In all of the four countries， it is best to dress formally （正式地） and use dark colors. In Russia， designed clothes are very common. Dont be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have “dressdown Friday”， when people wear casual clothes （休閑裝）.

In conversation， the British and the Americans value （重視） humor， and both like to talk about sports. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British， but avoid talking about politics. In Russia， say positive things about their country， but avoid making complaints.
