bring a friend to the party. 【查看更多】

　 Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you.

　 Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts（主人）what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.

　 Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks（小吃）. If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember－it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.

　 In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.

　 You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert（甜点心）, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.

　 Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank, thank you” all the time!

Dear Wang Lin,
    It's a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice or
you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to
ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should
call and tell them.
     Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch
the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.
      If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It's also
a good idea to send a thank you card the day after.
