Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and
some of the customs of the country.
When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say, “How do you
do?” and shake hands. 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 England for a holiday. Their
teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they 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 got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them
laugh.

How do you like my plan? What about yours? Write to tell me soon.
Yours,
Li Ming
