Work in pairs. Answer the following questions. 1. Do Vietnamese people often use their first name or last name when addressing someone both formally and informally? 2. When do Americans and Europeans address someone with a title and the last name – in a formal or informal situation? Give examples. Reading Text Read the text and do the tasks that follow.Socializing and Codes of EtiquetteEvery country has its own codes of etiquette. For example, it is common for people in the United States and in Britain to use first names quickly, even in a letter or a fax. Such instant familiarity is much less acceptable in the rest of Europe and Asia, where even business partners and colleagues of many years’ acquaintance address each other by the equivalent of Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss with the last name. Therefore, when addressing a European, we should stick to the last name unless he/she suggests that we use his / her first name. Also, we should not interpret the other person’s formality as stiffness or unfriendliness. On the other hand, if apartner with a North American or British background uses our first names right away, we shouldn’t be surprised.In many Western countries, including the United States, a person who does not maintain good eye contact is regarded as being a slightly suspicious, or dishonest person. Americans tend to associate people who avoid eye23 contact as unfriendly, insecure, untrustworthy, and inattentive. In contrast, the Japanese lower their eyes when they speak to a superior to show a gesture of respect. In Latin America as well as in some African cultures, people have longer looking time, but prolonged eye contact from an individual of lower status is considered disrespectful. In the United States, it is considered rude to stare, regardless of who is looking at whom. In contrast, the polite Englishman is taught to pay strict attention to a speaker, to listen carefully, and to blink his eyes to let the speaker know he or she has been understood as well as heard. A widening of the eyes can be interpreted differently, depending on circumstances and cultures. Regardless of the language being used, an American may interpret a Chinese person’s widened eyes as an expression of astonishment instead ofits true meaning – politely expressing anger.

In addition, young people always showed respect for their ancestors and for elderly people. People were also willing to give a hand when someone was in need. Members of the family helped one another with household chores as well as with farm work. While men were working in the fields, women were doing the household chores.
