CULTURAL READING

Greetings and Introductions

Track 16

hen you are introduced to someone in the US, often you will be given the name the
person wishes to be called. If a person has a title such as doctor, pastor, or professor,
it is appropriate to use the title when addressing them. If the person is the same age or
younger, it is all right to address him or her with only the first name. If you are uncertain, you may
use Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss. Most of the time, a person will indicate what they would like to be
called. When in doubt, just ask the person how you should address them. For the most part, the
average American is very informal with their greetings. However, its always best to be polite and
use a title with a business associate.
If you see good friends and family members giving a hug or kiss to one another, dont assume
that you should, too. A hug and kiss are used with people who know one another
well. It is not common to hug or kiss a person when first being introduced.
Personal space is also
important in the US. Americans
generally stand one arm
length from another person.
If you invade the personal
space of an American, he
or she might move to
avoid contact.

Discussion Questions
1. What are some different greeting customs in your country?
2. When should you use a persons title in the United States?
3. Do family members in the US hug and kiss when they greet each other?
What about in your country?
4. How much personal space do people in your country prefer?

merican families are different today than they were


100 years ago. The biggest difference is that they are
smaller. In the past, most families lived on farms.
They needed lots of children to help with work. Today,
most families live in cities, and children do not work. Also,
many parents cannot afford a large family. Other parents
worry that if they have more than two children, it will
increase the worlds population.
Also, the types of families are changing. There are
more single parents than ever before. More unmarried
couples are having children, and many couples are
choosing to have no children at all. Today traditional
familiesa married couple with children compose less
than 25 percent of all US households.
One reason for this is the greater number of working
women. In the past, women depended on their husbands
for money. Now many women have jobs. They do not
have to be married to get money. Another reason is divorce.
This is when the husband and wife decide to end their marriage.
About half of all US marriages end in divorce. Finally, many
people are not getting married. They choose to live their lives
by themselves.

Discussion Questions
1. How large are most families in your country?
2. How have families changed in your country?
3. What are some reasons that families have or havent changed in your country?
4. What kinds of non-traditional families are most common in your country?

or American high school students, two of the biggest


highlights of their student life are graduation and
the Senior Prom. These two events mark the last
chance they will have to see their high school friends
before beginning work or college. The graduation ceremony
takes place at the end of the school year, in May.
Graduating students wear a long gown and special cap
which are black or display the schools colors. At the end
of the ceremony, the graduates often throw their caps
into the air in celebration. Family members also attend
the ceremony and throw a party afterward.
The Senior Prom is a large, formal dance which is
held every Spring. Students typically go to the prom with
friends or invite a date. Many students spend a lot of
money on formal clothes for the prom. Boys generally
wear a tuxedo or suit, while girls wear dresses. Before
going to the dance, friends meet and go to dinner at a
restaurant. The prom will usually have music, dancing,
and snacks. Some students may go to smaller parties
afterward. Together, the prom and graduation ceremony
make the last weeks of Spring an exciting time for
seniors in American high schools.

Discussion Questions
1. Why do you think these celebrations are important for students?
2. Would you be interested in going to a formal school party like a prom?
3. What kind of school celebrations or festivals have you been to?
4. What do students in your country do to celebrate their graduation from high school?

Table Manners

orrect table manners are important in the United States.


People will judge you while you eat. If you have bad
manners, it might hurt your chances of doing business
or earning favor with someone. Good manners, on the other
hand, earn favor and respect and could help close a business
deal.
Before eating, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands. When seated
at the table, spread your napkin over your lap to protect your clothes from
spills. During the meal, it is impolite to eat noisily. Do not smack your lips as you
eat. When you drink, do not make slurping noises. If you accidentally burp, say
excuse me. If you have to sneeze, turn away from the table and sneeze into your napkin,
and if you cough, cover your mouth with your hand.
Do not talk with others at the table if your mouth is full of food. Chew your food
and swallow it before engaging in conversation. If there is something on the table
that you want but cannot reach, ask the person nearest to it. For example, you
could say, Stephen, would you please
pass the salt? If you cant remember the
persons name, simply make eye contact and
say, Could I have the salt, please?

Discussion Questions
1. What are the similarities and differences between American table manners and table manners in
your country?
2. Which American manners do you find strangest? Why?
3. How important are good table manners in your country?
4. What advice would you give to a foreigner about using good table manners in your country?

n the United States, traveling often involves great distance and a lot of time. As a result, it can
be very tiring. For instance, if you want to travel from New York to San Francisco by car, train,
or bus, it might take up to five days. Flying is easier, but you would still be
traveling across four different time zones. If it is noon in New York, it is only
eight in the morning in California. The US has six different time zones all
together if you include Alaska and Hawaii.
People who travel great distances around the world are used to traveling
across different time zones. It can often be a little confusing when your
body has to change its rhythm. Some people will experience a short period
of strong tiredness after their arrival. This period is called jet lag. If someone
in Asia travels to the United States on business, it might take a few days for
that person to adjust to the new time zone. While the sun is rising in most of
Asia, it is setting in most of North America. When a person has jet lag,
they might be used to getting up at the same time everyday,
but after arriving in another time zone, their
body might be ready for bed in the middle of
the afternoon.
Its also important to remember the time
zone difference when doing international
business over the phone. If you schedule a
morning teleconference with a company
halfway around the world, youll want to
make a note of the time difference beforehand
so you dont miss your appointment.

Discussion Questions
1. How many time zones are there in your country?
2. Do you like taking long trips, or do you like travel time
to be as short as possible?
3. What do you think is a good way to get over jet lag?
4. How do you think a countrys size can affect its people?

CULTURAL READING

New York

Track 96

ew York City is known around the world for many things. People of New York call New
York City the capital of the world. There is always something to do or see.
The Statue of Liberty, near the southern tip of Manhattan Island, is a famous symbol
not only of New York, but all America. A little farther north is the Empire State Building, at the
intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Both of these offer great views of the city skyline.
Times Square, in the middle of downtown, is another great place to visit. Its best to go at
night, with its bright neon lights and oversized televisions that display advertisements of all kinds.
A more relaxed part of the city is Central Park. This large park, between the Upper East Side and
Upper West Side, offers wide-open spaces of green grass and long paths for a walk or jog away
from the traffic and noise of the inner city.
New Yorkers love to visit Broadway, just south of Central Park. This is where many theaters
host a variety of musical and stage performances. Its possible to run into famous people right on
the street, as many celebrities have homes
in New York City.

Discussion Questions
1. What are some famous places in your city?
2. Where are these places located?
Could you tell someone how to get to them?
3. Which places in New York City would you like to visit? Why?
4. If you could visit any city in the world, which one would you choose?
What would you like to see there?

eather in the United States is very diverse. It


is possible to find almost every kind of
weather across the country, and each region
is known for particular conditions.
The Northeast region has four distinct seasons,
with cold, snowy winters and hot summers. It is clear
and mild in fall, but clouds and rain are common in
spring. In the Midwest, summers are short and mild
while winters are long and extremely cold and are also
very snowy. Conditions are different in the Pacific
Northwest, where temperatures are typically mild in
both summer and winter. The weather there can be very
cloudy and rainy, though there is not much snow compared
to other areas. Going south to California, the weather
gets drier and warmer. Days are clear and sunny, but in
the evenings, it can become very cool.
The Southwestern states are hot and dry much of
the year, though the higher areas are cooler and get
significant amounts of snow in the winter. Continuing
farther east, weather in the Southern states can also be
very hot in the summer, but it is very humid there as
well. Winters can be cold, but snow is very rare.

Discussion Questions
1. In your opinion, which part of the United States has the best weather?
2. What is the weather like in your country?
3. In some places weather is seasonal while in others it doesnt change much over the course of a
year. Which sounds better to you? Why?
4. How do you think the weather affects people?

mericans enjoy a wide variety of pastimes. While traditional


hobbies are still enjoyed today, new technologies and
changing lifestyles are leading Americans to change the
ways they spend their free time.
Baseball, basketball, and American football have traditionally
been the most popular sports in the US. They remain extremely
popular with people of all ages. In addition, many people exercise
regularly. Weightlifting, swimming, and jogging are very
common. For some, outdoor activities like hiking, camping,
and skiing are a good way to get away from the city.
Some sports that were not popular traditionally have
become more common in recent years. Soccer, yoga, martial
arts, snowboarding, and others have all gained in
popularity.
On the weekends, a lot of people enjoy going to
concerts, restaurants, or dance clubs. Others would
rather relax at home. Going to the movies is not as
common as it once was, since people watch movies at
home and can even have DVDs delivered by mail. Many
people also enjoy video games. Surfing the Internet,
communicating with friends, and online gaming are
among the most common pastimes for younger people.
As a consequence, exercise, reading, and sports have
gradually become less popular than they were in
preceding generations.

Discussion Questions
1. What kinds of sports are popular in your country?
2. Have peoples leisure activities changed in recent years? If so, how?
3. What are some popular recreational activities in your country?

spirit. From this perspective, when students are struggling in competition, they are preparing
for hard work later in life. Also, sports help build up students loyalty to their schools and each
other.
Probably the main high school sport is football. It is common in schools
throughout the U.S. Other high school sports include basketball and track-andfield, but football is definitely the most popular. During the school year, there are
many football games. These are held with the teams of other schools, so there is
usually strong rivalry between them. Both students and teachers go to football
games to cheer for their teams. These games foster a sense of community and
provide many pleasant memories. Teammates often maintain friendships
with each other for life.
The power of sports in American schools is also shown by the
respect students have for top players. Often, the best players on a
football team are very popular in school. All the students
recognize them. Some have criticized this, saying that it
gives high school athletes too much attention. However, it
does not look like this situation will be changing any time
soon.

Discussion Questions
1. Do you think sports help build positive qualities
in students? Why or why not?
2. Why do parents like their children to play sports?
3. What is a popular sport in your country?
Why do you think it is popular?

CULTURAL READING

Health

Track 176

major health problem in the United States is obesity. An obese person is so overweight that
it is harmful to his or her health. Some of the effects of obesity include increased risk of
heart disease, diabetes, and even certain kinds of cancer. Reducing obesity is an important

task.

10

15

20

Obesity is mainly caused by a poor diet and lack of physical activity. Bad eating habits include
eating too many foods that are high in fat or carbohydrates. This includes most kinds of fast food.
Another problem is that many people simply eat too much. This is a particular problem in the US,
where portions at restaurants are often much more than a normal person needs.
Lack of exercise also contributes to obesity. Many Americans do not get enough exercise. This
includes those who are not obese. Many people say that they do not have enough time or are simply
too tired after getting home from work. Whatever the reason, lack of
exercise makes a bad diet worse.
In recent years, Americans have become more aware of
these problems. Many are trying to live healthier lives. This
includes eating better. People who cut down on fast food
often find that they lose weight very quickly.
People are also realizing that finding time
to exercise more increases their energy
and reduces stress. Because of these
changes, public health officials hope
that obesity rates will continue to
decline in the future.

hat kinds of jobs do Americans find the most satisfying?


A study in 2006 by the University of Chicago found
some interesting answers. The study asked almost
30,000 people about how happy they were with their work.
These people came from diverse backgrounds and had many
different kinds of jobs.
People who reported being the happiest had jobs caring for,
teaching, or protecting other people. Jobs involving creativity
rated very highly as well. Almost 50% of the study participants said
they were happy with these kinds of jobs. In fact, the job with the
highest reported satisfaction was being a clergy member. This
was followed by firefighters, physical therapists, authors,
and teachers. Doctors and lawyers did not report
similar levels of satisfaction. According to the study,
this was because of the high degree of responsibility
and stress their jobs entail.
In contrast, the jobs that provided the least
satisfaction were service jobs and low-skilled work.
First on this list was manual labor, not including
construction work. Next was clothing sales and
then food packing. Food preparation and serving did not
seem to provide much satisfaction either. Caring for others seems to
be the key to job satisfaction in the U.S.

Discussion Questions
1. What are the most popular or desired kinds of jobs in your country?
2. Is personal satisfaction more important than making money? Why or why not?
3. Why do people respect certain kinds of jobs and disrespect others?
4. What kind of job would be most satisfying to you?
