Japan

Never stick your chopsticks vertically in a bowl of rice in Japan. It’s considered extremely taboo because it reminds people of funerals where a bowl of rice is offered with two chopsticks standing vertically in the center as an offering to the deceased.

Vietnam

It is considered a major cultural mistake not to remove your shoes before entering a home in Vietnam as the interior of a home represents personal space. You have to show respect by leaving your shoes outside the door and make sure your feet are clean.

Greece

Leaving food on your plate in Greece can be seen as an insult to your host as it can imply that you didn’t think the food was appetizing.

Russia

Giving a person yellow flowers in Russia represents hate and is offensive. Yellow flowers are also considered funeral flowers. They only give flowers in odd numbers, an even number of flowers is never given.

India

Indian food is generally meant to be eaten with your fingers and will be served in such a way as to make that convenient for you. Use two fingers and the bread to scoop up liquidy dishes. Make sure to use your right hand when eating as the left is seen as ‘unclean’ and disrespectful.

Morocco

Modesty isn’t just seen as a religious issue but is also a sign of respect and politeness in Morocco. Both genders are generally expected to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and goes to below the knees. Running shorts, sleeveless shirts, and beachwear are only worn when playing sports or at the beach, and if worn at other times are almost tantamount to wearing only your underwear.

China

Gift giving is an important ritual in China, but when you’re picking out a present be sure to avoid any cutting implements. Never give knives, scissors, or any other cutting equipment as gifts because they signal the end of your relationship.

Mexico

Patience is a virtue in Mexico. Mexicans are extremely polite, so losing your temper over delays or complaining loudly will get you branded as rude and make people less inclined to help you.

United Arab Emirates

If you travel to a Muslim country during Ramadan, a Holy month observed by the Muslims all over the world, know that observant people will be fasting from sunup to sundown. It is a very poor manners to eat or drink in front of people who are fasting. This doesn’t mean you don’t need to follow their fast but you should eat your meals where they won’t be bothered by the sight, sound, or smell of you eating.

Japan

Here, as in most countries, you pour your own drink when you’re thirsty. In Japan, this is considered greedy, narcissistic, and even anti-social. In other words, you are being incredibly rude by pouring your beer, wine, or sake into your own glass. Instead, it is proper to pour for other people at the table first, and they will in turn reciprocate the gesture. If you finish your glass before others do, simply top them off, and you will get the same treatment.

Can money buy happiness or not?

Nowadays money is very important. It can change everything in our lives, and also can bring you some kind of happiness. For example, imagine if your parents or someone close had problems with money, but needed it a lot, so you decide to help them and give some money. You will bring so much joy and happiness in that person’s life, and that brings happiness to you, too. Or another example is when you were working a lot to earn some money to have your dream life, isn’t it happiness? I think it is. But there is also a bad thing in money. If you’re addicted to it, you can’t see other things in life expect of money. That’s really very bad. Also you can loose everything because of it.
So I think that money can buy happiness, but not always.

Writing An email to my friend/ write a letter to your friend according to the model on slide 18 in NEF Student’s book, make sure you follow the rule of letter writing.

Hi Emily,
Thank you for your email. Of course, I can tell you about Gohar. She’s 13, but in a few days, she’ll turn 14. She studies in the same school and in the same class as me.
She’s quite friendly. She has a little brother and also a little cousin, with whom she likes to spend time and loves a lot. Also, Gohar likes to spend time with all her family. She is really responsible and always does what she promises to do. She is clever, hard-working, and wants to focus on studying. She likes listening to music and watching some series, but not very often. She wants to be a doctor.
I think her negative sides are ignoring, and not doing what she doesn’t want but has to. I think that’s all.
I hope this is useful.
Love, Nane
