For example, in some Asian countries, a guest takes off his shoes before entering the house. However, this is not done in European countries. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink.

Colours mean different things in different countries. In China, for example, women wear red clothes when they get married. In Europe, however, women wear white. In some countries red means danger. It is the colour used for stop signs and traffic lights. Red is also the colour of blood and fire. It is also the colour of love. People often send red roses to the person they love. However, if people “see red” it means they are angry. In many parts of the world, baby boys wear blue clothes and baby girls wear pink clothes.

Passage IV The thing I like most about living on a farm is the change of seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. You can see them all come and go and each one is completely different. In the city you can’t tell the difference – you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetable all the year round. Here in the country you only eat things at certain times of the year – for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter. You live with seasons. Also we make most of our food – we make butter and cheese, we grow our own vegetables and bake our own bread. We never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything is fresh so it must be better for you. City people may think we miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than we do – they miss real life. 73.
