Why do you say hello?

It is natural for greetings to meet in Europe and America, even if they do not.

The purpose of greeting is not to have further contact with you, but a form of life etiquette.

In fact, no matter who is smiling or greeting people, they will be infected. It is natural to say hello to the sun when they see the mood of the sun getting better.

Therefore, when the western countries travel, if the coming people say hello to us, do not show an inexplicable expression, even ignore it!

That's very rude.

How do you say hello?

The other person tells you that "How do you do?" means "hello". You don't need to teach "Fine, Thank you. And you" according to your textbook. Unless it's your good friend, or if you have more time to chat with him, you'll have to answer the same question as How do.

If you are afraid of your bad English, smile at least.

Sometimes they say "Hello!", which is actually equivalent to our "Hi", which is a coping style between peers or friends. It is not suitable for people who are older or have higher status.

In addition, they will also greet "Good morning", "Good afternoon" or "Good evening", and the same greeting will do.

How do you eat?

Chinese people are more likely to eat when they eat. They may talk about happy places, laugh loudly, or let the children run around the restaurant as their own home, which is quite inappropriate in western countries.

Especially if we eat Western style restaurants instead of Chinese restaurants, we must pay attention to table manners.

Napkins should be laid on the legs, not on the neckline, not to wipe the table or tableware with napkins.

When you use knives and forks, there is no taboo not to speak with a fork, because in foreign countries, putting down the utensils means you have finished eating, and are ready to ask the waiter to collect them.

Of course, if you want to be an exception to your hand, it's not safe to swing with a knife and fork.

Silence is a basic courtesy when enjoying food. It is not polite to drink soup or chew food. The sound of burp is especially annoying. In case of burp sound, you should apologize to your deskmate for saying "Excuse me".

Never mouth your mouth full of food, slow your mouth to eat.

When speaking, you should wait until the food is completely swallowed and then speak. You can't chew and talk.

If you have a fish bone or bone, you should try to pick or remove it first with a knife and fork, then put it in your mouth. It is not appropriate to chew and chew it and then spit it out with your mouth. If you have to, you have to do this.

00 of the basic Western etiquette is always talked about, but in fact, the most basic thing is how to educate their parents.

If we often remind our children to obey the rules of politeness, let children know how to regulate themselves and respect others, and believe that when traveling abroad, they can quickly adapt to different manners.

China is a ceremonial state since ancient times, and Western etiquette has many similarities with our country.

In the current form of frequent international exchanges, it is necessary to learn western etiquette whether it is to host foreign guests or to travel abroad, whether studying abroad or working abroad.
