Step 3 Reading

1. Read a passage and know more about the different greeting ways mentioned above.

Reading material:

The way that people greet each other differs from one country to another, but all greetings are meant to show friendship and respect. In Japan, whether meeting someone for the first time or seeing an old friend, people usually greet each other with a bow. In Thailand, the custom is to put one‟s hands together at the chest or in front of the face, with the head bowed. In Latin countries, women often greet each other with an embrace, putting their cheeks together while exchanging greetings. In France, the way to greet friends is with a kiss on both cheeks. But possibly the most unusual way to greet a friend is the one used by Eskimos in Alaska—an enthusiastic rubbing of noses! More and more, however, the hand—shake is becoming the most popular greeting around the world. The handshake got its start in the Middle Ages, when all strangers were seen as possible enemies. When two men who didn‟t know each other m et on a road, they immediately pulled out their weapons. When they were satisfied that the other person was not an enemy, they would put their weapons away and hold out their hands in a gesture of friendship. While they were talking, they often maintained the handshake until they were sure they could trust the other person. Variations of the handshake have developed over the years. In European countries, the handshake has become so popular that it is used almost every time people get together—sometimes several times a day with the same person. In Europe, people take each other‟s hands gently and don‟t move them as much as in other parts of the world. In Arabic countries, men usually don‟t release the handshake until many greetings have been exchanged. In the United States, the handshake is used when meeting people for the first time or when greeting people on important occasions. The American handshake is usually a very strong one. Some people even think it‟s too strong.. Also, Americans move their hands up and down more than Europeans do. But whatever greeting is used—a handshake, a bow, or an embrace—we can all recognize and understand a gesture of friendship.

What do Americans/the British/Australians like doing to show respect?

When it comes to the first impression, a proper greeting is of the utmost importance. Before you group together all English-speaking people, remember there are many differences greeting manners between various countries. For example, Americans like a strong handshake that shows respect, as well as a simple greeting, ie. …Hello, nice to meet you‟. Or …Hi, my name is John.‟ On the contrary, the British prefer a brief but firm handshake associated with a formal greeting such as …Good morning, Mr Blair. How are you?‟ Australians also differ with people commonly preferring a simple …G‟ day (Good day) in casual situations. Whether you are introducing yourself to others or seeing an old friend, it is important to use the proper greeting according to the
