culture. I don’t always know exactly how to answer

their questions, but I try my best.

ese friends o en ask, “What is the polite way

to greet an American?” My answer is simple: smile.

Americans also shake hands during introductions,

but not everyone does this. It’s best for me to see

what the other person will do first. If they put out

their hand, then we’ll shake, but for most situations,

it’s enough just to smile and say hello.

My friends also ask, “What do Americans talk

about when they meet new people?” is question is

harder to answer, but you should know someone well

before you talk about certain things. I suggest that

my international friends talk about where they are or

what they are doing. For example, if they meet a new

person at school, talk about school. If they meet a

new person at a party, talk about the party. e other

person might bring up other topics to talk about a er

that.
