Hi Ellie,
Im happy that youre going to visit Japan. Life
here is very different. Im going to tell you about
our customs.

1 Its usual to give a present when you visit a

Japanese person. _
2 Japanese people use chopsticks to eat. _
3 People wear slippers in the house. _
4 Japanese people sit on the floor when they
eat. _

Answer the questions. Then read the

email to check your answers.
1 What do Japanese people do before they
enter the bathroom?

They put on different slippers.

___________________________________
2 How many hands must you use when you
give a present?

Before you enter a Japanese home, its normal

to take off your shoes and put on slippers. And
when you go to the bathroom, you change
these slippers and put on different ones.
If you decide to bring my family a present (its
the custom), its important to give it with two
hands. Its bad luck to give a present with one
hand.
We always sit on the floor when we have
our meals. Before we start to eat, we say
itadakimasu. This means good eating to you.
At the end of the meal, we say gochisosama or
thank you for the meal.
Japanese food is delicious sushi, rice and
noodles. We eat with chopsticks. Theyre
difficult to use at first, but you can make a noise
when you eat noodles - its normal!
Thats all for now. See you in the summer.
Daiki
