Dear Wang,
I learned that you would give a dinner party next month with some American friends. That would be interesting. I think you can cook something that would let you spend time with your guests. If a guest offers(提供) to help you in the kitchen, accept it. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help. I know making dumplings is a tradition in your country, and everyone can help. Why not try it
Before serving dinner, offer your guests drinks while your guests make small talks in the living room. Make sure you have soft drinks for people who don’t drink wine.
At the dinner table, let your guests serve themselves. Offer them a second serving after they finish, but don’t ask more than once or twice because most guests will take more themselves if they want it.
The most important rule of all is to be natural. Treat your guests as you want them to treat you when you’re in their home. Don’t try too hard to be polite.
Well, I hope it will be a great party! If you need any help, please let me know.
Yours,
Mary

“Oh, that’s terrible!” my sister Angel whispered (小声说) to me. “Do you see that lady over there She is talking with her mouth full.”
I glanced (瞥一眼) to my right. A woman was eating with some friends. She was in the middle of a talk. Her mouth was open wide while she laughed and chatted.
“You’re right. That’s terrible,” I whispered back.
Just then, our server came to the table to take our order. We each told him what we wanted from the menu.
While we were waiting for our food, our mom began a talk about manners.
“Kids,” she began, “I see you noticed that lady speaking with her mouth full, Did you like what you saw ” “No!” we answered.
“What is the right way to eat ”
“We should keep our mouth closed,” I said. “Can you think of any other ways to behave while at a restaurant ” My sister and I thought for a moment. Then Age l spoke up, “I guess we could keep our voices down, so we don’t interrupt others.” “That’s a good one,” Mom said. “Anything else ” “We can be sure to say kind things to the server, like ‘please’ and ‘thank you’,” I added. “Yes,” Angel continued. “And we can keep a napkin on our lap, and not reach across the table for food, and wipe our mouths with our napkins, and…”
Mom laughed and said, “It’s important that in public places, we realize that we are sharing space. Others come to a restaurant to enjoy good food and have a good time with other people. They can’t do that as well if someone is too loud or has terrible eating manners.” “We should be like that everywhere, not just in restaurants. Right, Mom ” Angel asked. “That’s correct.

Japanese people might cover one hand with the other and depending on whom they are greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India, Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim (穆斯林) will touch his heart, mouth and forehead to show respect. Even young people in the West now give each other the “high five”, when they slap each other’s hands high in the air. They are all keeping their hands busy. In almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand means, “Welcome, you are safe with me.”

Do you give gifts to your friends Just like Chinese, people in western countries give gifts on many vacations, such as on birthdays, at Christmas and some other holidays.

You might bring some candies or some small toys for the children, or a book, some flowers for your friend. If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring something from your hometown, like Chinese tea, Chinese paintings or other thing like that, or even you can cook a Chinese dish (一道菜) and bring it with you.
People in western countries like to open gifts at once and enjoy it. They would thank you and say something good about the gift so that you know they like your gift very much.

Wang Lin is going to invite some American friends to a dinner party, but she is not clear about American customs. She wrote to her friend, Mary, for advice. Here is Mary’s letter.
Dear Wang,
I learned that you would give a dinner party next month with some American friends. That would be interesting. I think you can cook something that would let you spend time with your guests. If a guest offers(提供) to help you in the kitchen, accept it. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help. I know making dumplings is a tradition in your country, and everyone can help. Why not try it
Before serving dinner, offer your guests drinks while your guests make small talks in the living room. Make sure you have soft drinks for people who don’t drink wine.
At the dinner table, let your guests serve themselves. Offer them a second serving after they finish, but don’t ask more than once or twice because most guests will take more themselves if they want it.
The most important rule of all is to be natural. Treat your guests as you want them to treat you when you’re in their home. Don’t try too hard to be polite.
Well, I hope it will be a great party! If you need any help, please let me know.
Yours,
Mary

Teaching good manners to kids is very important. It’s best to let them develop good table manners when they are young. So they can carry these when they grow up.
Good eating manners begin with good table manners. Tell your kids that dinner time is family time. There should be no mobile phones or text messages at the table. Instead, mealtime should be used for talking about family things.
Kids should say “please” and “thank you” when asking for things on the table. They should not reach over (越过) other people to get things that they want.
Teach your children not to eat with their mouths open or talk with their mouths full. If it’s hard for them to understand, try showing them how it looks and sounds. When they see this, they’ll understand how they look to other people. They should also eat slowly and take small bites (咬).
Washing hands before and after eating is important to health. When eating at a friend’s house, tell your kids to remember to thank the host for the meal. Let them put their own dishes in the sink after dinner. For elder children, they can help do the dishes.

Do you ever speak with your mouth full of food Do you talk on the phone loudly when you are on the bus or the train Do you jump the queue when you wait for the bus … If you do, then perhaps you should take etiquette and social skill (礼仪和社交技能) classes.

Children at this age want to be courteous. You can see that they’re trying.”
Maggie teaches the children how to speak on the phone and how to walk, as well as telling them about table manners. These classes have become popular because parents want well-mannered children but they are too busy to teach manners at home.
So, what do the children actually think of these classes The classes have been popular with most of the children, and their teachers at school have noticed that they are treating (对待) each other with more respect (尊重).

“Oh, that’s terrible!” my sister Angel whispered (小声说) to me. “Do you see that lady over there She is talking with her mouth full.”
I glanced (瞥一眼) to my right. A woman was eating with some friends. She was in the middle of a talk. Her mouth was open wide while she laughed and chatted.
“You’re right. That’s terrible,” I whispered back.
Just then, our server came to the table to take our order. We each told him what we wanted from the menu.
While we were waiting for our food, our mom began a talk about manners.
“Kids,” she began, “I see you noticed that lady speaking with her mouth full, Did you like what you saw ” “No!” we answered.
“What is the right way to eat ”
“We should keep our mouth closed,” I said. “Can you think of any other ways to behave while at a restaurant ” My sister and I thought for a moment. Then Age l spoke up, “I guess we could keep our voices down, so we don’t interrupt others.” “That’s a good one,” Mom said. “Anything else ” “We can be sure to say kind things to the server, like ‘please’ and ‘thank you’,” I added. “Yes,” Angel continued. “And we can keep a napkin on our lap, and not reach across the table for food, and wipe our mouths with our napkins, and…”
Mom laughed and said, “It’s important that in public places, we realize that we are sharing space. Others come to a restaurant to enjoy good food and have a good time with other people. They can’t do that as well if someone is too loud or has terrible eating manners.” “We should be like that everywhere, not just in restaurants. Right, Mom ” Angel asked. “That’s correct. If we treat others like how we wanted to be treated, we won’t interrupt or eat in ways that would be difficult to be looked at.”

In many cultures today, the Western custom of shaking hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually stronger than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, it cannot be holding a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, and that the other person can trust us.
Not all cultures use the handshake, and people in many Asian cultures do not always touch another person. The traditional greeting in China was to cover the left hand with the right and bow. Japanese people might cover one hand with the other and depending on whom they are greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India, Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim (穆斯林) will touch his heart, mouth and forehead to show respect. Even young people in the West now give each other the “high five”, when they slap each other’s hands high in the air. They are all keeping their hands busy. In almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand means, “Welcome, you are safe with me.”

If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person’s not asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the US, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍) of each other’s raised (举起的) right hands together.

China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.
When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also talk with you, never letting you feel lonely.

In Japan, greetings are very formal and respectful. People usually bow when meeting each other.

In India, people often greet each other by saying “Namaste” while pressing their hands together in front of their chest and bowing their head a little. It is both a sign of respect (尊敬) and a way to keep away from each other. In some parts of India, touching the feet of elders is a traditional greeting to show respect and wish for good luck.
