Good evening ! Welcome
you to the seminar
today.This seminar is one
part of the USA student exchange program.I’m going to talk about some special American customs
which most of you may find quiet strange and difficult to learn.Americans think it is a good manner
to be on time for an appointment.They appreciate the punctuality so that you shouldn’t be late for
appointments.

Americans have a saying:” Time is money “ Time has great value to Americans and you may be
considered very rude if you don’t arrive at the right time.Secondly, Americans are quite
independent, they prefer being free and hate being disturbed by other people. They like to have
personal space and privacy.When speaking to them,don’t stand too close to them or put arms around
their shoulder, shaking hands are more suitable. You can discuss with them some current events, but
you’d better avoid the topics which are causing a lot of angry public discussion.If you met
somebody for the first time, personal values,religion, money and politics are some topics you
shouldn’t talk about.Another American custom I admire most is that they wait for their turns in the
queues while queue-jumping is very popular in our country.When standing in lines, they wait
patiently and do not push the other people.The image of people queuing in front of the shops is very
common in America. In conclusion, it is necessary for you to know American custom to avoid
culture shock when staying and learning in the US.
