Listening Practice 4

Jae: So are you excited to go to Korea, Sue?

Sue: Yeah, of course I am, Jae. I think it will be a lot different from England.

Jae: It will be. I went there last year. It is very different.

Sue: Is there anything I should know? This is my first trip there.

Jae: You should take off your shoes when entering a Korean house. Bare feet are considered rude, so don’t forget to wear socks.

Sue: I know that! Anything else?

Jae: Hmm. When Koreans go to a restaurant, they don’t usually order a dish for each person. They order a few for everyone to share. Oh, and don’t sneeze at the table. It is considered vulgar and inappropriate.

Sue: Oh, OK.

Jae: And also, when using public transportation, you should give up your seat for the elderly and pregnant women.

Sue: Well, we do that here in England too. Anything else?

Jae: I am sure I am forgetting other stuff, but don’t worry. You will be fine.
