When encountering a new culture, you should remember the proverb 'When in Rome, do as the Romans
do', which encourages respect for the local customs. By following their customs, you can avoid rude
behaviours.
It is imperative to adapt your behaviour to the social norms of the place you're visiting. Imagine travelling
to a country where people greet each other with a bow instead of a handshake, or visiting a nation where
people dress conservatively, especially women covering their head and legs. You must be highly aware
of the local norms and taboos to behave properly.
The proverb 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do' also applies beyond geographical travel. It can be
used for any unfamiliar situation where you feel out of place. Perhaps you've started a new job with a specific
dress code or joined a club with unique traditions. In these cases, following the lead of experienced
people in the new environment can help you blend in easily.
It's vital to note that the proverb above doesn't mean completely following every custom. There may be
practices that are forbidden by your morals or beliefs. In such situations, politely explain the reason why
you can't follow the locals while trying to stay respectful. The bottom line is to find a balance between
adapting and staying true to your cultural or religious values.
In short, when exposed to a new environment, you must be adaptable and respectful to find a balance
between embracing new experiences and staying true to your own identity.
24. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. How to Survive in a New Environment B. What to Do in a Foreign Country
C. How to Dress in a New Workplace D. What to Do to Keep Your Own Identity

A. you suppose you’re staying outside a place B. you believe you can’t express your emotions
C. you think you don’t belong to a place D. you admit that you can’t have any special feelings

Children’s Day in Japan, known as Kodomo no hi, is a colourful and culturally significant celebration
that highlights the importance of well-being for the nation’s youth. Taking place annually on 5th May, the
holiday not only demonstrates Japanese traditions but also promotes the healthy growth of younger generations.
One of the most striking features of Children’s Day is the colourful fish-shaped streamers known as
koinobori. These streamers are hung outside homes and public spaces, representing each member of the family.
The koinobori fluttering in the wind fills the sky with vibrant colours, signifying the hope for children’s success
and a bright future.
Children actively partake in various activities and events on this special day, and one of the most popular
events is the Kids Olympics. This event fosters a sense of teamwork, sportsmanship and physical fitness among
children. Kids can test their sports skills in a friendly, competitive environment while promoting a healthy and
active lifestyle on that day. Events such as relay races, tug-of-war and obstacle courses are organised to keep
children engaged enthusiastically and encourage them to improve their physical strength. Furthermore,
Children's Day is an occasion for families to come together, celebrate their children’s growth, and offer prayers
for their future success and happiness. Moreover, the traditional Japanese dishes are carefully prepared, including
kashiwa mochi (rice cakes wrapped in oak leaves) and chimaki (rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves),
symbolising prosperity and strength for children.
In conclusion, Children’s Day in Japan not only celebrates the country’s culture but also promotes the
