Daisy：Oh, so you were late.
Maria：Yeah, but in my country, it's different. When you're invited for 7:00, you're expected to come later! It's considered strange to turn up on time.

Read the follwing opinions of a Colombian and a Swiss student. In which country is it OK to be 15 minutes late for dinner? Read the follwing opinions of a Colombian and a Swiss student. In which country is it OK to be 15 minutes late for dinner? 阅读一位哥伦比亚学生和一位瑞士学生的以下观点。哪个国家的晚餐可以迟到15分钟？ 短文 Teresa Lopez
Cali, Colombia
Where I'm from, we're pretty relaxed about time. We don't like to rush around, so we don't mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner, it's OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop by our friends' homes if we have time. We don't usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it's polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

Marc LeBlanc
Lausanne, Switzerland
In Switzerland, it's very important to be on time. We're the capital of clock and watches, after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you're expected to be there at noon. If you're even 15 minutes late, your friend may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it's impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend's house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together. Teresa Lopez
卡利，哥伦比亚
在我的家乡，我们对时间很放松。 我们不喜欢到处奔波，所以我们不介意别人有时迟到一点。 如果你告诉朋友你要去他们家吃晚饭，迟到一点也没关系。 我们喜欢慢慢享受我们的时间。 在日常生活中，我们珍惜与家人和朋友共度的时光。 如果我们有时间，我们经常去朋友家看看。 我们通常不需要为见朋友做计划。 当我们看到彼此时，男孩握手，女孩亲吻对方的脸是礼貌的。 我们经常在市中心散步，尽可能多地见到我们的朋友！

Marc LeBlanc
洛桑，瑞士
在瑞士，准时是非常重要的。 毕竟，我们是钟表之都！ 如果有人邀请你在中午见他或她，那么你就应该在中午到达那里。 如果你迟到了15分钟，你的朋友可能会生气。 所以当我遇到我的朋友时，我努力准时。 为了避免交通拥挤，我总是早早出门，因为我认为让别人等是不礼貌的。 此外，我们从来不会不事先打电话就去朋友家。 我们几乎总是计划去见朋友。 我们通常计划做一些有趣的事情，或者一起去某个地方。

 短文 Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I'm having a great time on my student exchange program in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. The grandmother knows that I miss Chinese food a lot. So she actually learned how to make Chinese food! She also has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is really kind. She always talks to me in French to help me practice. You wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved because of that. I'm very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn't worry me as it used to.

My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You're supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I'm used to it. Another example is that you're not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is impolite to say you're full. If you don't want any more food, you should just say, "That was delicious." Also, you're not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I'm gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so strange anymore.

I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope you're having a good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue 亲爱的劳拉，
谢谢你的留言。 是的，我在法国的交换生项目中过得很愉快。 我来这里之前有点紧张，但没有必要。 我的寄宿家庭非常好。 他们想尽办法让我有宾至如归的感觉。 奶奶知道我很想念中国菜。 所以她真的学会了如何做中国菜！ 她还有一个十几岁的孙女，和我差不多大，非常善良。 她总是用法语和我说话来帮助我练习。 你不会相信我的法语进步得有多快。 我现在说法语很自在。 虽然我仍然会犯很多错误，但我不像以前那样担心了。

我最大的挑战是学习如何在餐桌上表现。 你可以想象，这里的情况与他们在国内的情况大不相同。 例如，你不应该把面包放在盘子里。 你应该把它放在桌子上！ 一开始我觉得很奇怪，但现在我习惯了。 另一个例子是，除了面包，你不应该用手吃任何东西，甚至包括水果。 你必须把它切开，然后用叉子吃。 另外，说你吃饱了是不礼貌的。 如果你不想再吃了，你应该说：“That was delicious。” 还有，你不应该把胳膊肘放在桌子上。 我不得不说，我发现很难记住所有的东西，但我逐渐习惯了。 我不再觉得法国的习俗那么奇怪了。

我很快会再写信告诉你更多关于我在法国的生活。希望你这一学年过得愉快。

Notes on the Text

1. I held out my hand and to my surprise, she kissed me on both sides of my face! 我伸出手来（想要握手），可令我吃惊的是，她居然亲吻了我的双颊！
 kiss 为 “亲吻” 之意，既可作动词，也可作名词。作动词使用时，后面可接某人作宾语，若需进一步说出所亲吻的部位时，再用介词 on 引入，即形成 kiss somebody on … 结构，本句便是如此。

再如：

Will you kiss him? 你会吻他吗？
She kissed the child on the forehead. 她吻了孩子的额头。
