14. Telephone etiquette. The techniques of telephoning are very much the same in all countries. Only remember your good telephone manners: • when talking on the telephone – speak clearly, not too fast but not too slowly either. Take your cigarette out of your mouth, and do not shout. If it’s a casual or a business talk you need to sound friendly. A smile will make your voice pleasant, friendly, accommodating, and attending. • Make sure that your conversation with a busy person is as brief as possible. List key points you want to make in note form before you place the call. Check off each point as the call moves along. Then you will never forget what you wanted to say and will not keep another person on the phone too long. • When calling a friend or a person who knows you but does not recognize your voice – don’t play a guessing name: ‘Guess who?’. Announce yourself promptly. • When you get a wrong number don’t ask: “ is this 2-3-4-5-6?” if not – apologize. • If a wrong- number call comes through don’t lose you temper. Simply say: “ Sorry, wrong number” – and hang up. Don’t bang the receiver. • Always identify yourself when making a call, especially if you are calling on business, e.g. “this is Mr. Smith from the Wonderland Travel Agency. Could I speak to Mr. Jones?” • If you have a visitor, do not carry on a long chat while your visitor tries hard to avoid listening to your conversation.

21. Special diets Today more and more people take care of their health. One of the ways to be healthy is keeping a special diet. Slimmers diet. People who are slimming should eat low-calorie food. They shouldn’t have too much fatty or oily foods (like meat or chips) or carbohydrates (bread, pasta, potatoes, or sweet deserts ). People with some diseases also have to keep a diet. Diabetic diet. if a person has diabetes, they must watch their weight. Having too many carbohydrates can cause an attack, so it’s better to cut down on sugar, chocolate, ice-cream or cakes and substitute them with fruit and vegetables. Gastric ulcer diet. A lot of people living in big cities have gastritis. In some cases it can lead to an ulcer. People with any gastric problems have to cut down on fatty and oily products and avoid smoked, fried, pickled or spicy foods. Alcohol is also forbidden. One more reason for keeping a diet is people’s believes.

22. Vegetarian and vegan diet. Vegetarians believe it’s cruel to kill animals for food so they avoid eating meat, fish or poultry. Demi-vegetarians don’t eat red meat but they may have fish or poultry. There are also people who don’t eat any products of animal origin – meat, fish, poultry, eggs or dairy products. These people are vegans or full vegetarians. There are also some religious diets. Muslim and Jewish diets. Most Muslims and Jews don’t eat pork, ham or bacon, shellfish or fish without fins or scales (like eel) because these foods are ‘not clean’ for these religions. Animals must be killed according to religious ritual and under religious supervision – Halal meat for Muslims and kosher food for Jews. Muslims aren’t allowed to drink alcohol. Jewish people must keep meat and dairy products separate and mustn’t eat them at the same meal. For example, in Israel in many house there are two cookers for preparing milk and meat separately, and two sections in the sink for doing a separate washing-up. Hindu and Buddhist diets. Hinduists mustn’t eat beef or veal. The cow is sacred for them because it gives people milk and considered to bring wealth. Lost of Hindus and Buddhists don’t eat meat at all. Their religion says that killing animals is a sin. That’s why they keep a vegetarian diet of fruit, vegetables, rice, nuts, herbs and spices.
