Table manners differ around the world. If you visit a friend’s home for a meal, it’s good to know about the
customs they follow.
If you are invited to a Moroccan's home, bring a gift of sweet pastries, nuts, figs, dates, or flowers to the
hostess. In many traditional homes, people often sit on the floor to eat a meal. Often, everyone shares food from the
same 10 plates. The plate is put in the centre of the table. Usually, everyone also drinks water from the same glass.
Only eat the food in front of you. Don’t reach across someone for food. It is common to use your fingers and small
pieces of bread to eat food. Use only your right hand to eat. Don’t say “no” to food. If the host of the meal offers
you food or drink, take some and try a little. In many Moroccan homes, it is common to take off your shoes.
Tanzania is known for its fresh fish and spices. Don’t act scared if your meal comes with its head still on the
plate. It is polite to try a bite of everything. In many Tanzanian homes, people sit at a table on small stools to eat. It
is OK to eat with your right hand, using bread or chapati to pick up food. Everyone may take food from the same
plate, but it is not usual for people to share drinks. You may compliment the cook on a delicious meal, but don’t

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has one
of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest families
marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out of school
and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat are more
likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows that 91% of people
who had secured access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible
because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older. Since 2010, the legal
age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese
Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to 3 years and a fine of up to
10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied. There has been quite a lot of progress in
Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society
cooperation. The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national
strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal. However, the post-
earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed.
