A friend of a friend is visiting your town and staying with you for a week. You don't know her, and she is from a different culture. You want to give her a warm welcome, but you are not sure how to greet her, what food and drink to offer, or what activities to recommend while she is visiting. You phone your friend to ask for advice., “Hi! I hope you’re well. Your friend is arriving soon, and I want to make her feel welcome, but I’m not sure what she likes. Can you tell me how I should greet her and what food or activities she might enjoy?”, You are staying with a host family abroad. The family seemed nice at first but now there are some problems and they don't talk to you much. You want to study, but the family is very noisy. They smoke inside even though you asked for a non-smoking house. In the morning, there is never any hot water left for your shower. You decide to talk to the mother of the family., Hi, can we talk for a moment? I really like staying here, but I have a few problems. It’s hard for me to study because it’s sometimes very noisy. Also, I asked for a non-smoking house, but people smoke inside. And in the morning there is no hot water left. Could we please find a solution together?”, You are a vegetarian. You were invited to a barbecue at your boss's house. When you get there, your boss gives you a large plate of meat to eat. You do not want to offend your boss and her family by not eating their food. A close friend/colleague is at the barbecue, and you decide to ask for his advice., Hey, can I talk to you for a second? I’m vegetarian, but my boss just gave me a big plate of meat. I don’t want to be rude. What do you think I should do?”.
