We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in
different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways
of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in
Britain you mustn"t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad
manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn"t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It
shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In
Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic
countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn"t eat with your left
hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well,
you needn"t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and
try to do what they do.

There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one in Christmas. Each year, the summer
holidays at every hign school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which
covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday,most foreigu students in Australia love to fly back to
their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in
Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a parttime job at Christmas.
Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine.
The summer in Australia is from December to February,so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.
Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines "Good Friday"and "Easter Monday". Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
The Chinese new year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to
school to study and do his or her normal duties.
