As the old saying goes, do as the Romans do. But do you know the western dining table customs (习俗)? We know the westerners like to plan their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead (提前). But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served (招待) at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time. And don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little gifts to your friend, such as flowers, chocolate and so on. At dinner, if you don’t know what to do, you should also observe some other people. Here I’ll give you some matters about them needing attention (注意) in the following:

★Don’t leave bones (骨头) on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)

★Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.

★Don’t talk with much food in your mouth.

★Don’t ask others to have more wine (酒). (This is quite different from that in China.)

★After dinner, use your napkin (纸巾) to clean your mouth and hands.

★Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.
