Lòng hiếu khách - chăm sóc khách du lịch - là phổ biến nhưng trong các nền văn hoá khác nhau thì chủ nhà sẽ đón khách theo những cách khác nhau.
Trong nhiều thế giới cổ đại, nó là một tục lệ khi cung cấp thức ăn và nước cho khách du lịch. Ngày nay, một số phong tục cũ vẫn sót lại. Trong một gia đình Nhật Bản truyền thống, nếu một vị khách thích một vật thể đặc biệt trong nhà, chủ nhà sẽ đưa nó cho khách ngay. Và vẫn còn điển hình ở một phần của Nga khi chào đón khách với bánh mì và muối trên một tấm vải đặc biệt. Khách được yêu cầu hôn chúng và đưa chúng trở lại với chủ nhà. Đôi khi khách bẻ nhỏ bánh mì, nhúng nó trong muối và ăn nó.
Ở một số quốc gia, khi khách nước ngoài đến từ nước ngoài, họ có thể cảm thấy họ được thưởng thức một bữa ăn khó tiêu. Nhưng điều này có lẽ là vì chủ nhà lịch sự mang ra nhiều thức ăn và đồ uống, và khách rất xấu hổ để từ chối bất cứ thứ gì.

From the next year, every student in their final rear at our school will study for a compulsory Diploma of Practical Achievement. This will be in addition to the normal examinations. Up to now, the course has been optional, but from now on every student must (31)_________it.
The aim is to (32)__________ students with "life skills", which the Diploma divides into eight categories. These cover a range of things relevant to life beyond school, from sending an e-mail to giving presentation to an audience. Under the heading "survival", (33)_______, students can learn car mainternance, first aid and cooking. We have discovered that many students cannot do simple things such as mend a puncture or boil an egg. At the other extreme, the Diploma includes such things as how to design a webpage and how to cope if someone has a heart attack. It has been called a " Diploma in Common Sense".
On the course, students will not be taught in the traditional (34)__________, but rather will be guided and encouraged to do things for themselves. This is above all a practical "hand-on" course. To a greater or lesser extent, good schools have always tried to (35)__________these skills. Unfortunately, students have not always shown much interest because such skills are not directly related to passing exams for higher education. We hope this will change now that we have a proper course that will lead to a recognised diploma.
