In the United States, it is important to be punctual for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. This may not be true in all countries, however.【R1】______The two-hour class was due to begin at 10:00 am, and end at 12:00 am. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:00 am. Several arrived after 10:30 am. Another two students came after 11:00 am.【R2】______Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to the American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and formal situation: lunch with a friend, and a university class, respectively.【R3】______If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. 【R4】______
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.【R5】______Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but they also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon, many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.
【R6】______People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time.【R7】______Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry. As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him.【R8】______Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior to feel comfortable in the new culture.
A. The explanation for these differences is complicated.
B. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react.
C. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university.
D. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness.
E. In contrast in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.
F. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
G Instead, they were simply behaving the appropriate way for a Brazilian student in Brazil.
H. In fact Brazilians expect a person with status of prestige to arrive late, while in the United States, lateness is usually considered to be disrespectful and unacceptable.
