　　In England,people don't usually talk very much．You can go on a bus or in a train,and everyone sits looking out of the window．Often they read．They read books and newspapers．But they don't talk much．When you meet English people,they often talk one thing-weather．So when you meet someone in England,you can say,“Nice weather for this time of year!”“But it was a little cold yesterday,”someone may answer．“But it got a little warmer later,”you can say．If you talk like this,the English people will think：“How friendly you are!”

　　Living in a foreign culture can be exciting,but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的)．A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences．They agreed that miscommunications were always possible,even over something as simple as“yes”and“no”．

　　On her first day in Micronesia,an island in the Pacific,Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her．The day was hot．She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn't say anything．Lisa repeated the question．Still the woman said nothing．She later learned that the woman had answered her：she had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means“yes”．

　　Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria,a country in Europe．She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage．She asked the waiter,“Do you have cabbage today?”He nodded his head．Jan waited,but the cabbage never came．In that country,a nod means no．

　　Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India．After explaining something in class,he asked his students if they understood．They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head．He thought some people had not understood,so he explained again．When he asked again,they did the same thing．He soon found out that his students did understand．In India,people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from．You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean“yes”or“no”．

　　The first friend gave him the advice that the word “HATTER” wasn't needed．So John crossed out the word “HATTER”．Then he came to another friend for advice．This friend said that it was not polite to say “for Ready Money”．So he crossed out “for Ready Money”．The sign now said：

　　One day a friend was passing his shop．He saw this sign and said that when a man bought a hat,he didn't care who made it．So John crossed out that word,too．

But when another friend saw “John Brown Sells Hats”,he said．“Of course you sell hats．No one thinks you give them away for free．” So,at last the sign read：
