Text 1 Bad manners at work
Etiquette is the name we give to the rules for being polite in a social group Business etiquette is
important for people who often have to make new contacts and build relationships in their work. Politeness can also help to improve the working environment for people in the same office Some cultures and situations are formal, which means that we have to follow rules; other cultures and situations are more informal.
Text 2 Office workers “admit being rude”
Most office workers say they are rude or bad-mannered at work Two out of three workers regularlyarrive late for meetings, most ignore emails and three out of four use bad language In a survey of1,000 workers, two-thirds say that pressure of work is the reason for bad manners
Other common examples of bad office etiquette include ignoring colleagues and answering mobilephone calls during meetings Using mobile phones in meetings is impolite and distracts others,research by the University of Surrey shows If you respond to call when speaking to somebody, itmeans that the phone call is more important than the person, the survey said If you answer a callduring a meeting, it could mean that the meeting is not important
Mr Jacobs, managing director of Office Angels, a recruitment firm say it is easy for people to forgettheir manners in the working environment, which is often very informal and very busy Workers canforget proper etiquette such as introducing people at meetings, and this is often bad for workingrelationships
Psychologist Dr Colin Gill believes that people are not as polite as they were twenty years ago Hesaid: ‘Courtesy is no longer something that is so much respected in our society.’ People think it is
‘stuffy to be polite or formal.’
Now some organisations are actually investing money in training their junior managers to be polite.Office Angels is encouraging people to arrive on time for meetings, turn off mobile phones andavoid bad manners at work is such a simple thing to do,’ Mr Jacobs says, ‘ and it can have adramatic impact on improving your working environment and your relationships with others.’The aim of the texts is to ………

Color Matters for What You Wear
Clothes are like a second skin Most likely you feel good when you wear your favorite color Whathappens when someone sees you wearing any color - for example blue? Does the color send a message?
What do you think about pink and blue for children?
One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way This tradition emerged at the turn of the
20th century Since pink was thought to be a stronger color, it was best suited for boys; blue was more delicate and dainty and best for girls In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science
in Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls
Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for babygirls in Belgium today
Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda Also, British bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades Pink goes in and out of fashion in other
Trang 12parts of the world White is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S and most European cultures White symbolizes purity and innocence.
What about the color worn for weddings and funerals?
In Asia, white is the color of death This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and that white represents the purity that the deceased brings into the next life Therefore, brides
in Japan and China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies
White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white Consequently, red or pinksaris are the most popular colors for brides
What about black clothes?
Black symbolizes death and is the traditional color of mourning in Western cultures Black clothing is associated with powerful forces in many parts of the world Bad and good Witches, thedevil, ninjas, cat burglars, Darth Vader, Cat Woman, and Batman wear black and so do priests,nuns, judges, mimes, Mennonites, Bedouins, and monks
Maybe the common thread is that these people are signaling their seriousness of purpose - or the need to be hard to see - or both
Here's something else to think about: What happens when the same people wear green? Are they as powerful? Are the priest and nun as respectable?
