The customs in different countries are rather different . If I have dinner with a Chinese host ,

he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it . That often discomforts me greatly . I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to , because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate . I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party , he very often refuses the offer of food or drink . In the United States , it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something . Americans have a direct way of speaking . If they want something , they will ask for it . If not , they will say , “No ; thanks .” When an American doesn’t want beer , for example , he might say , “No , thanks . I’ll take some Diet Pepsi-Cola if you have it . ”

That is what an American will do .
