Teacher: What is that?

Gene: It is two layers of pasta filled with meat and cheese and covered in tomato sauce.

Teacher: It sounds delicious. So did you try anything else?

Gene: I also tried a quattro formaggio pizza.

Teacher: Whoa, what is that?

Gene: That means four-cheese pizza in Italian.

Teacher: Oh. I have had that before.

Gene: Isn’t it delicious?

Teacher: Yep!

Listening Review 4

All countries have different manners. In Bangladesh, women greet each other by nodding their heads instead of shaking hands. It is also considered offensive to give money as a gift there. When you go to a restaurant in the Philippines, always let whoever is buying order first. It is rude for a guest to order before the host. In Mexico, the color purple is regarded as a color for funerals, so people never give purple flowers as a gift.
