UNIT 1

LESSON 1: Getting acquainted

¿How do people greet around the world?  (Research 2 countries)

In China they avoid physical contact when greeting, they don't usually give hugs or kisses on the cheek as in other places. The correct way to greet in China is to bow from the shoulders to the waist. In another country like France, in the north of this country people usually greet each other with two kisses, one on each cheek. In the south they usually give three or four kisses.

¿How do you greet in your country? 

In Colombia we have many ways of greeting, the most common greeting is bumping our fists, it´s like an informal greeting between friends, formally we greet by shaking hands, also depending on the person or confidence we greet giving a kiss on the cheek or a hug. We even greet with gestures or signs, for example when we raise our thumb or wave our hand from side to side.
