Well I would have to agree with them, but life is not all black and white – in other words whenever you follow a certain rule, there is almost This rule could certainly help you out, as would a lot of rules. Don’t care too much about what you look like, because then you will never be happy. But whenever you are in public, make sure that you look presentable (象样的).
Be sure to do the following things before going in public:
* Make sure your hair is neat (整齐). Comb it, brush it, or do whatever you need to do to make it look neat.
* Brush your teeth. You always want to make sure that your teeth are clean while you are in public.
* Shower (once a day). This is something that we should all do. No excuses.
* Make sure that the clothes you are wearing are clean, and free of any dirt or smell.
Let ’s take a step further…
In addition to looking acceptable, it also wouldn ’t be a bad idea to stay in style. Look around at what everyone else is wearing. Try to wear not exactly what everyone else is wearing, but clothes very similar to what everyone else is wearing. In other words, make sure to wear clothes that are in style.

Li Ming is studying English in New York. He has not been there long, and he is quite amazed at the great differences between American and Chinese cultures.
For one thing, Americans and Chinese are different in arranging (安排) a visit. Chinese prefer to call on their friends unexpectedly. Americans, on the other hand, prefer making an appointment before a visit. An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite.
For another thing, their table manners differ. Chinese usually eat directly from the dish. And
during the meal, the hosts may keep putting food on the guest’s plates. An American, however, only eats from his own plates. He never picks up food for others unless he is asked to do so.
Moreover, they have different ways in replying to good words. For example when you say her cooking skill is very good, Chinese will say sorry for being a poor cook. Yet an American hostess is likely to accept (接受) it. “Oh, I’m glad you like it. I cooked it especially for you.”
At the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to get used to things around him because of these cultural differences. But soon, he succeeded in following their ways of doing things. ’d like to say he could get along well in a new culture.
