Manners and etiquette

 For this lesson our teacher shared with us, some vocabulary about manners and etiquette 

For example 

Cultural literacy: which means that People Know and respect the culture of others 

Or

Customary: Usual or tradition in a particular culture 

Besides there are a tv show, that is my all time  favorite called gilmore girls

This serie is about the life of Lorelai and rory gilmore Who are Mother and daugther 

So in this serie appear the parents of lorelai, and this topic make me remember to emily gilmore which is her Mother 

Because the character usually talk about this topic, indeed all the moments when she appear in this serie is around the table 

And i wanted to mention she because is the best example, she is especialist in table manners 

So for this lesson i wanna to bring a particularly activity that is a q/a session about etiquette 

1 What are some do's and dont's  for table manners? 

Previously, the table was a plank that was not supported, so people could not put their elbows on the table, because they risked falling all the food, but today it is not like that, although usually that is one of etiquette or manners for the table

Likewise, it is not okay to eat making noises or to talk while eating.

it's not nice to blow your nose at the table either

but if it is allowed, interact with the other diners, ask permission to go to the bathroom or get up

2 What are some taboo conversation topic

it is still common to hear a person say that homosexuality is a sin or something like that, especially if that person is religious

Just as it is possible that some people, specifically those over 50 years of age, consider that children and adolescents should not receive sexual education because, according to them, this can encourage their curiosity or damage their innocence.

3 What are the customs about punctuality

In my country there is an internal joke when delivering invitations for a celebration

because they say that the time on the invitation card should be two hours before the actual time so that people can arrive on time because it is customary to be late most of the time
