Table Manners
All societies have customs about how to eat politely. In English, we call these customs “table manners”. Based on culture and location, table
manners can be quite different from place to place. It's very interesting! Here are some examples:
In some cultures, it's polite to serve food to guests, while in other cultures, people don't do this because it makes the guests feel like they are being forced to eat.
In most East Asian countries, people use chopsticks at the table. In Western countries, people usually eat with a knife and a fork. Do you know that in some places people simply use their hands to eat And in some places, only their right hand
In Russia, it's polite to leave a bit of food on your plate to show the host that there was plenty to eat. But in India, finishing the food on your plate is considered polite. It means you enjoyed the food.
Throughout the world, you will find many different table manners and customs. So when you visit another place or another country, take the time to learn the local customs and manners. Remember, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
What are some good manners in your hometown What else do you know about table manners Write about it.
Example：
In my hometown, it's polite to serve food to our guests.
It's rude to put your elbows on the table in my city.
Talking when you have food in your mouth is really rude.
It's not polite to use a toothpick at the table.
