Standing in the queue
English people like to form queue.They think it is the fair way to behave.People wait in a queue in shops and at bus stops.People will think you are very rude if you don't join the queue.
Please,Thank You,Excuse Me and Sorry
It is good manners to say"please"and"thank you".If someone is in your way and you would like them to move,say"excuse me"and they will move.If you bump into someone or you are in their way say"sorry".They will probably say"sorry",too,even if it was your mistake.Saying"sorry"does not always mean you think you were wrong.Someone it is just a polite thing to say.
Meeting a new person
When people meet for the first time,the usual custom is to shake hands.The next time you meet that person,you can just say hello.English people don't usually hug or kiss unless they know each other really well.
Talking to people
English people find it difficult to start conversations with strangers.They like to be private so if they are on buses or trains,they usually sit as far away from other people as possible.If you want to start a conversation,the topic that English people are always happy to talk about is the weather.So you need to be able to say"Isn't it warm (sunny/windy/wet/foggy) today?"or"Do you think it's going to rain/clear up?"This is much better than asking about politics,religion or how much people earn!
