Also, many people feel that the rules for regular mails dont apply to email, making it less formal, which in turn make email easier to write and send.Its not just friends and cowo

20、rkers that are receiving emails. Wherever you look, the Web is providing email addresses. This has made communication between strangers easier than ever.

25、say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say sorry. When getting off a bus, English passengers say thank you rather than the driver.

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When peo

In Germany, employers often say thank you to employees for their job. C. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough. D. German men never treat a woman to dinner.62.
