What was his mistake? a) He did not use first names. b) He did not speak French. c) He did not use family names. 3. How did the staff feel when Peter used first names? My good friend Peter joined a French company recently. He made a mistake and used first names rather than family names. The staff were not happy about this. It is always best to be formal at first in France, especially when you start a new job. Peter's last company was an American company. People were more relaxed there, and they always used first names. AULA 13: CULTURAS CULTURAL MISTAKES 1. When did Rob make his mistake? 2. What was his mistake? a) He said he was not hungry. b) He did not leave anything on his plate. c) He asked for some more food. 3. How did his host react? I was having dinner with a group of Chinese business associates. The food was delicious, and soon there was nothing left on my plate. Our host called the waiter, who then filled up my plate again. I ate everything to show everyone that I really liked the food, but the waiter came to fill up my plate once again. I was really full! Fortunately, my host had worked with foreigners before, and finally he kindly explained to me that in China, if you don't leave anything on your plate, it means you are still hungry!
