    The passage discusses different cultural norms around communication in countries like Indonesia, Australia, France and Costa Rica. Specifically, it discusses preferences around agreeing, directness, and interrupting during conversations.

    In Indonesia, people prefer to agree and be polite by saying 'yes' even when meaning 'no'. Australians prefer direct responses. In France, arguments can involve interrupting each other, which is seen as active participation rather than lecturing.

    In Indonesia, there are many ways to say 'yes' in the local language, but twelve of these actually mean 'no'. It is considered polite to agree and not say 'no' directly.

    Mean What You Say: The Art of Conversation


    Its always a good idea to study the language of a foreign country before you travel there. But speaking with
    someone from another country can involve more than just words in a different language. People in different
    countries can have very different customs when they speak.
    People in Indonesia, for example, always want to be agreeable and polite, and this means that they dont like
    to say no. In their native language (Bahasa Indonesia), there are many ways to say yes. But twelve of these
    yes words actually mean no!
    Australians are friendly with people, but they value directness. Australians prefer a clear, direct response,
    even if it is not the one they wanted.
    The French appreciate the art of conversation, which can include arguing as a form of entertainment. In this
    case, speakers may interrupt each other frequently. This is considered active participation in the conversation by
    both people. It is better than one person lecturing the other.
    As in many other Latin American countries, titles are very important in Costa Rica. Peoples titles can indicate
    their professions, such as Doctor (doctor) or Ingeniero (engineer). Licenciado is used when talking to someone
    with a college degree. If someone doesnt have a professional title, Seor (Mr.), Seora (Mrs.), or Seorita
    (Miss) are appropriate.
    Example: In which country do people dislike saying no

    directly?
    a. France
    b. Australia
    [c. Indonesia]
    d. Costa Rica
    27. Australians prefer to
    a. say yes.
    b. receive a direct answer.
    c. say no.
    d. argue for entertainment.
    28. In Indonesia, it is considered polite to
    a. agree.
    b. argue.

    c. be direct.
    d. be entertaining.
    29. What can you expect to find during an argument in
    France?
    a. anger
    b. lecturing
    c. interruptions
    d. lots of jokes
    30. In conversation, Costa Ricans like to
    a. argue.
    b. interrupt.
    c. say no.
    d. refer to a persons profession.

    8. Tell a short story about a thrilling, fascinating, or frightening experience youve


    had.
