Unit 7 You're supposed to shake hands.
[00:07.72]SECTION B
[00:09.87]1 How much do you know about table manners¹
[00:13.60]around the world?
[00:15.47]Take the following quiz².
[00:18.06]Write "T"(for true)or "F"(for false)
[00:22.21]after each sentence.
[00:25.34]2a Tomorrow Steve is going to Japan
[00:29.40]to be an exchange student.
[00:31.74]His Japanese friend Satoshi
[00:34.27]is telling him about the table manners in Japan.
[00:37.91]Listen and number the pictures in the order
[00:40.70]Satoshi talks about them.
[00:43.24]You must be really excited about leaving
[00:45.27]for Japan tomorrow,Steve!
[00:46.93]Yeah,I am. But I'm a little nervous,too.
[00:50.13]Nervous about what?Well, for one thing,
[00:52.96]I don't know how to use chopsticks very well...
[00:55.59]and I don't know how to behave at the dinner
[00:57.39]table.Oh, I see.
[00:59.85]I could give you a little lesson
[01:01.36]on Japanese table manners if you'd like.
[01:03.61]Really? That would be great!
[01:05.64]Hmmmm. Let me see.
[01:07.66]One difference is that sometimes
[01:09.59]it's polite to make noise when you're eating.
[01:11.99]Especially when you're eating noodles.
[01:13.78]It shows that you like the food.
[01:15.62]Really?That's interesting.
[01:17.49]In the United³ States you're not supposed
[01:19.19]to do that.Yeah,I know.
[01:21.47]OK, so here are some chopstick rules:
[01:23.96]it's rude to stick your chopsticks
[01:25.60]into your food.And you shouldn't point at anyone
[01:28.46]with your chopsticks.Oh, OK. I won't.
[01:32.35]And also,this isn't about table manners exactly
[01:35.90]but you should know that it's rude to eat
[01:37.93]or drink while walking down the street.
[01:40.14]Huh.Oh,and the most important thing you need
[01:43.51]to know is that you're not supposed to talk
[01:45.58]when you're eating dinner.
[01:46.81]Only parents are allowed to talk
[01:48.59]at the dinner table.
[01:49.70]Children are not allowed to speak.
[01:51.99]Wow!That's ...that's unusual!
[01:55.02]I'm just kidding!Steve!
[01:57.71]2b Listen again.Match these sentence parts.
[02:03.93]2c PAIRWORK
[02:06.56]Talk about the table manners in your country.
[02:10.52]We're supposed to...
[02:12.82]Yes,and it's rude to...
[02:16.24]3a Read the e-mail message from Wang Kun
[02:21.23]and answer the questions.
[02:23.77]Dear Laura,
[02:25.23]Thanks for your message.
[02:27.19]Yes,I'm having a great time
[02:29.51]on my exchange program in France.
[02:32.12]It's even better than I thought it would be.
[02:34.99]I was a bit nervous before I arrived here,
[02:38.13]but there was no reason to be.
[02:40.61]My host family is really nice.
[02:43.14]They go out of their way to make me feel at home
[02:46.81]And you would't believe
[02:48.29]how quickly my French has improved!
[02:50.73]I'm very comfortable speaking French now.
[02:54.12]Although I still make lots of mistakes.
[02:57.20]it doesn't bother⁴ me like it used⁵ to.
[02:59.91]My biggest challenge⁶ is learning⁷
[03:01.81]how to behave at the dinner table.
[03:05.00]As you can imagine, things are really different
[03:08.42]from the way they are at home.
[03:11.59]For example,you're not supposed
[03:13.89]to put your bread on your plate.
[03:16.07]You're supposed to put it in on the table!
[03:19.23]I thought that was pretty strange at first,
[03:22.20]but now I'm used to it.
[03:24.50]You're not supposed to eat anything with your
[03:27.19]hands except bread,not even fruit!
[03:30.97](You had to cut it up and eat it with a fork.)
[03:34.59]Another thing is that it is very rude to say
[03:37.99]you're full.If you don't want any more food,
[03:41.61]you should just say,"It was delicious."
[03:44.76]Also,it's rude to put you hands in your lap⁸.
[03:48.66]You should always keep your hands,
[03:50.92]but not your elbows,on the table.
[03:53.76]I have to say,
[03:55.06]I find it difficult to remember everything,
[03:58.01]but I'm gradually⁹ getting used to things
[04:00.83]and don't find them so strange any more.
[04:04.48]I'll write soon and tell you more about life
[04:06.66]in France.
[04:07.76]Hope you're having a good school year.
[04:10.21]Wang Kun
[04:13.81]3b Imagine that you are Steve from 2b.
[04:21.87]Write an e-mail message to a friend about
[04:26.35]the table manners in Janpan.
[04:30.72]3c Write an e-mail message telling someone
[04:35.51]from another country about the table manners
[04:38.71]in your country.
[04:40.80]4 GROUPWORK
[04:43.55]How can you help visitors to China?
[04:46.91]Make a list of things people are supposed to do
[04:51.24]in these different situations.
[04:54.35]eating meals with other people
[04:57.63]giving compliments¹⁰
[05:00.16]introducing other people
[05:03.49]making a toast at dinner
[05:06.86]making appointments¹¹

[05:12.97]speaking to older people
