b. When you visit a foreign country, behave like the people in this country.

Read the text. Imagine you are in Tibet and New Zealand. Act out the greeting ‘ceremonies’.

You are walking along a street in Tibet. You see a lot of Tibetans sticking out their tongues at each other. Bad manners?

No, just the opposite. This is the Tibetan way to greet each other and to show respect.

The Maori Welcome Ceremony in New Zealand is another unusual way to say 'hello'. Two people press their noses and foreheads together. For the Maori people and at major ceremonies, it is the equivalent of a handshake.

You are having a meal at a Japanese restaurant. You hear loud slurping all the time. Bad table manners? No, just the opposite. Slurping your noodles at the dinner table is a compliment to the chef and it is rude not to slurp.

Read the text. Show the gestures you MUSTN’T make when you visit these countries.

When you travel abroad you have to be very careful about the gestures you make. Some of the most common gestures have different meanings around the globe. For example, the OK sign – when you make a circle with your index finger and thumb –is not OK in certain countries. In France, it means ‘zero’ or ‘worthless’. In Venezuela, Turkey, and Brazil, it is a taboo sign.

JOBS, JOBS

Verse 1 (repeat):

Who works in the kitchen?

It’s a cook, I suppose. Bringing good tastes to your mouth And good smells to your nose.

Verse 2 (repeat):

Who works in a laboratory? A scientist, maybe. She’s busy making something good To use, eat, drink or see.

Chorus:

Don’t use the palm-out, fingers-up ‘stop’ sign in Greece. This common hand gesture is an insult to Greeks.

Jobs, jobs, everywhere. In the street, on the stair. Jobs, jobs, for everyone –Always lots of work to be done. Jobs, jobs, everywhere. In the street, on the stair. Jobs, jobs, for everyone.

Verse 3 (repeat):

Who works in a school?

A teacher does, that’s right. She talks and helps and marks Till the pupils see the light.

Chorus:

Jobs, jobs, everywhere.

In the street, on the stair. Jobs, jobs, for everyone –Always lots of work to be done. Jobs, jobs, everywhere. In the street, on the stair. Jobs, jobs, for everyone.
