　　In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the morning, while he is shaving（刮胡子）or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and needs immediate（立刻的）attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11∶00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he thinks it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call passes on importance（重要性）.

　　In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests will feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to dinner party is given only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In the other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment（約會）too early because plans which are made for a date more than a week away are easily forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings（誤解）are caused（引起）. Promptness（及時）is of high value（價值）in American life. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete his sentence.

　　In England,“Thank you!”is the polite sentence of daily life. When someone gives you some help, you should say”Thank you!”to him. When you buy something, you should say”Thank you”to the salesgirl or the salesman in the shop. When a meeting or a class is over, the speaker or your teacher always says“Thank you”to the people or the students.

　　Yet, we usually do not say”How old are you?”,”Where are you from?”or”How is your father?”When we meet somebody for the first time, because these are questions of privacy（隱私）.

　　If a person you know very well says”Goodbye”to you, you'd better say”See you later !”to him, especially when you are talking with a girl. If a person you don't know very well says”Goodbye”to you, you should also say”Goodbye”or”Bye-bye”to her.

  Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs（習俗）, so that they will not think us impolite（不禮貌）. Here are some examples of thing that a person with good manners does or does not do.

  If you wait a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens you will not move before the host（主人）says “Come in, please.” After you enter the room you won't sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put up on a tea table before you or send to your hand, you will say “Thank you” and receive it with your two hands, or they will think you are not polite. Before entering the house in Japan it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, if your shoes become very dirty, this is not done. In Malay（馬來）house, a guest never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show he had has enough. In England, guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it.
