INTERNATIONAL GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS
The traditional of gift giving is a worldwide practice that is said to have been around since the beginning of
human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would
prefer to choose the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate for the
hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the
hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because
this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as
scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of relationship.
Also, in some countries you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in others it would be an insult if
you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different cultures
have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered – using only your right hand or using both
hands, for example. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift. In
Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally accepting it.
The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help
you to avoid any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship.

Exercise 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs
vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of
purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150
years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only wear once. Now,
bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles. In some Asian countries and in the Middle East, colors
of joy and happiness like red or orange other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the
wedding ceremony.
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of golf or silver and worn on
the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The circular shape of the ring is
symbolic of the couple’s eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings engraved with the bride’s
name on the groom’s ring, and vice versa.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in the most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love, and
because they usually bloom in the June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many
countries. After the weddings ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of
well-wishers – usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one
to marry.
Gifts: In Chinese cultures, wedding guest give gifts of money to the newly – weds in small red envelopes.
Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese weddings. In many Western countries, for
example in the U.K wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their
new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guest instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of
the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies in other
countries.

While you may not think it at first, there are numerous cultural differences between the US and the UK
that you will likely encounter.
In general, Americans are much more open than Britons. Friends and even acquaintances discuss
personal thoughts and opinions that might seem private in the UK. Do not feel embarrassed if an American
asks you a seemingly private question. He or she is most likely sincerely curious about your thoughts and
feelings and is assuming you would like to share them.
You may learn more about your American friends than you wanted to know, or you may hear more
childhood stories than you care to listen. Americans will be interested in your experiences and background
as well since your upbringing may differ greatly from theirs. In addition to more frequent discussion about
their personal lives, there is often a greater display of photographs, and posters in dorm rooms or office
spaces.
The sense of humor differs from one side of the Atlantic to the other. Americans tend to be less dry or
sarcastic. Some Americans may feel offended if they do not understand your humor, but after a brief
explanation they will be laughing along with you.
Americans tend to believe that individuals control their circumstances by how much they work. This
work ethic is reflected in American attitudes towards academics. Don't be surprised if you meet students
who spend a vast majority of their free time studying in the library.
Americans also tend to care much more for punctuality than their UK counterparts. Everything from
classes to a lunch date is expected to start right on time. Along with punctuality, most Americans move

under a half-hour. Additionally, you will not have to ask for the bill. It will be brought to you as soon as it is
clear to your waiter or waitress that you are finished ordering more items.
