  Students often want to practise their English outside class.One of the best ways of practising English is to speak to foreigners.Most of the students ask,"Is it OK to talk to foreigners when we meet them in the street?"

  The answer is yes or no,but probably no!If you see a foreigner who looks lost,it is polite to ask him or her,"May I help you?"But if not,you should probably let him or her get on with the business.That is,you can talk to a foreigner at some time or some place.Feel free to ask him or her questions if a foreigner comes into your school,classroom or your teachers' office.

  It's also OK to talk to foreigners in some public places.If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant,a waiting room,it may be the right time for you to ask him or her,"Is this seat free?"or some questions like his.You can probably help them if they are new to China.And if they are alone,you may be able to make them feel more welcome.

  It's a pleasure to talk to a foreigner if you choose the fight time and place.

Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.

When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say “Goodbye”. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.

Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible. So they put their hands in front and get ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.
