      In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning.  If you telephone
him early in the day, while he is taking a shower or having breakfast, the time of the call shows the matter
is very important and requires attention at once. If someone receives a call after 11:00 pm, he thinks it is
a matter of life and death.  The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
      In social life,   time   plays  a  very  important part.   In  the  USA, guests will feel they are not highly
regarded if the invitation  to  a dinner party is only three or four days before the party date.  But it is not
true in all countries.  In  other  areas of  the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment
too early because plans that are made for a date more than a week away will be forgotten. The meaning
of time is different in different parts of the world. Therefore, misunderstandings appear between people
from different cultures that treat time differently. Being on time is thought of highly  in  American  life.  If
people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite. 
In  the  USA,  keeping  business  companies
waiting for an hour is too impolite.  A  person  is  expected to say sorry when he is 5 minutes late. lf he is
less than 5 minutes late, he  will  say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the
sentence.

a family for two weeks. Now the most important thing is money. You should take about £30 in cash (現(xiàn)金)
