First,be on time.To be a polite guest,be sure to get there on time.Being latte as well
as being too early is impolite.If you can't get there on time,make a call as early as possible.
12 People in different countries have different ways of greeting each other.In
Britain and the United States,people are supposed to shake hands when they meet for the
first time.For friends,they may choose a hug.In France,greeting with a kiss is very
common.
Third,mind table manners.When having dinner,you should behave properly. 13
You should use the serving utensil(公用餐具)in the bowl.And you can't try to talk with
your mouth full.Be careful not to make much noise when cutting things with your knife.
Fourth,keep a proper talking distance.Generally,one metre between each other is
perfect in Britain. 14 People will feel uncomfortable when they are too close to each other
or too far from each other.
Last,prepare a small gift. 15 If there are children,some chocolates will be nice.
As the saying goes,“ When in Rome,do as the Romans do.” It's just the key to being a
polite guest abroad.
