exceptional reading!

Sometimes when I am bored I like to flip through my school books. Normally they appear as a general English school book should..but then by off chance I find an extraordinary excerpt..particularly regarding the culture area and well...take a look for yourself.

What's Up ESO 1: Chapter 6 EXPLORERS

Peanut Butter and Jelly!
American soldiers invented this sandwich in World War II. It's a popular teatime snack for children in the U.S.A. (because we have tea-time in america...)

Ingredients (as if the name doesn't already give it away!...drumroll please)
- 2 slices of white bread (even though the picture displays wheat bread...god can't they get anything right?)
- 2 spoonfuls of stawberry jam or jelly
- 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter

and what..no directions! so i just have bread, pp&j and jelly in two spoons...awesome. totally inedible.

WHAT'S UP ESO 2 Chapter 7: Say Please!

When in Britain
Every Culture has different "rules" of behaviour. Here are some tips to help you if you go to Brtain.

1. When you meet someone for the first time, you should shake hands and say How do you do? If you know the person well, you can kiss them on the cheek, but only once not twice. Boys and men don't usually kiss or hug each other.

2. You musn't stand too close to people when you're chatting. If you do, people will move away from you. But don't worry, it's not because you smell!

3. You shouldn't make a lot of noise with your friends in public. People will stare angrily at you. And children musn't scream and run around, especially not in restaurants.

4. The British hide their emotions, so don't cry or laugh loudly in public. If you win the lottery, you would say Oh, that's great! And if your girlfriend or boyfriend leaves you, say Never Mind there are lots more fish in the sea and then go home and cry.

5. The three most important expressions in English are please, thank you and sorry. To be polite you have to use them all the time. And if you don't agree with someone, you musn't say I don't agree - say Yes, that's very interesting.

If you follow these simple rules, you won't have any problems in Britain.

Alright alright...fairly accurate. And while I am American and am not British I think its fair to say ..that not showing emotions in public but rather going home and CRYING...is a little harsh. WAAHHHH
