14、 world that can be confusing in many ways. They need to learn to live in a different environment. Some laws and rules are written down. They can learn about them before they arrive. But there are lots of “unwritten rules,“ too. Unwritten rules are behaviors that no one talks about, but that most peo
15、ple understand.Here is a list of five important issues any new arrival to the U.S. should know about.Be “on time.“ In some cultures, time is not a big issue. If you tell your friend to meet you at 2 p.m. and you arrive at 2:45 p.m., there is no problem. In the U.S., people feel that being on time is
16、 a sign of respect. If you are late by more than a few minutes, people will think you do not care. They will feel you are wasting their time. They will take your lateness as an insult.Be sure you always “tip.“ In many countries, after you eat at a restaurant, you only pay the amount shown on the bil
17、l. But, in the U.S., people who work in restaurants and bars often earn a low hourly wage. So, they try to provide excellent service, hoping the customer will give them a “tip,“ meaning a little extra. People in the U.S. tip between 15 percent and 20 percent of the bill. You also give tips to taxi d
18、rivers, hotel employees and the people who cut your hair.Be careful what you say. Any place you go there will be some things that are proper to talk about and some things that are not. Supposing that people have the same beliefs as you is a bad idea. In the past decade, people in the U.S. have becom
19、e more open about discussing strong political and religious views. But it is still best to listen to people share their opinions first and then decide about sharing your own. Also, there are several topics you should avoid asking questions about: how much money a person makes and if they are married
20、. But if a person offers this information, then there is no problem.Be polite for the situation. People in the U.S. define being polite in very special ways. For example, waiting in line involves a strong set of rules in this country. You must wait until the people in front of you have done what the
21、y are waiting to do. When going through a door, the person behind you expects you to hold the door for them. Also, it is common for people you do not know to say hello to you when passing you. But this does not always mean they are inviting you to stop and talk for a long time. Many times the person
22、 is just being friendly. If you dont say hello back to them they may think you are being unfriendly. 26.
