In the front of many American homes you can see a mat(腳墊).This mat is sometimes called “welcome mat”, because many of the mats have the word “welcome” on them.

Because Americans don’t take off their shoes before going into the house, they need a welcome mat to clean their shoes. If the children don’t clean their shoes on the mat, they may be scolded(被責(zé)罵) by their parents. If you go to an American home, please remember to clean your shoes on the mat, or you may be told to do so.“Different countries, different customs(習(xí)俗).”
