#### Упражнение 3 (THINK!)
> *In my opinion, it is extremely important to learn about the customs and traditions of a country before visiting it. Firstly, being aware of local etiquette helps you avoid awkward situations and prevents you from unintentionally offending the local people. Secondly, showing respect for local culture and manners makes locals friendlier and more welcoming, ensuring a much smoother and more enjoyable travel experience. As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."*

#### Упражнение 5 (ICT Portfolio: Leaflet)
```text
============================================================
WELCOME TO RUSSIA: MIND YOUR MANNERS!
============================================================
★ TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES!
Always remove your outdoor shoes when you enter a Russian home.
Your host will likely offer you a pair of "tapochki" (slippers).
★ BE POLITE ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT:
Always give up your seat on the metro or bus to the elderly,
pregnant women, or people with small children.
★ DON'T SHAKE HANDS ACROSS A THRESHOLD:
Wait until you are fully inside the house before greeting someone
with a handshake. Shaking hands across the doorway is considered bad luck!
★ FLOWER ETIQUETTE:
If you bring flowers to a host or a friend, always give an ODD number
(1, 3, 5, etc.). Even numbers are reserved strictly for funerals.
★ TABLE MANNERS:
Never leave an empty bottle on the dining table (put it on the floor),
and never decline a cup of tea when offered — it is a sign of hospitality!
============================================================
