Cultural Competence I

Every week I will be posting 4 statements or situations that are often confusing for the EFL students, but typical for the Anglophone world.
With each next set, I will be posting the answers to the previous one, so those of you who teach English as a foreign language (and perhaps as a second language) can make a sort of a weekly game for your classes.

1. When do you use the phrase "how do you do?" and what should you answer if someone addresses you like that?
2. In what type of situations should you use "sorry"?
3. What should be a typical reply to a compliment?
4. Why is everything offered just once in an English-speaking (especially the USA) country?
