If you go abroad, first you are expected to bring your passport. Second, you should make 1. effort to know some customs. For example, when you greet people in Korea, you should bow. You’d better take off your shoes when you drop 2. someone’s home in Japan. You can’t knock your empty bowl at dinner in China. In France, you can greet people by 3. (kiss). In Washington, D.C., the capital of the USA, you are supposed to value time, especially in their busy season, or your friends may get mad. The table 4. (manner)are different in different countries, too. Once I visited the eastern coast of the USA as an exchange student. Though the host family went out of 5. (they)way to make me feel at home and the granddaughter tried her best to make me feel 6. (relax), I didn’t get 7. (use)to the basic manners there. I was born in a northern city after all. I think everyone behaved well except me. I ate lunch with my two elbows on the table. I didn’t clean 8. the chalk on the blackboard at noon. I still feel nervous these days. So I think a teenage student should get some 9. (suggest)before going abroad. The good manners are worth remembering 10. (gradual).
