I don't live in the UK, but there are taboos like swearing, open discrimination and talking about sex or death.

Have you discussed euphemism and how it tries to cover up these taboos? Like for instance when people say "He passed away" instead of "He died", etc.

You could have a presentation discussing why there are certain things we try to cover up using softer language, instead of being entirely out in the open about things.

I don't know if this helped, but good luck anyway! :D

I find myself discussing the weather far too often when I'm in Britain.

Taboo topics would probably be talking about race if you're white. As an Asian, I've noticed that particularly white people become très uncomfortable when talking about race and racism in general.

Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

Ohhh , it can be taken into account .

Thanks btw

Maybe i don't make an explanation clearly about my topic ,

Actually were gonna make it in different way

We will be a tourism agency , and our classmates are possibly tourists who will further studying in Britain .

So we will tell them do's and dont's which is assumed as taboos .

We have decided to take some significant aspects .

And we're still thinking it .

Maybe some of u can give me ideas ?
