counts as good manners in England When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk He may just nod say hello and pass on If two friends do stop to talk they do not shake hands It is only at parties for young people students for instance that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host hostess or another guest who he already knows At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech for example at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring After a private dinner in someone s house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion like a business dinner and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house Luckily like Chinese people the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette But even so perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student no matter what country he is visiting is to follow the old proverb when in Rome do as the Romans do 21 When an Englishman meets a friend in the street he may B A
