Part 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow by circling A, B, C or
D to indicate your answers:
In the United States , it is important to be on time, on punctual, for an appointment , a class , a
meeting,etc. This may not be true in some other countries, however. An American professor discovered this

difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10
a.m., and end at 12 a.m.. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time , noone was in the classroom.
Many students came after 10 a.m. . Serveral arrived after 10:30 a.m. . Two students came after 11 a.m. .
Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived , few apologized for their lateness. Were
these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behaviour. (...........)
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour,. In contrast, in
Brazzil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at
the scheduled in the United States, but they also end at the scheduled time. Inthe Brazilian class, only a few
students left the class at noon: many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While
arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.
The explanation for these differences is complicated . People from Brazilian and North American
cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person usually arrives
late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time.In fact, Brazilians expect a person
with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States, lateness is usually considered to be
disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North
American , the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.
