose the six best places to go from all the groups’ suggestions. Finally, ask each group to tell the class the six places they have chosen and why they chose these places. WritiNG
Students use the notes they made in 13 to write about the six places, giving reasons why people should visit them and what you can do there.
12 a Students work on their own and write six places
they have been to. They can write the names of countries, regions, towns or cities.
b Use the speech bubbles to show that we often use the infi nitive of purpose to answer questions with Why … ?. Students work in pairs and swap lists. Students take turns to ask and answer about their partner’s places. Encourage them to ask follow-up questions if possible.

Point out that like/love + verb+ing is more common in the UK (I like watching TV). In the USA, like/love + infinitive with to is more common (I like to watch TV). Note that some verbs, for example need, try and remember, change their meaning depending on the verb pattern that follows. However, at this level we suggest you just focus on the verb patterns in the table as these are the most common, and leave the analysis of these different meanings for later on in students’ language development.
