U10 A 2d you are supposed to shake hands

Role play the conversation.

How was the welcome party for foreign students last night?

Great! I made some new friends. But a funny thing happened.

What?

I met a Japanese boy called Sato, and as soon as I held out my hand, he bowed.

That's how people in Japan are expected to greet each other. It's impolite if you don't bow.

I didn't know that. So I just stood there with my hand out. Finally, I returned the bow.

I remember when l first met Marie last year, I did the same thing. I held out my hand and to my surprise, she kissed me on both sides of my face!

I wouldn't mind that!

Very funny. Later l found out  French people are supposed to kiss when they see each other.
