When we come to a big zoo, well see an ape Though an ape's brain is much smaller than a man's brain, he has a larger brain than any other animal except man Apes all belong to the hot countries of the world

When visiting England for the first time, it is necessary to know most of the "do's and don'ts " Here we are going to discuss the forms

But this is not all You can, of course, say "Good morning." when you see somebody in the morning You can say it till noon Till about

6 o'clock in the evening you say "Good afternoon" and from that time

on "Good evening" But all these are rather formal greetings

If you meet a friend of yours you may just say "Hello, John." or

"Hello, Mary."

The manner of addressing people in Britain is quite different from ours First of all, never use the words "sir" or "madam" while speaking with equals A usual form of addressing people is "Mr Smith", "Mrs Smith" But you must remember that "Mrs." is the form of addressing a married woman, while "Miss" is used for a young girl or

an unmarried woman

The next rule to be remembered is about shaking hands British people avoid shaking hands as much as possible They shake hands with you when they meet you for the first time or when they leave you for long And remember that it is always the visitor who offers his hand first, even if the person visited is a woman
