My grandmother is over eighty years old. She always complains about how greatly things have changed, and she often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. If a husband and wife are having problem with their marriage, they don’t stay together any more. They choose to divorce. Mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working; no one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walk any more; people get richer and richer, and more and more people buy cars and drive. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now children don’t.
And in school, children don’t have to think any more. When I was at school, I used to add, subtract, multiply and divide using my head in math class, but now, children use calculators instead.
Most families have computers and TVs now. In the past we didn’t have computers or TVs, we spent a lot of time talking with our family members. But now, people are too busy to talk to each other. If they have time, they’d watch TV or surf the Internet rather than talk to family members. They are even too busy to eat and think.
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hand on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.
