It can't be truer that when in Rome do as the Romans do. So it's necessary for you to know what you can talk with the local people in France，Australia and Switzerland，and different customs of these countries.

In France

You'll find that conversations often turn into heated debates. Give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about. There is rarely a moment of silence，except when the topic under discussion has been exhausted, and nothing new has been introduced.

Food,art,music and current events or history are welcome topics. French believe in freedom, and you can criticize anyone，but not Napoleon，who is a symbol of French spirit and never use the standard U.S. conversation opener "What do you do?”.

In Australia

Australians tend to be enthusiastic debaters. A wide range of topics may be open to discussion,including religion and politics. The best policy, however,is to wait for Australian companions to bring up these two subjects;be prepared to hear their arguments.

Sport is a common topic of conversation in Australia and Australians tend to use sporting comparisons. Australians like to criticize themselves,but they can't stand criticism from others. Don't talk big;instead Australians prefer to judge your competence and abilities through your actions. People who show off their education in conversation may be subject to teasing.
