Unit 12 You're supposed to shake hands.
[00:05.20]SECTION A
[00:08.44]1b Listen and check your answers in activity 1a.
[00:40.20]2a Maria is an exchange student.
[00:46.45]last night she had dinner at an American friend's house.
[00:52.19]Listen and check the mistakes Maria made.
[01:40.15]2b Listen again and fill in the blanks1.
[02:31.61]3a Read the following opinions of a Colombian
[02:37.86]and a Swiss2 student and fill in the chart3.
[02:42.61]Where I'M from,we're pretty relaxed about time.
[02:47.65]If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner,
[02:52.30]it's okay if you arrive a bit late.
[02:56.14]Spending time with family and friends is very important to us.
[03:02.00]We often just drop by our by our friends'homes.
[03:06.25]We don't usually have to make plans to meet our friends.
[03:11.29]Often we just walk around the town center,
[03:15.66]seeing as many of our friends as we can!
[03:20.52]In Switzerland,it's very important to be on time
[03:25.84]We're the land of watches,after all
[03:29.89]If someone invites you to meet them at 4.00,you have to be there at 4.00
[03:37.16]If you're even fifteen minutes late,your friend may get angry
[03:42.82]Also,we never visit a friend's house without calling first
[03:48.68]We usually make plans to see friends
[03:53.04]We usually plan to do something interesting,or go somewhere together
[03:59.67]SETION B
[04:06.02]2a Tomorrow Steve is going to Japan to be an exchange student.
[04:14.48]His Japanese friend Satoshi is telling him about the table manners4 in Japan.
[04:21.85]Listen.Number the pictures in the order Satoshi talks about them.
[05:43.51]2b Liten again.Match these sentnce parts.
[07:05.77]3a Read the e-mail message from Wang Kun and answer the questions.
[07:12.61]Dear Lindsay,Thanks for your message.
[07:16.98]Yes,I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France.
[07:22.75]It's even better than I thought it would be.
[07:26.90]I was a bit nervous before I arrived here,but there was no reason to be.
[07:32.96]My host family is really nice.
[07:36.91]They go out of their way to make me feel at home.
[07:41.48]And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved!
[07:46.73]I'm very comfortable speaking French now.
[07:50.88]Although I still make lots of mistakes,it doesn't bother5 me like it used6 to.
[07:57.05]My biggest challenge7 is learning8 how to behave at the dinner table.
[08:02.40]As you can imagine,things are really different from the way they are at home.
[08:08.46]For example,you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate.
[08:13.74]You're supposed to put it on the table!
[08:17.50]I thought that was pretty strange at first,but now I'm used to it.
[08:22.96]You're not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread,not even fruit!
[08:29.62](You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.)
[08:33.88]Another thing is that it is very rude to say you're full.
[08:39.52]If you don't want any more food,you should just say,"It was delicious."
[08:45.56]Also,it's rude to put your hands in your lap9.
[08:50.29]You should always keep your hands,but not your elbows,on the table.
[08:56.06]I have to say,I find it difficult to remember everyting,
[09:01.20]but I'm gradually11 getting used to things,and don't find them so strange any more.
[09:07.37]I'll write soon and tell you more about life in France.
[09:12.23]Hope you're having a good school year.
[09:17.19]2 Read about Fan12 Ling's experience in a western restaurant.
[09:32.76]Think about how you would solve her problem and finish Fan Ling's story.
[09:38.93]When I first ate in a western restaurant,I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
[09:45.59]Everything was unfamilliar.I was used to eating with chopsticks and a spoon,
[09:53.03]but I had to eat with a knife,a fork and a spoon.
[09:57.60]And I had,not just one set to use,but two or three of each.
[10:03.85]Questions crowded myu mind.
[10:07.40]Was I supposed to begin with the largest ones or the smallest?
[10:12.55]Was I supposed to start at the outside and work in or the inside and work out?
[10:19.18]Was I supposed to hold the spoon in my left hand or my right hand?
[10:24.93]What I finally decided13 to do was...
[10:30.07]READ Parent helps child
[10:39.14]Westley Moore was a fifteen-year-old American boy.
[10:44.78]Five minutes changed his life.
[10:49.93]Before then,he was just another kid going down a dead-end road.
[10:57.58]His father had died.
[11:01.94]His mother worked three jobs to pay for her three children's education.
[11:09.31]She really wanted them to succeed.Yet Wesley was a bad boy.
[11:17.15]Studying did not interest him.He got into trouble at school and with the police.
[11:25.98]Luckily,his mother never gave up trying to help.
[11:33.13]She bought him books about sports to read.
[11:38.41]Her children's school work had a special place in the home.
[11:44.37]She took the family to music concerts and talks on interesting subjects.
[11:51.42]But Westley still kept slipping14.
[11:56.70]Sometimes he didn't go to school and his mother didn't know where he was.
[12:03.96]So she sent him to a military15 school.
[12:09.31]Students wore army uniforms and lived like soldiers.
[12:15.16]Of course,he didn't like it.He ran away a lot.
[12:21.09]He finally told the school he wanted to leave.
[12:26.45]They let Westley call his mother for five minutes.
[12:32.22]After that the bad boy would never be the same.
[12:38.39]"It was exactly what I needed,"he said.
[12:43.95]"My mother helped me understand the many sacrifices16 she had made for me.
[12:50.93]I realized she was living her life for her children.
[12:56.57]She said that even though my father wasn't there,
[13:02.21]he was looking down at me and wanted to be proud.
[13:07.77]That's when I changed.I wanted to do better."
[13:13.94]Soon Westley became the top student at school
[13:19.90]and later studied at a good university.
[13:24.55]He did so well that he has been invited to study at Oxford17 University,
[13:32.30]one of the cest universities in the world and a very high honor18 for any student.
[13:40.06]Why did he change from a bad boy to an honor student? It wasn't luck.
[13:47.92]His friends and family say this is a story
[13:52.97]of how parents can change young people in trouble.
[13:57.93]They should not give up on their children.
[14:02.29]Instead,parents should try different ways to help them.
[14:08.35]They should let their children know different people and ideas.
[14:14.10]It is important to get children interested in reading19.
[14:19.45]Achild also needs to feel good about himself or herself.
[14:26.22]"There are a lot of things that move a kid in the right or wrong direction.
[14:32.88]Parents who are there for their children are very important,"Westley said.
