The proverb “one man’s meat is another’s poison” applies to table manners as well. To put it more simply, in Britain you mustn’t lift your soup bowl to your mouth. In Japan, however, lifting your bowl to your mouth is an efficient way of drinking your soup. [22] And in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink it. Noisily drinking your soup or any other food you happen to be eating is quite acceptable and shows that you are enjoying it. That’s not true in Britain, however. In Britain, we try not to put our hands or elbows on the table at all during a meal. [23] In Mexico, however, guests are supposed to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. But it is in the Arab countries where we really must be aware of what we do with our hands. [24] You see, in Arab countries you mustn’t, in any circumstances, eat with your left hand. This is considered very, very impolite. So what should you do if you visit another country? Well, you needn’t worry. The details of table manners may vary but usually the aim is to avoid eating in a way that is disgusting and to look after other people’s needs as well as your own. [25] So be guided by your host and hostess and try and do as they do, not as you do at home.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. In Japan, what table manner shows that you’re enjoying your meal?

24. What is thought to be impolite in Arab countries, according to the passage?
