Ράπτη Χαρίκλεια

DOs

1. DO STAND IN LINE

British people like forming queues and waiting patiently for their turn. “Line jumping” isn’t a good habit.

2. DO SAY “EXCUSE ME, PLEASE,THANK YOU”

3. DO SAY “I’M SORRY”

• British people really appreciate good manners. Saying “I’m sorry, thank you, excuse me” shows that you’re a polite person.

4. COVER YOUR MOUTH

When coughing or yawning always cover your mouth with your hand.

5. SHAKE HANDS

• When you are first introduced with someone, shake their right hand with your own right hand.

6. SMILE

• A smiling face is a welcoming face.

7. OPEN DOORS FOR OTHER PEOPLE

• Men and women both hold open doors for each other. The first who goes through the door holds the door open for the other person.
