but it is not the same in britain, so you shouldnt make a noise when eating there.in britain, people dont put their hands or arms on the table during the meal. but in mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. in fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. in arab countries, it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so dont do it!in all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating. in ukraine you should not start eating first; you should wait for all the others to start eating with you. you also have to say “please” and “thank you” every time you ask for and get something. if you dont like some food, dont make faces and dont say: “yuk! i hate that!” the best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.8it is normal to lift the soup plate to your mouth in .ajapan benglandcukraine dmexico9when you are eating in japan, making a noise means that .ayou feel sick byou enjoy the food cyou dislike the food dyou are starving10which of the following is true according to the text?aits polite to keep your hands on the table in britain.bin arab countries you should eat with your left hand.cspeaking while eating is polite in some cultures.din ukraine, guests had better eat after hosts.11how is the text developed?aby following time order.bby explaining reasons.cby raising examples.dby following space order. dchocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. they describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. now they should bite their tongues!
