Ράπτη Χαρίκλεια
DOs
1. DO STAND IN LINE
British people like forming queues and waiting patiently for their turn. “Line jumping” isn’t a good habit.
2. DO SAY “EXCUSE ME, PLEASE,THANK YOU”
3. DO SAY “I’M SORRY”
• British people really appreciate good manners. Saying “I’m sorry, thank you, excuse me” shows that you’re a polite person.
4. COVER YOUR MOUTH
When coughing or yawning always cover your mouth with your hand.
5. SHAKE HANDS
• When you are first introduced with someone, shake their right hand with your own right hand.
6. SMILE
• A smiling face is a welcoming face.
7. OPEN DOORS FOR OTHER PEOPLE
• Men and women both hold open doors for each other. The first who goes through the door holds the door open for the other person.
8. ALWAYS USE A KNIFE AND A FORK WHEN YOU EAT.
• Good table manners are highly respected in the United Kingdom. Even young children are taught to use a knife and a fork from an early age.
