One day a Frenchman went to New York. He didn’t know English at all. When he arrived in New York, he took a bus to his hotel.
It was Sunday. He went out for a walk. As he walked along the street, he suddenly remembered that he didn’t know the name of the street. So he wanted to write it down. He looked at the wall near the corner of the street. He saw some English words and wrote them down in his notebook.
“Now I know the name of the street,” he said to himself. “It will be easy for me to get back to the hotel.”
He walked for a long time in the city. He felt tired and wanted to go back. He took the notebook out of his pocket and showed the words to a young woman. She read the words in his notebook and looked at the Frenchman. She didn’t know what he wanted.
The Frenchman stopped an old man and showed him the words. He didn’t know what the Frenchman wanted, either.

In the UK, in the business situations, when you meet someone for the first time you shake hands and say, “How do you do?” This is not really a question, and reply to it is another greeting such as “How do you do?” or “Hello” or “I’m very pleased to meet you” or, if you have met the person sometime before, "It’s good to see you again".
You don’t shake hands every time you meet someone, you just greet them. If you are invited to someone’s house for dinner, it is usual to take a present – some chocolates or flowers or, if you know them quite well, a bottle of wine. If you do not know the host well, don’t be the last person to leave. Telephone the next day to thank the host for the meal. English people don’t like to talk about personal things, and tend to avoid religion, politics and money.
Good topics for small talk(闲谈) are the weather, holidays, weekend activities, gardens and architecture(建筑物), especially houses and homes. When you go to a pub or bar, it’s usual to take turns to buy a drink for everyone in your group and pay for the drinks when you get them from the bar and before you drink them.
