You should arrive on time or  5 minutes late. Don't get there early. If you are going to be there  6 fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell the host and hostess. Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don't know  7 to use the fork(叉子), the knife, or the spoon, just watch  8 and follow them. You can also ask someone next to you. If you like the food, say so. Of course, you will thank the host and the hostess  9 the meal and for their kindness. It's good to send a card or a “thank you” note the   10 day.
