观看演出是一种高雅的娱乐活动,所以人们的服饰都非常正式和庄重,就像出席正式宴会那样。迟到了打扰别人是很不礼貌的,所以许多剧院和音乐厅演出一开始后,迟到的人要等到幕间休息时才允许进场。观看演出时,不可谈话,不可大声咳嗽或是打哈欠,更不可打瞌睡甚至打呼噜;演出场地禁止吸烟和吃带皮带壳的食物;演出时不要乱鼓掌,不可叫好,更不可吹口哨。演出进行时,观众一般不可退场。还有一点要注意的是观看演出时如果随身携带移动电话(mobile phone)之类的通讯工具,应将其关闭,免得它们发出声音干扰演出,更不可以拿出移动电话旁若无人地接打电话。

一天中,你可能几次地通过电话询问旅行事宜。电话可以节省时间和金钱。如果你想询问时间表或核查价格,如果你想乘火车、

汽车或飞机,你就可以打电话查出时间、价格和其他信息,以便进行预订。如果你想买衣服,你就可以在到市中心前打电话询问一下商店会营业到几点。电话随时随地都可打。还有付费电话(或公用电话),你投币之后就可以打了,旅行时是很方便的。

总体来说,要想在发达国家找一部公用电话是非常容易的。

公用电话经常安装在以下场所:公共汽车站、火车站、飞机场、商店、饭店、加油站、许多街角以及大多数的写字楼。

叫人电话只能是你叫的那个人接听。所以,如果那个人不在,你不需要付费。然而叫人电话和对方付费的电话较直拨电话更贵一些,因为接线员得付出额外劳动。在对方付费电话中,交钱的是接听的人而非打电话的人。

在我们外出旅游时,照相机是必备品(indispensable equipment)

。它越来越普及,用法越来越简单。前些年,不是每个人都能买得起照相机,也不是所有人都会用。我们若独自旅行,请别人替我们拍照时,还得费力地解释如何操作。现在,我们带着全自动相机,只需请别人按一下钮。

务必要注意有些场所(军事基地等)禁止摄影。由于有些国家很注重个人的肖像权(portraiture right),想拍素不相识的人时,

最好先征得对方的同意。
