Question

  Have you heard of the term " etiquette ” ？

And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 1        very useful to understand?

  Etiquette is not the same in every culture 2        in every situation. For example standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However if you do this in Europe some 3       people might feel 4        Even inChina we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine but there are other places where talking loudly is 5        For example most people would agree that talking loudly in a library a museum or a movie theater is 6        Even if you are with your friends it is better to keep you voice 7        in public places. In fact we should also 8        not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.

  If we see someone 9        the rules of etiquette we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 10        ask someone Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example if someone cuts 11        you in a line you could ask them Sorry would you mind 12        the line? If someone is smoking on the bus you could ask Excuse me could you please 13        that cigarette? People don't usually like 14        so we have to be careful how we do this.

  Although rules of etiquette can often be different some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world!For example 15       is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this you can ask them Would you mind picking it up?
