One
study
shows
that
Americans
prefer
to
answer
with
a
brief
'Yes '
, '
No '
, '
Sure ' , or the very popular ' Yeah ' rather than with a longer reply.

But
brief
replies
do
not
mean
Americans

impolite
or
unfriendly

some
extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word '
Hi ' , indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the
United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank and occupation.

time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk. Americans sometimes
use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. If people praise them or thank them in an
especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in
reply. They don't want to be impolite or rude,
you can be sure that they liked what
was said about them.

Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don't usually give gifts.

embarrassed

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few
things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the
uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people
they look more professional than civilian(

“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste,
belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people
didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most do attach great
10

importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,” and “Everyone
is entitled to his opinion,” are common expr
essions. In fact, anyone who would
challenge another’s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.

Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on
what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend
“What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion,
they’re ugly.” In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his st
