Gifts and Cultures
Narrator: In many countries,
peopl
e give special gifts at certain
times. Sometimes
the
customs
seem
unusual.
For
exampl
e,
in
Australia,
a
birthday
cake
for
a
21-year-old
is
often
shaped
like
a
key.
It
means
the
person
is
an
adult
and
can
come home
at any time. In parts of Africa, peopl
e
give a cow as a wedding present,
because they believe
that
a
cow can bring
good luck to the
newly-weds.
Before
Korean stud
ents take
university entrance tests, their friends give them
sticky rice
candy for luck. The friends
hope that the stud
ents will pass the
test and
the
university.
The
following
short
conversations
will
tell
you
about
different
customs in China, Argentina,
Switzerland, Italy and Japan.
Number 1:
China
Woman:
Did
I tell you I'm going to China?
Man:
China?
Great.
Woman:
Yes. I'm going to Shanghai on business.
I have to buy some gifts.
Man:
Good id
ea. What
are you going to take?
Woman:
I
was
thinking
of
bringing
some
handkerchiefs.
They're
col
orful,
beautiful? also lightweight. I
d
on't want to carry anything heavy.
Man:
Ah, I
d
on't think you shoul
d give
handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in
Chinese culture.
Woman:
Why not?
Man:
A handkerchief is a symbol
of saying goodbye.
Woman:
Saying goodbye?
Man:
Yeah, like when you're
going away ... and peopl
e are crying,
so they need a
handkerchief. Actually,
I've heard that one of the best things to give is
a dinner --
not a present, but a big
dinner. It's good for business.
Number
2: Argentina
Woman:
This is interesting. Did you know that
in Argentina you shoul
d never
give clothing unl
ess you
know the person really well?
Man:
Don't give clothing? Why
not?
Woman:
Cl
othing -- even things like
ties -- are too personal. Only good friends
give them.
Man:
Huh?
I
never
thought
of
a
tie
as
being
personal ...
just
uncomfortabl
e.
What should you bring?
Woman:
I
d
on't know. Maybe something for the
house.
Number 3: Switzerland
Man:
We're
meeting
Mr.
Mertz
and
his
wife
for
dinner.
Maybe
I
should
take
fl
owers or something ...
Yeah, I'll pick up some red roses.
Woman:
You'd
better
not
give
them
roses.
In
Switzerland,
they
could
be
a
symbol of l
ove and romance.
Man:
Oh, I
didn't know that.
Woman:
I think candy or chocolate might be
better.
Number 4: Italy
Woman:
I'd like
some fl
owers. Uh ... those. About ten,
I guess.
Man:
Ma'am, I d
on't think you
should give ten fl
owers. In Italy, even
numbers --
2, 4, 6, and so on -- are
bad luck.
Woman:
Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll
take nine fl
owers then.
Number 5: Japan
Woman:
May I help you?
Man:
I'm going
to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get
something for them.
Woman:
Pen sets are always a good gift.
Man:
Oh, that's a good id
ea.
Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil
...
and bigger sets with four pens.
Woman:
You said
you're going to Japan?
Man:
Yeah.
Woman:
Don't give a set of four pens -- in
fact, d
on't give four of anything.
Man:
Why not?
Woman:
The
Japanese
word
for
sounds
like
the
word
for
eath.
It's
bad luck.
Man:
Thanks for telling me. I'll take the
pen and pencil set.
Woman:
Good choice. These sets make very good
gifts. After all, pens write in
any
language!
Man:
Uh ... yeah. Right.
