ACTIVITY 1: Read the short paragraph below, then answer the questions that follow
Every country has its own customs and polite behavior. For the Korean, politeness
and manners are very important Many of the attitudes about politeness are similar
to American ones. However, there are a few differences. One of the biggest differences
is that Koreans help and show respect to the elderly. This means they don't begin
eating before the older person, they don't smoke in front of someone older, and they give
up their seats to the elderly. For example, if an elderly gets on the bus, immediately
young people offer their seats. Also, Koreans try to think of all people as part of the
family. That's why Koreans call complete strangers 'uncle' or 'aunt'.
