Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving. When we meet someone, everything we say and do expresses our cultural background. So if you want to get on with someone from another culture, it helps to understand something about these differences.Even how we stand depends on our culture. English people talk to each other at an average (平均的) distance of 130 cm, while Italians chat at an average distance of 80 cm. So Italians can think thatEnglish people are unfriendly because they stand too far away! And English people can think that Italians are too close.Touching is also cultural. The French touch much more than Americans. A French couple may touch 100 times in half an hour while an American couple may only touch twice! And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens.
