Most people want to be polite and behave well around others. Being polite involves good
manners of eating and appropriate ways of greeting and talking to people, and giving and
receiving gifts. Polite behaviours may differ from culture to culture.
In the United State, people prefer to shake hands firmly for a few seconds. In some Middle
Eastern countries, people hold the person's hand gently for a longer time. What about eye
contact? In some countries you show respect when you look at someone directly in the eye. In
other parts of the world, looking at someone directly can be rude. Another difference is personal
space. In North America, people usually stand about an arm's length apart during a conversation.
However, in Latin America, people stand closer
If you are going to live, work, or study in another country, you should learn about its
culture. In this way, you can be polite and make a good impression. Politeness can be good for

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Hawaii is often considered to be one place in the world where you can find paradise. But
when I arrived in Hawaii, I was shocked to discover beaches were covered in plastic rubbish
washed up from around the world. As dug through the sand, I realised the sandy beach was being
transformed into a plastic beach. A chill went down my spine.
From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain, we are polluting our own
environment. Beaches are now covered in more rubbish than ever before. The plastic we see on
our beaches is just a small amount of the plastic waste that exists in our oceans. Scientists believe
that sea currents have created five huge garbage areas in our oceans, including the one in the
North Atlantic. This is a global problem for which we are all responsible.
Plastic makes our life easier, but its production and use are completely out of control.
Because plastic rubbish in the oceans looks like food, it is being eaten by small fish, which in turn
is eaten by large fish, which in turn is eaten by us. Plastic is damaging our beaches, polluting the
oceans, and poisoning our food chain. The consequences are still not fully understood, but they
are likely to be terrible.
We need to stop using plastic bags for packaging and single-use water bottles. These make
up most of the plastic garbage in the oceans. In Bangladesh and Kenya, they have stopped using
plastic bags completely. The UK has put a tax on plastic bags. Many supermarkets around the
world are not packing goods in plastic.
The future of our beaches, our seas, and the food chain is at risk. This is an environmental
problem that we need to solve immediately.
(Adapted from Headway by Soars, Soars and Hancock)
