Section 1 Before You Read
Reading strategy:
As we read, we need to find “topic sentence”.
These sentences usually give us a “summary”, or
overall meaning of each paragraph and help us
understand what the paragraph is about. After the
topic sentence comes more detail and explanation.

Section 2 While You Read
Would you mind keeping your voice down?
If you spend some time in an
English-speaking country, you
might hear the term “etiquette”. It
means normal and polite social
behavior. This may seem like a
difficult word at first, but it can be
very useful to understand.
![Page 12: Would you mind keeping your voice down? Unit 7 Reading.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f2f5503460f94c494f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Section 2 While You Read
Etiquette is not the same in every
culture, or in every situation. For
example, standing very close to the
person you are talking with is quite
common in some Asian countries.
However, if you do this in Europe,
some people might feel
uncomfortable. Even in China, we
all know that etiquette is not the
same in all situations.

Section 2 While You Read
Perhaps we think that talking loudly in
our own homes is fine, but there are
other places where talking loudly is not
allowed. For example, most people would
agree that talking loudly in a library, a
museum, or a movie theater is impolite.
Even if you are with your friends, it is
better to keep your voice down in public
places. In fact, we should also take care
not to cough or sneeze loudly in public if
possible.

Section 2 While You Read If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may give them some suggestions politely. Perhaps one of the most polite ways is to ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example, if someone cuts in front of you in a line, you could ask them, sorry, would you mind joining the line? If someone is smoking on the bus, we could ask, Excuse me, could you please put out that cigarette? People don’t usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.

Section 2 While You Read
Although rules of etiquette can
often be different, some rules are
the same almost everywhere in the
world! For example, dropping litter
is almost never allowed. If you see
someone you know doing this, you
can ask them, Would you mind
picking it up?
