Around the' world, people have different ideas about what good manners（文明礼貌）are.

　　When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world, it' important to know the right and wrong things to do. For example, in China it's OK to make a lot of noise in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant isn't noisy and lively（热闹的、繁忙的）, you may think there's something wrong with it. However, in many western countries, restaurants are quiet places. If a table is too loud, other people who are eating there might even complain to（向……抱怨）the owner（主人）of the restaurant.

　　Paying the bill is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everybody. In western countries, one person pays if he or she is entertaining clients（宴请宾客）,but when friends eat together, they usually share the cost（费用）. This is called“going dutch”（均摊费用）. Also,

when westerners pay the bill, they usually leave some money for the waiter（服务员）. This is called “leaving a tip”（给小费）. Leaving a tip is thought to be polite. In the US, It's common to leave tips of 10％, 15％, or 20％of the bill, which is decided by how good the service（服务）is. Good waiters can make a lot of money !

　　The way people. eat food is different in the world, but you can find the same kinds of food in many countries. Chinese and Italian food, for example, are popular all over the world.
