Discussion Questions

1. What are some different greeting customs in your country?

2. When should you use a person’s title in the United States?

3. Do family members in the US hug and kiss when they greet each other? What about in your country?

4. How much personal space do people in your country prefer?

W hen you are introduced to someone in the US, often you will be given the name the person wishes to be called. If a person has a title such as doctor, pastor, or professor, it is appropriate to use the title when addressing them. If the person is the same age or

younger, it is all right to address him or her with only the first name. If you are uncertain, you may use Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss. Most of the time, a person will indicate what they would like to be called. When in doubt, just ask the person how you should address them. For the most part, the average American is very informal with their greetings. However, it’s always best to be polite and use a title with a business associate.

If you see good friends and family members giving a hug or kiss to one another, don’t assume that you should, too. A hug and kiss are used with people who know one another well. It is not common to hug or kiss a person when first being introduced.

Personal space is also important in the US. Americans generally stand one arm length from another person. If you invade the personal space of an American, he or she might move to avoid contact.

Unit 2 Family 25


1. How large are most families in your country?

2. How have families changed in your country?

3. What are some reasons that families have or haven’t changed in your country?

4. What kinds of non-traditional families are most common in your country?

American families are different today than they were 100 years ago. The biggest difference is that they are smaller. In the past, most families lived on farms.

They needed lots of children to help with work. Today, most families live in cities, and children do not work. Also, many parents cannot afford a large family. Other parents worry that if they have more than two children, it will increase the world’s population.

Also, the types of families are changing. There are more single parents than ever before. More unmarried couples are having children, and many couples are choosing to have no children at all. Today traditional families–a married couple with children– compose less than 25 percent of all US households.

One reason for this is the greater number of working women. In the past, women depended on their husbands for money. Now many women have jobs. They do not have to be married to get money. Another reason is divorce. This is when the husband and wife decide to end their marriage. About half of all US marriages end in divorce. Finally, many people are not getting married. They choose to live their lives by themselves.

1. Why do you think these celebrations are important for students?

2. Would you be interested in going to a formal school party like a prom?

3. What kind of school celebrations or festivals have you been to?

4. What do students in your country do to celebrate their graduation from high school?

For American high school students, two of the biggest highlights of their student life are graduation and the Senior Prom. These two events mark the last

chance they will have to see their high school friends before beginning work or college. The graduation ceremony takes place at the end of the school year, in May. Graduating students wear a long gown and special cap which are black or display the school’s colors. At the end of the ceremony, the graduates often throw their caps into the air in celebration. Family members also attend the ceremony and throw a party afterward.

The Senior Prom is a large, formal dance which is held every Spring. Students typically go to the prom with friends or invite a date. Many students spend a lot of money on formal clothes for the prom. Boys generally wear a tuxedo or suit, while girls wear dresses. Before going to the dance, friends meet and go to dinner at a restaurant. The prom will usually have music, dancing, and snacks. Some students may go to smaller parties afterward. Together, the prom and graduation ceremony make the last weeks of Spring an exciting time for seniors in American high schools.

1. What are the similarities and differences between American table manners and table manners in your country?

2. Which American manners do you find strangest? Why?

3. How important are good table manners in your country?

4. What advice would you give to a foreigner about using good table manners in your country?

Correct table manners are important in the United States. People will judge you while you eat. If you have bad manners, it might hurt your chances of doing business

or earning favor with someone. Good manners, on the other hand, earn favor and respect and could help close a business deal.

Before eating, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands. When seated at the table, spread your napkin over your lap to protect your clothes from spills. During the meal, it is impolite to eat noisily. Do not smack your lips as you eat. When you drink, do not make slurping noises. If you accidentally burp, say “excuse me.” If you have to sneeze, turn away from the table and sneeze into your napkin, and if you cough, cover your mouth with your hand.

Do not talk with others at the table if your mouth is full of food. Chew your food and swallow it before engaging in conversation. If there is something on the table that you want but cannot reach, ask the person nearest to it. For example, you could say, “Stephen, would you please pass the salt?” If you can’t remember the person’s name, simply make eye contact and say, “Could I have the salt, please?”

1. How many time zones are there in your country?

2. Do you like taking long trips, or do you like travel time to be as short as possible?

3. What do you think is a good way to get over jet lag?

4. How do you think a country’s size can affect its people?

In the United States, traveling often involves great distance and a lot of time. As a result, it can be very tiring. For instance, if you want to travel from New York to San Francisco by car, train, or bus, it might take up to five days. Flying is easier, but you would still be

traveling across four different time zones. If it is noon in New York, it is only eight in the morning in California. The US has six different time zones all together if you include Alaska and Hawaii.

People who travel great distances around the world are used to traveling across different time zones. It can often be a little confusing when your body has to change its rhythm. Some people will experience a short period of strong tiredness after their arrival. This period is called jet lag. If someone in Asia travels to the United States on business, it might take a few days for that person to adjust to the new time zone. While the sun is rising in most of Asia, it is setting in most of North America. When a person has jet lag, they might be used to getting up at the same time everyday, but after arriving in another time zone, their body might be ready for bed in the middle of the afternoon.

It’s also important to remember the time zone difference when doing international business over the phone. If you schedule a morning teleconference with a company halfway around the world, you’ll want to make a note of the time difference beforehand so you don’t miss your appointment.

3. Which places in New York City would you like to visit? Why?

4. If you could visit any city in the world, which one would you choose? What would you like to see there?

New York City is known around the world for many things. People of New York call New York City the capital of the world. There is always something to do or see.

The Statue of Liberty, near the southern tip of Manhattan Island, is a famous symbol not only of New York, but all America. A little farther north is the Empire State Building, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Both of these offer great views of the city skyline.

Times Square, in the middle of downtown, is another great place to visit. It’s best to go at night, with its bright neon lights and oversized televisions that display advertisements of all kinds. A more relaxed part of the city is Central Park. This large park, between the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, offers wide-open spaces of green grass and long paths for a walk or jog away from the traffic and noise of the inner city.

New Yorkers love to visit Broadway, just south of Central Park. This is where many theaters host a variety of musical and stage performances. It’s possible to run into famous people right on the street, as many celebrities have homes in New York City.

3. Do you like traveling, or would you rather stay at home?

4. What types of natural and human-made wonders can be found in your country?

The United States has many wonders that attract tourists from all over the world, including Americans themselves. One of its most famous natural sites is the Grand Canyon. Another is Niagara Falls. The Redwood trees in California are the largest in the world. Some of the

nation’s most beautiful scenery can be seen in national parks. People come to these parks to hike, camp, and watch wildlife.

The United States also has many human-made wonders. The elegant Statue of Liberty, with her torch held high, has always welcomed people to the United States. The Arch in Saint Louis is an amazing structure that stands as tall as it is wide. One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge, is near San Francisco. In South Dakota, the heads of four famous presidents have been carved from stone at Mount Rushmore. The nation’s capital, Washington D.C., has the majestic Lincoln Memorial.

Wherever you go in the United States, there are beautiful things to see. There are deserts, mountains, oceans, and sandy beaches, as well as all kinds of buildings. Whether you like natural wonders or manmade ones, the United States has something for everyone.

In the Midwest, summers are short and mild while winters are long and extremely cold and are also very snowy. Conditions are different in the Pacific Northwest, where temperatures are typically mild in both summer and winter. The weather there can be very cloudy and rainy, though there is not much snow compared to other areas. Going south to California, the weather gets drier and warmer. Days are clear and sunny, but in the evenings, it can become very cool.

The Southwestern states are hot and dry much of the year, though the higher areas are cooler and get significant amounts of snow in the winter. Continuing farther east, weather in the Southern states can also be very hot in the summer, but it is very humid there as well. Winters can be cold, but snow is very rare.

2. Have people’s leisure activities changed in recent years? If so, how?

3. What are some popular recreational activities in your country?

4. What do you like to do in your free time? Compare your choices with those in the reading.

Americans enjoy a wide variety of pastimes. While traditional hobbies are still enjoyed today, new technologies and changing lifestyles are leading Americans to change the

ways they spend their free time.Baseball, basketball, and American football have traditionally

been the most popular sports in the US. They remain extremely popular with people of all ages. In addition, many people exercise regularly. Weightlifting, swimming, and jogging are very common. For some, outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and skiing are a good way to get away from the city. Some sports that were not popular traditionally have become more common in recent years. Soccer, yoga, martial arts, snowboarding, and others have all gained in popularity.

On the weekends, a lot of people enjoy going to concerts, restaurants, or dance clubs. Others would rather relax at home. Going to the movies is not as common as it once was, since people watch movies at home and can even have DVDs delivered by mail. Many people also enjoy video games. Surfing the Internet, communicating with friends, and online gaming are among the most common pastimes for younger people. As a consequence, exercise, reading, and sports have gradually become less popular than they were in preceding generations.

2. Why do parents like their children to play sports?

3. What is a popular sport in your country? Why do you think it is popular?

4. Who are some famous athletes in your country?

Sports have traditionally been very important in American schools. People believe that sports help students develop positive qualities, such as teamwork, persistence, and a competitive spirit. From this perspective, when students are struggling in competition, they are preparing

for hard work later in life. Also, sports help build up students’ loyalty to their schools and each other.

Probably the main high school sport is football. It is common in schools throughout the U.S. Other high school sports include basketball and track-and-field, but football is definitely the most popular. During the school year, there are many football games. These are held with the teams of other schools, so there is usually strong rivalry between them. Both students and teachers go to football games to cheer for their teams. These games foster a sense of community and provide many pleasant memories. Teammates often maintain friendships with each other for life.

The power of sports in American schools is also shown by the respect students have for top players. Often, the best players on a football team are very popular in school. All the students recognize them. Some have criticized this, saying that it gives high school athletes too much attention. However, it does not look like this situation will be changing any time soon.

Unit 11 Health 115


1. Do you think you are healthy? Why or why not?

2. What are some things you could improve about your heath?

3. Is there a difference between being healthy and enjoying life?

4. What do you usually do when you are sick?

A major health problem in the United States is obesity. An obese person is so overweight that it is harmful to his or her health. Some of the effects of obesity include increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even certain kinds of cancer. Reducing obesity is an important

task.Obesity is mainly caused by a poor diet and lack of physical activity. Bad eating habits include

eating too many foods that are high in fat or carbohydrates. This includes most kinds of fast food. Another problem is that many people simply eat too much. This is a particular problem in the US, where portions at restaurants are often much more than a normal person needs.

Lack of exercise also contributes to obesity. Many Americans do not get enough exercise. This includes those who are not obese. Many people say that they do not have enough time or are simply too tired after getting home from work. Whatever the reason, lack of exercise makes a bad diet worse.

In recent years, Americans have become more aware of these problems. Many are trying to live healthier lives. This includes eating better. People who cut down on fast food often find that they lose weight very quickly. People are also realizing that finding time to exercise more increases their energy and reduces stress. Because of these changes, public health officials hope that obesity rates will continue to decline in the future.

1. What are the most popular or desired kinds of jobs in your country?

2. Is personal satisfaction more important than making money? Why or why not?

3. Why do people respect certain kinds of jobs and disrespect others?

4. What kind of job would be most satisfying to you?

What kinds of jobs do Americans find the most satisfying? A study in 2006 by the University of Chicago found some interesting answers. The study asked almost

30,000 people about how happy they were with their work. These people came from diverse backgrounds and had many different kinds of jobs.

People who reported being the happiest had jobs caring for, teaching, or protecting other people. Jobs involving creativity rated very highly as well. Almost 50% of the study participants said they were happy with these kinds of jobs. In fact, the job with the highest reported satisfaction was being a clergy member. This was followed by firefighters, physical therapists, authors, and teachers. Doctors and lawyers did not report similar levels of satisfaction. According to the study, this was because of the high degree of responsibility and stress their jobs entail.

In contrast, the jobs that provided the least satisfaction were service jobs and low-skilled work. First on this list was manual labor, not including construction work. Next was clothing sales and then food packing. Food preparation and serving did not seem to provide much satisfaction either. Caring for others seems to be the key to job satisfaction in the U.S.
