. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries

others closely and are more

to touch them. Most people around the world now

each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who

to bow.

good

others is bad. (2) All

members of a culture behave in the same way. (3) Learning English well can certainly help avoid difficulties in today’s world of cultural crossroads.
