Exercise 24 Read the text and write out all participles. Define the forms of them

People living in Japan have some customs different from ours. For example, we wipe our washed faces with dry towels; they wipe their faces with wet towels. Entering houses our men take off their hats, the Japanese take off their shoes. We give presents when arriving, they leave them when departing. When in mourning¹ we wear black, they wear white. We frown² when being scolded³, they smile. When we say that Japanese are strange people, they could reply, ‘The same to you’.

¹ mourning – співчуття

² frown – супимо брови

³ when being scolded – коли нас лають
