　　Contacts（交往） between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty
　　years， business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in
　　Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.
　　Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business， however， often bewilder¹ the foreign businessman and make
　　doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
　　The American businessman， for example ， wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does not
　　wait. The Japanese， on the other hand ， likes to arrive at decisions gradually² after giving them a great deal of thought.
　　Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty³ in understanding is when a Japanese means⁴ “Yes” or “No”。 This is because
　　of cultural difference for a Japanese to say “No” directly⁵.
　　In English， it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”。 To
　　refuse an invitation or a request with “No”， or a similar phrase⁶， is felt to be impolite⁷. It is thought to be selfish⁸（自私）
　　and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly， the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying “No”。 These
　　enable⁹ them to avoid hurting other people’s feeling. However， this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult
　　for foreigners to understand and follow.

　　as we got there， we began to work. First we collected the rubbish on the river bank. Then we put up notices to tell people
