Use the passage to help you answer the following questions.
1. Is the author of this passage male or female? How do you know?
2. What were the two mistakes that the author noticed?
The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author.
He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the British woman, but in her culture, a kiss from a stranger is not acceptable. 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.
3. Who seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer physical distance?
4. Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones?
The British woman, Julia, and probably the Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others. The Colombian man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed to prefer closer physical distance.
Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France bad a similar greeting custom – a kiss. George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom – a handshake, but Ahmed shakes
hands only with men.
5. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” What do you think this famous saying means?
6. Do you agree with the author’s statement that body language is not good or bad? Why or why not?
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.
Give your own opinions.
Work in groups of four. Read the following questions and then choose one to discuss together.
1. If you meet a foreigner who comes up close to you to talk, what countries might he be from? How can you show him that you are uncomfortable with that?
2. If a girl in shorts goes into a Muslim house and a man takes her outside pointing at her shoes and shorts, what should she do? Guess why he is so particular.
3. What are some situations where body language is the only form of communication? Why?
Different countries have different cultures, so
when people greet each other, they will have
different ways. If people don’t know the cultural
differences well, people may have difficulties in
communicating with others throughout the world.
