2a,2b
Dan: Hi, Maria. How was Paul's party?
Maria: Oh, Dan, it was a disaster.
Dan: It was?
Maria: Uh-huh.
Dan: What happened?
Maria: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 7:00, but I arrived at 8:00.
Dan: Oh, so you were late.
Maria: Yeah, but in my country, it's different. When you're invited for 7:00, you're supposed to
come later!
Dan: I see.
Maria: Then when I met Paul's mom, I kissed her. Dan: And you were supposed to shake hands
instead. Maria: That's right. AND I wore a fancy dress.
Dan: What's wrong with that?
Maria: Well, it was a barbecue, Dan. Everyone else was wearing a T-shirt and jeans.
Dan: I guess you should have asked what you were supposed to wear.
Section B, 2a, 2b
Satoshi: You must be really excited about leaving for Japan tomorrow, Steve!
Steve: Yeah, I am. But I'm a little nervous, too.
Satoshi: Nervous about what?
Steve: Well, for one thing, I don't know how to use chopsticks very well. . . and I don't know
how to behave at the dinner table.
Satoshi: Oh, I see. I could give you a little lesson on Japanese table manners if you'd like. Steve: Really? That would be great!
Satoshi: Hmmmm. Let me see. One difference is that sometimes it's polite to make noise when
you're eating, especially when you're eating noodles. It shows that you like the food.
Steve: Really? That's interesting. In the United States you're not supposed to do that.
Satoshi: Yeah, I know. OK, so here are some chopstick rules: it's rude to stick your chopsticks into
your food. And you shouldn't point at anyone with your chopsticks.
Steve: Oh, OK. I won't.
Satoshi: And also, this isn't about table manners exactly, but you should know that it's rude to eat
or drink while walking down the street.
Steve: Huh.
Satoshi: Oh, and the most important thing you need to know is that you're not supposed to talk
when you're eating dinner. Only parents are allowed to talk at the dinner table. Children are not allowed to speak.
Steve: Wow! That's ... that's unusual!
Satoshi: I'm just kidding! Steve!
