because they begin their new jobs, attend distant colleges, get married, have children or
simply want to change their lives. Perhaps as consequence of these, people form and end
friendships quickly. Students attending two or three universities during their
undergraduate and graduate years may change their circles of friends several times.
Relationships based on a common activity may face or end when activity ends. Students
might meet in classes and remain friends for the duration of the course and then stop
seeing each other after the final examination. The same holds true for neighbors who are
the closest of friends until one moves away. In these friendships, shared daily experiences
form the foundation for the friendship. Enduring their friendships develop when
individuals have similar interests and a common outlook on life. The high rate of
mobility in the United States can explain a great deal about transient friendships.
It is easy to be misled (b hiu sai) by instant friendship which may appear to be deep and
personal but are really superficial (hi ht). Friendship and friendliness are not
synonymous (ng ngha). Friendliness is characterized much of American daily
interaction but is not always and indication of friendship. Strangers may share life
histories without any intention of pursuing a relationship. Characterizing instant
friendship is the appearance of two people becoming close but, in reality, there is no
strong bond between them. Brief encounters do not always imply desire for further
contact. Many people frequently smile or say, "Have a nice day!" or "See you later," or
even extend an invitation as part of a cultural pattern of politeness. Such expressions do
not always suggest an offer of continued friendship.

ran home and put the present on the corner of the desk. The time for the party was
coming, so I got dressed and hurried to Fiona's house. On getting there, I saw some of my
friends standing at the door giving Fiona cards, flowers, and gifts. I didn't notice that I
hadn't brought the present with me. When Fiona called me, I realized that I forgot one big
thing. "Oh, my god. I don't take my gift with me. What should I do?" Some of my friends
looked at me with a little surprise, so I felt very embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

would send her later. You know I have never been in a situation like that. You can

In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet
fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both
may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up
the friendship where they left off and are delighted.
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, or
enjoy their lives without fear that they are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate
to accept hospitality because you can not give it in return. No one will expect you to do
so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be
pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.
Once you arrived there, the welcome will be full, warm, and real. Most visitors find
themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered
inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what it felt as only home cooked food, not
"doing something for your guests." It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows most
respect and welcome. Or for the other reasons, such as crowded space, language
difficulties, or family customs, outsiders are not invited into homes.
In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to
invite a person to one's home then go to a public place, except in a pure business
relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being
shown inferior treatment.
Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either.
Flowers are very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed,
changed or cancelled - so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please
do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what
matters. And this will be real.

average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a
mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time,

The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists
suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of

cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from theses fuorocrabons can account
for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies
linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into that new study
more next time.
