Listening to the world6 Discuss the questions.ListeningAfter you listen2 How do you comment on the saying “Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise ? Though it may be true that “early to bed, and early to rise helps you to stay physically healthy and mentally active, its really hard to say that it can also make you wealthy. Actually, many people who are able to make big money often have to work till late at night. Besides, its almost impossible for us young people to follow an “early to bed, and early to rise schedule since we have lots of schoolwork to do every day. Even if we are free sometimes, we will not go to bed early but try to have some kind of entertainment together with friends or classmates. Listening to the world6 Discuss the questions.ListeningAfter you listen3 What advice would you give to people in order for them to get a good nights sleep? To help people get a good nights sleep, I will advise them to try the following tips: First, keep a regular sleep schedule. Second, make the bedroom sleep-friendly. Keep noise down, keep the room cool, and make sure the bed is comfortable. Third, try relaxing bedtime rituals. Fourth, eat and drink properly. Stay away from big meals at night. Try warm milk and whole wheat bread, avoid caffeine, and avoid drinking too much liquid in the evening.

You can start by asking yourself: Where is the person from? What do I know about his culture? If you really know nothing, you can watch other people and see how they greet the person. Sometimes, you can simply follow your host the person whose home you are in or who organizes the event. But if you do make a mistake, there is no need to worry. The most important thing is your friendly attitude! Listening to the worldViewing5 Discuss the questions.AFTER you view2 Is there any body language which would be importantfor a visitor to your country to know?Yes. For example, in Chinese culture, when we greet someone especially a stranger, we traditionally will only shake hands with him / her. We dont kiss the person on the cheek(s) or hand(s) or forehead. It is important for people from other cultures to know this, so that they wont have the wrong feeling that we arent hospitable enough to them.
