Reading & Listening

1 Do gestures suggest the same feelings all aroundthe world? Listen and read to find out. Label the

pictures with phrases from the text.

b) Explain the underlinedwords. Then make sentencesusing them.

c) Demonstrate gestures fromyour country. Explain whatthey mean.

Are you going on holiday abroad this year? Are youthinking about learning a few phrases to get by?Well, you should learn a little about gestures too,because what you say with your head and hands athome can mean something completely different inanother country. Imagine this:

Youre hugging your friend in the street in Tokyowhen you see a Japanese person smiling andyou smile back. Did you know that the Japanesemay smile when they are angry or confused andthat kissing or hugging in public is unacceptablein Japan?

You are in China and your friend is introducing youto her father. He stands opposite you, holding hisright hand in a fist against his left palm andnodding slightly. You feel nervous. Have you donesomething wrong? A clenched fist almost alwayssuggests anger. Well, in China this gesture is apolite way to greet someone.

You are in Thailand. Youre sitting on a bus with thesoles of your shoes showing. Whoops! Be careful.This is insulting.

Youre invited to a family meal in Greece. Youre deepin conversation with your friend and you nod yourhead to show you agree, as all English people do.However, he looks confused and a little surprised.Thats because in Greece people nod their head tosay no while the English shake their head to sayexactly the same thing! The world of gestures can bevery confusing. A harmlessgesture in one countrycan be a terrible insult inanother. So when youare abroad, be veryaware of what you aresaying with your body!

2 a) Read again and complete the sentences. 1 A Japanese person can be insulted if ....................... .2 To greet someone in China, .................................. .3 If a Thai sees the soles of your shoes showing, hell be ...... . 4 If a Greek nods his head, he ................................. .5 While travelling abroad we should be careful how ........... .

Grammar Present simple present continuous

3 Study the table. Find examples in the text on p. 10.

We use the present simple for habits/routines. He walks to work. for timetables. The train arrives at 7:00 pm.We use the present continuous for actions happening now or around the time of speaking. They

are watching TV now. for fixed future arrangements. Were having a party this Sunday. for annoying actions. Hes always biting his nails.Some verbs do not have continuous tenses because they describe astate not an action (like, hate, believe, etc). He likes tennis. Someverbs can have continuous tenses but with a difference in meaning. Ithink hes lying. (= believe) Im thinking of going out.(= considering)

Its that time of year again and youre back at school. The new girl inyour class seems very interesting and you would like to get to know herbetter. Unfortunately, what usually happens whenever the opportunityto talk to someone comes up, is that you cant think of anything to say.Your palms sweat, you blush, and you look away.Whether you are starting a new school, going to a party where you dontknow anyone or want to approach a person you fancy, you often needto break the ice in order to start a friendly conversation. Breaking the icemeans saying or doing something to stop feeling shy or uncomfortablearound someone you dont know very well. The reason you feel this wayis that you dont know how the other person will react. Dont let it getyou down, though.You shouldnt worry. Almost everyone feels uncomfortable when theymeet someone for the first time. If you feel this way, the following tipscan help you out. Smile: When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy totalk to. They are also very likely to smile back and help you feel morecomfortable about starting a conversation. Be positive: Everybody likes being around happy people. Try toalways look on the bright side of life and to see something positive evenin negative situations. People will enjoy your positive energy and benefitfrom it. Also, be confident. If you like yourself, others will probably likeyou too. Be a good listener: Develop listening skills. Dont take over theconversation and dont just talk about yourself. Ask other peoplequestions about themselves too. This way theyll know youreinterested in them. Be sociable: Dont avoid being around new people just because youfeel uncomfortable. If you face a situation again and again, youll get usedto it. Its not easy, but its worth it. After all, the other person may want totalk to you as well but may be too shy to break the ice!

Socialising in the UK

Project

4 Portfolio: Answer the questions in Ex. 2 again but thistime about your country. Use your answers to write ashort article for an international school magazine aboutsocial etiquette in your country.

1 Read the title of the text and the headings under the pictures. What do you think people in theUK do in these situations? Listen and read to find out.

British people are quite reserved whengreeting one another. A handshake is themost common form of greeting when youmeet someone for the first time. It is onlywhen you greet close friends or relativesthat you would kiss them on the cheek orgive them a hug. The British may also callyou by many different affectionatenames, such as dear, chuck, mate, gov,son or love. Do not be offended, this isquite normal.

The British like their privacy, so not alltopics are safe for small talk. Avoid asking

people about their age, religion, politics,marital status, weight or how much theyearn. Instead, acceptable small talk topicsare family, films, television, sport, studies,food, hobbies and of course, the weather!

When you visit people at home, makesure you are on time. Its also nice to takea gift for your hosts, such as a bunch offlowers or a box of chocolates. A Britishperson might say come and see mesoon or drop in any time. However, youmust always phone before you visitsomeone.

* Personal, Social & Health Education

1 Listen to and read thepoem. How is it related to the title of the text?

Losing friends is about as easy as makingfriends if you dont know how to deal with

anger and conflict1. Conflict is part ofeveryones life. It will show up at school, at work

and at home. Its OK to feel angry, frustrated,annoyed, disappointed or sad. These feelings are natural,

but its how you deal with them that makes thedifference. Some people scream, shout, swear2, call people

names, try to get back at or even hit the person who has hurt them.Others do their best to keep away from disagreements but very few deal

with conflict successfully. Resolving conflict is a step by step process. Before you start discussing

the problem, cool off, count to 10, take a deep breath and imagine a relaxingplace. Then, say whats really bothering you, but watch how you express

yourself. Dont blame or accuse. Share how you feel by using Istatements. For example, dont say You are always bossing me

around, but I feel frustrated because you dont pay attention towhat I think.

You want people to hear your opinion so make sure you practise whatyou preach3. Listen carefully to the other person and accept that he or she

might see the problem in a different way. Be flexible and open-minded,willing to apologise, forgive and move on.

3 Match the words/phrases inbold to their synonyms. findinga solution, appear, angry,

order around, discouraged,

hold responsible, willing to

change, course of action

5 How do you deal with arguments? Whats thebest way to handle such situations? Discuss in pairs.

1 Frank is mainly talking aboutA gestures.B meeting new people.C saying goodbye to a relative.

We talk, we write, we draw, but we also communicate with our bodies. We

all use gestures, whether we want to or not, that communicate our feelings.

There are always signs that show we feel a little sleepy. We yawn and often

there are dark areas under our eyes.

If we cant understand something we often scratch our head. Also, we look

up or down.

When we feel a little uncomfortable because of something we have done, we

often blush. Our cheeks go red and sometimes our whole face does too.

There are many ways to communicate this feeling. Some people clench their

fists while others frown.

When we have butterflies in our stomach, for example before an important

exam, we often bite our nails.
