Hello everyone! I’m Yoko. I’m from
Tokyo, the capital city of Japan.
The customs of my country are
somewhat different from those
of the countries of the West. For
example, we bow to greet someone and
we don’t like standing too close to each other. If you say
‘Ohay gozaimasu’ to someone, you mean ‘Good morning’, and
we young people often say ‘Genki?’ which means ‘Are you
well?’. Body language is very important, too. If you shake
your hand from side to side, you mean ‘no’ and pointing to
your nose means ‘me’. You all know traditional Japanese
dishes such as sushi, tempura and noodles and you probably
know that we use chopsticks to eat our meals. We eat sitting
on mats on the floor, therefore, our floors have to be very
clean. To keep them clean, we always take off our shoes
and change into special slippers when we enter the house.
Sports that are very popular in Japan include judo, kendo,
karate and sumo wrestling, our national sport, which has a
history of more than 1,000 years! Young people also enjoy
baseball, football, volleyball and tennis. Finally, two forms
of traditional Japanese theatre, Noh and Kabuki, continue
to thrive in my country today…
‘Salut’, I’m Pierre and I’m from Paris,
the capital city of France! In my
country we say ‘Bonjour’ for ‘Good
morning’ and ‘Comment allez-vous?
for ‘How are you?’. Like Spanish people,
when we greet each other, we shake
hands and usually kiss 3 times! We’re one of the largest
producers of wine in the world and famous for our ‘haute
cuisine’. One taste of a crêpe or a croissant, and you’ll
never forget it! The French love doing sport and keeping
fit. Some of the most popular sports in my country are
football, cycling, skiing, tennis and pétanque – a traditional
game played with metal balls. Culture and the arts are
extremely important in our everyday life. We celebrate
local festivals through music and dance throughout the
year. We also appreciate a visit to the theatre, the opera
or the many famous museums, such as the Louvre, home to
the world-famous painting ‘Mona Lisa’, or the Orsay museum
to admire the paintings of Renoir, Monet and Degas, some
of the greatest Impressionist artists. ...

Εικόνα Language focus
4.1 Look at the verbs in bold.
These verbs are called stative verbs. They
refer to a ‘state’ and are not normally used in
continuous tenses. Do you know any other
stative verbs?
...........................................................................................................................
...........................................................................................................................
4.2 Some stative verbs can be used in continuous tenses but there is a
difference in meaning. Look at the following pairs of sentences and
explain what they mean in your own language.
1. a. We have a lot of interesting customs in my country. ..............................
.......................................................................................................................
  b. We are having sushi and noodles for lunch. ..........................................
