A
If you are an American and going to visit Britain,here are some manners you should pay attention to before going there.
It would be easier to cut food when the knife is in your dominant (支配的) hand.After the food is cut,Americans usually put down the knife and eat with their dominant hand.Brits,on the other hand,hold the fork in their non dominant hand and take a bite.
Americans usually cut up several pieces of meat before actually eating.Then,once the fork is in the dominant hand,it's easy to take a few bites without changing back.But it's bad manners to cut the food into many small pieces in Britain.
Eating on the go is common in the United States,where people eat their food quickly.However,in Britain,people don't just eat.They sit down to have a relaxing meal,chatting with their beloved ones and fully digesting (消化) their food.They also think it is the perfect time to teach their kids good manners.
You'll probably never enter a British person's home without the host asking if you want a cup of tea or water.Offering a drink is good manners in the United States,too,but the host often forgets it.
Brits are generous (慷慨的) with how many times they say “sorry”,“please”,and “thank you”.Don't get lazy with those basic manners.For example,when ordering at a restaurant,don't just say “I'll take a hamburger.”,but show the server some respect and ask,“May I please have a hamburger?”

Table manners are very different in every country.For example,when you are in England you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth.This is very impolite.But when you are in Japan this is completely normal.Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of eating your soup.And also in Japan you don't have to worry about making a noise when you drink it.It just shows that you really like the food!But it is not the same in Britain,so you shouldn't make a noise when eating there.
In Britain,people don't put their hands or arms on the table during the meal.But in Mexico,guests keep their hands on the table all the time.In fact,you should watch what your hands do very carefully.In Arab countries,it is impolite when you eat with your left hand,so don't do it!In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating.
In Ukraine you should not start eating first;you should wait for all the others to start eating with you.You also have to say “Please” and “Thank you” every time you ask for and get something.If you don't like some food,don't make faces and don't say,“Yuk!I hate that!” The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.
