1 Is the author of this passage male or female? How do you know?
The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not
shake hands with women, but he shakes
with the author.
2 What were the two mistakes that the author noticed?
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?
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 prefercloser physical distance.
4 Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones?
Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene
from France had 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?
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.
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 situation
where body language is the
only form of communication?
Why?
