So its necessary for you to know what you can talk about with the local people in France, Australia and Switzerland, and different customs of these countries.In FranceYoull find that conversations often turn into heated debates. Give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about. There is rarely a moment of silence, except when the topic under discussion has been exhausted, and nothing new has been introduced.Food, art, music and current events or history are welcome topics. French believe in freedom, and you can criticize (批评) anyone, but not Napoleon, who is the symbol of French spirit and never use the standard USA conversation opener “What do you do？”In AustraliaAustralians tend to be enthusiastic debaters. A wide range of topics may be open to discussion, including religion and politics.

Australians like to criticize themselves, but they cant stand (忍受) criticism from others. Dont talk big. Instead, Australians prefer to judge your competence and abilities through your actions. People who show off their education in conversation may be subject to teasing.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss may seem cold. Once you get close to them, however, youll find that they are honest, responsible people, who will be loyal to your interests.They are good listeners and will remember practically everything you say to them.
