Here are some greeting customs (打招呼习俗) in different cultures.
French people greet each other with a handshake, but close friends kiss each other on both cheeks (脸颊) when they first meet and before they leave each other. In South Korea, it is better for people to bow when greeting each other. A bow is followed by a handshake. While shaking someone's hand, it is polite to support the right forearm (前臂) with the left hand. Kissing on the cheek is a common way of greeting in Brazil. But in a formal situation, people often shake hands. Men should shake hands before and after meeting each other, and if they become friends with each other, a light hug is often given. In a social situation, it's polite to greet everyone in the room in Ghana. A handshake is used in greeting, and the palm (手掌) must directly touch the palm of others'. People think it's impolite to touch the back of the hand.

Skate boarding, surfing and sport climbing were parts of the 2024 Paris Olympics. But they made their first Olympic appearance at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. These are all popular sports among young people. Would you like to give them a try?
Skateboarding | In this sport, you ride on a skateboard and perform tricks. Some people skate on or over obstacles (障碍) such as stairs and rails. It's a sport that celebrates creativity and individuality (个 性) . There are about 11 million active skateboarders in the world. |
Surfing | Isn't it cool to ride breaking waves? Surfing is a free-spirited sport that allows you to"walk on water" with a surfboard. Surfers have their own language. "Surf's up!" means the surf is high enough to ride. "Wipeout!" means to fall off your board. |
Sport Climbing | Athletes have to climb a 15-meter-high wall. There are holds on the walls, but some of them are just big enough for a single fingertip. Climbing needs great strength, requiring the use of different muscles. Athletes can't see the wall before they compete. They must make quick decisions about which way they should take to reach the top. |
