1: Meeting and greeting
It’s better to give than to receive 1
Read the text. Look up any words you don’t know in a dictionary. Bhutan is a country at the eastern end of the Himalayas. The exchange of gifts is an important part of Bhutanese life. When you receive a present from someone, you should give a present in return. If their present comes in a container, you should return the container with a few sweets or biscuits, or some fruit in it. You should never open a present in public, or in front of the person who gave you the present.
Using a dictionary
Study skills
Use a good dictionary to help you with difficult words in a text. It will show you how to pronounce the word and what sort of word it is, and it will explain the meaning. It may even have a picture to help you.
pl e
When you first move into a house, especially in a country area, your new neighbours may welcome you with gifts of eggs, apples or potatoes from their garden. People also give presents to someone who is going away from home to study overseas, or on a long trip.
m
When receiving a gift, the Bhutanese always gently refuse to take the gift for a few minutes, with polite comments such as: ‘You really don’t have to do this,’ ‘You shouldn’t have taken so much trouble,’ ‘It’s OK, I don’t really need it.’ You should offer the gift a second or third time. The person will then accept the gift.
This tells you how to pronounce the word.

This tells you what sort of word it is. This tells you the meaning.
