Question

   If you go to the USA. this passage tells you something about American customs and culture. 

   In many countries,when people give their names,they give their last names or family names. But in the United States,people usually use their first names? some people even take on “nicknames”. On the first day of class,teachers will introduce themselves and will tell you how you can address them.

   People may ask“How are you doing?” or “How are you?” as a greeting. If someone asks you one of these questions,he/she only wants to show he/she is polite. Most people will answer these questions with “Fine,thanks. How are you?” “Good” or “Not too bad” and so on.

   People living far away from home usually feel culture shock,but this doesn’t have to make you feel too bad. If you find yourself feeling homesick,call a friend at home or go to your school's international student club to speak with a teacher. Many people feel culture shock in a new living place,so don't be afraid of it.
