1. A bow
Around the world, there are many different ways to greet people. Bowing is the traditional way of greeting in Northeast Asian countries like Korea and Japan. This picture, for example, shows how Japanese women bow. In Japan, when you bow, you don't look directly at the other person's eyes. But in Korea, it's important to see the other person's face when you bow. In both countries, people bow to show respect.

• The word "holiday" comes from the words "holy" and "day". Originally holidays were holy or religious days. Nowadays holidays include national, seasonal and historical days of celebration. Here are some traditional holidays in some countries. February 14 is Valentine's Day. It is observed in some European and North American countries. People send cars or gifts expressing love and affection sometimes anonymously to their sweethearts or friends. Feast of Dolls in Japan falls on March 2. It is observed there in honor of girls. Feast of Banners in Japan is on May 5. It is observed in honor of boys. May 5 is Dragon Boat Festival in China and is held according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. People eat rice cakes(粽子) and hold dragon boat races to commemorate the ancient scholar ---- statesman Qu Yuan. August 15 is Mid-Autumn Festival in China. It is held according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. People eat moon cakes while looking at the bright full moon.

4. Japan •Woman: May I help you? •Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them. •Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.
•Man: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... And
bigger sets with four pens. •Woman: Don't give a set of four pens ---- in fact, don't give four of anything. It's bad luck. The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word for "death". •Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set. •Woman: Good choice. These sets make very good gifts. After all, pens write in any language.
What should you bring? •Woman: I don't know. Maybe something for the house.
