Etiquette!

Hey class! Thanks for a great (short) week. I need to catch up on my blog posts! This is one from Unit 3 about manners and etiquette. I wanted to put some of the common rules of etiquette in Korea.

Check out the list! Think about how you would write about Korean manners! What would be your topic sentence? What about your ideas and supporting examples? Conclusion?

Korea table etiquette can be very important. Especially when you are eating with elders!

What rules of etiquette do you follow?

Bowing.
Speaking respectfully.
Eating quietly.
Receiving things with both hands.
Turning away when taking a drink of alcohol.
Giving up your seat to elders or pregnant women.
Sitting up straight.
Avoiding eye contact (in some cultures you should maintain eye contact)
Opening the door for women.
Putting the toilet seat up when in use and putting it back down when you are done!

Why do you do these things?

For extra credit write a paragraph in correct format about: Why are manners important in Korea?
