“Oh ,no!Here I am at an American family`s home at the dinner table.There are all kinds of plates,dishes ,cups and silverware at my place,Which should I use for which food?Should I sit down first or wait for the host to invite me?Should I bring a gift?Someone please tell me what to do!"
Have you ever been in or had a terrible dream about this situation?Don`t worry!This article will help you.It is important to know what kind of occasion you will be attending,Most Americans enjoy entertaining at home,but they don`t enjoy boring,tormal dinners,If,however,you are invited to a formal affair,such as a so-called "sit-down"dinner,you need know some necessary rules of "black tie"etiquette.Bfore arriving at your host`s home,you should make sure of three things,First ,be a few minutes late,say,about five to ten minutes if possible.Never be early ,as the host may not have everything prepared yet,Next ,as to whether to bring a gift ,in most informal fathering,it is not necessary .If you like,you can bring some fruit or sweets ,or,espercially if there is a hostess,some flowers.Above all,do not spend a lot of money,and never give money.Finally,wear vomfortable clothing.For example,at Chiristmas,a tie and jacket would be suitable for the gentlemen and a dress or sweater and skirt for the ladies,The most important piece of advice is this:enjoy yourself.No host enjoys seeing nervous or fearful guests who are struggling to"do the right thing"at his home
