Dialogue: Pete: Hey Markus. I have a question I'd like to ask you. Markus: Yes. Go ahead. Pete: Well, I'm thinking about going to Germany this summer [Great!], and I need some advice. You're the best person I know to answer my questions since you're German. Markus: Thank you. What do you want to know? Pete: Well, don't laugh, but I met this really nice woman through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion group on the Internet [laughter]. I need some advice. You see, Claudia, ... Markus: Okay. So it's Claudia, oh? Pete: Yeah, yeah. See, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany [Hum]. And well, I told here I had studied a little bit about the country and language [Hum], and she's kind of expecting that I know more than I really do. Markus: Hum. You're really in hot water now! Pete: Yeah. I think so. Markus: Well, what do you want to know? Pete: Well, she's planning on introducing me to her parents. Markus: Hey. Sounds kind of serious. Pete: It isn't, at least I think it isn't. Anyway, what should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany? Markus: Well, it depends upon your relationship with the person. Now, speaking of your girlfriend, Claudia, .... Pete: Hey, I didn't say she was my girlfriend. Markus: Ah, okay, okay. Now if you're meeting someone formally for the first time, like Claudia's parents, you should make sure you arrive on time. Pete: Okay, so arrive on time. Uh, what about common greetings? Markus: Well, Germans often shake hands, and they use the person's family name, unless they're really close friends. Pete: Okay, what about with Claudia? I'm not sure what I should do in her case. Markus: Ah. You can call her Claudia [Okay], shake hands, and why don't you take her some flowers? Pete: Oh, how do you say "Nice to meet you" anyway? Markus: Oh, "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen." Pete: "Ich freu me senselen...? " Markus: Uhhh. Not exactly. "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen" [Uhhh]. Markus: Humm.

Dialogue: Interviewer: What were the things in Britain that you found most strange when you first arrived? Mathew: Well, the first thing is driving on the wrong side of the road..., that would be the- that was very strange because you have this automatic reflex when you go out into the street to look one way and a couple of times I did that and I almost got hit by cars and bikes and all, you know. It's dangerous. It really is dangerous. And you have to teach yourself to look the other way. Interviewer: Someone said that Britain and the United States are divided by a common language. Have you had any difficulties with the language here? Mathew: Oh, yeah-tremendous amount of difficulty but I'm starting to pick it up now-all the lingo and slang and all those-but there's definitely a difference. Interviewer: Can you give me any example? Mathew: Well, the big-I'd say some of the biggest ones would be the word "queue" which means in America "line". I never heard the word "queue" before. Um-what you call "chips", I call "French fries". I never heard them called "chips". Urn-there's so many-urn-words that are different. Ah-" crisps" which mean " potato chips" Yeah, that's - we call them "potato chips" or "chips" in America. You call them "crisps" here. So when I heard the word "chips", I was thinking of "crisps" and not French fry-you know-it's very confusing but-urn-but just some of the expressions like-er-" mate" you know and "love". Those-you know--they're funny. You don't hear them. You don't hear them in America. Interviewer: What about with young people-with people your own age-I mean, do you notice differences there? Mathew: I do notice some differences-er-I think-ah-I think the younger people in Britain are-they seem to be-much more radical than the younger people in the United States. I noticed that. Ah-the dress is different. You see a lot of-I see a lot of males here with earring in one of their-in one of their ears. You don't see that in America that much. Somet-maybe here and there, but not, not like you... Question: Which of the following statements is NOT true? - The Americans use "line" for which the British people use "queue". - The Americans use "French fries" for which the British people use "chips". - The Americans use "crisps" for which the British people use "chips".
**Answer**
