Tomorrow Steven will be working with you on the topic Etiquette, manners and relationships across countries. Before you check the info from a couple of interesting websites,do this test:
http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/culture-test-1.html


Please go through the facts and tips on these sites, and compile the topic vocabulary you are less familiar with. For instance: (from website 1, section American society and culture) MELTING POT; COMMODITY; RELIABLE; NUCLEAR FAMILY.

The main activity will be to think about the same issues applied to Spain and write
a kind of on-the-spot guide giving info and tips to foreigners. You will do this
in groups. It will be followed by a class discussion and comparison of ideas.
Preparing for this will make things easier and the discussion more fluent.
