四川省甘孜州2019-2020学年七年级下学期英语期末质量监测试卷
Dear Linda,
How are things with you? My sister Helen and I are on vacation now.
We started in the UK. We spent two days in London and another day in Edinburgh. We had a great time. The only bad thing was the weather — it never stopped raining.
Then we took the train to Paris. It was sunny there. We stayed there for three days. My sister really wanted to visit Disneyland Paris, so we went there on the first day. Well, I have to say it was no fun. But we met some nice people from Beijing and spent two great days with them. One of them, Clive, will go to your university (大学) next year.
Then we went to Munich by plane. I bought you a gift there. I hope you'll like it.
After that, we went to Zurich. It was very expensive and we couldn't stay long, so that's why we're in Rome now! Rome is the last stop. We'll come back in four days.
See you then.
Yours,
Mike
How to build good relationships with people from other cultures? Actually, it is important to learn some communication skill. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Learn about the culture in advance. A little knowledge can go a long way. So if you have time before going abroad or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic "do's and don'ts" of that culture. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's very convenient.
Be respectful and tolerant. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Signs of these may appear when you communicate with people from other cultures. However, it is not the time to judge people based on these differences during basic communication. Instead, respect them for what they are, and tolerate them.
Speak clearly and slowly. But do not shout at others even if they don't understand you. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Instead, it can be seen as a rude behavior. What's more, even if there are difficulties in communicating with people from other cultures, do not treat other people as though they are stupid.

Different countries have different greeting customs(习俗). Now let's read this article to know more about the greeting customs in different cultures.
France French people greet each other with a handshake, but close friends kiss each other on both cheeks(面颊) when they meet. They do this when meeting and before leaving. |
Korea In Korea, it is a sign of respect for people to bow when greeting each other. In Korea, a bow is followed by a handshake. However, Korean women do not shake hands with Western men. Instead, they bow slightly (稍微). |
