PRACTICE 1 Listen and read.

Nam: Hello, Tom. How're things?
Tom: Oh good. I like it here. The lifestyle is interesting and different from that in my country.
Nam: Really?
Tom: Sure. Students here call their teachers by their title “teacher”, not by their names.
Nam: Right. How do you greet your teachers?
Tom: We usually say “Hello” or “Good morning” then Mr, Mrs, or Miss and their surnames, for
example “Good morning, Mr Smith.”
Nam: Are there other differences?
Tom: People buy and sell a lot of street food here. In my country people usually buy food in a
store or a restaurant.
Nam: Yeah. Buying street food is a common practice in my city.
Tom: And I've noticed that many people have breakfast on the street too! In my country, we
typically have a light breakfast at home.
Nam: I see. But here many adults are in the habit of having breakfast outside of their homes. If
they're not in a hurry, they'll even have a leisurely coffee there.
Tom: That's fascinating!
