In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet fade away

in a short time if circumstances change Neither side feels hurt by this Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while – then no more If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off and delighted

In the United States, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can’t give it in return No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily

Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full and warm and real Most visitors find themselves

readily invited into many homes there In some countries, it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as only home cooked food, not “doing something for your guest” It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome Or for other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes

In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered friendlier to invite a person

to one’s home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment

Don’t feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in hotel room, either Flowers are very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed, or cancelled – so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch Please do not feel unwanted!

in different lands, the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real

1 In the United States, you will find friendship ………….if circumstances change

A die suddenly B pass away C disappear gradually D last forever

2 Americans…………their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality
