Question
Work in groups. Discuss which of the following you expect to do in the first half an hour after arriving at someone's house to stay. What might the people say in each case?
Answer
The following would be normal in the UK:
- Many British people are still unsure what to do about kissing, and would be more likely just to shake hands.
- You would probably be introduced to everyone in the house.
- Hosts would ask about the journey and offer something to drink (but not necessarily something to eat).
- You might be expected to take your shoes off in some houses.
- If you had had a long journey, you might be offered a shower.
- If you were staying for a while, you might be shown all the rooms, or just the rooms you would be using.
- A small gift (flowers or chocolates, for example) would be appreciated but not necessarily expected.
