Unit 6 Section A 3a

Sam: What’s wrong, Hongli?

Hongli: I’m having dinner at my friend’s house tonight. But English table manners are so confusing that I’m a little worried.

Sam: Well, I’m from London. Ask me anything!

Hongli: Thanks! Well, first, should I bring something?

Sam: Yes. Bring a small gift, but don’t bring food unless the host asks you to. And remember to wait for the host to start before you eat.

Hongli: Good to know! Could you tell me the proper way to use a knife and fork too?

Sam: Just hold the knife in your right hand, and the fork in your left. If you get confused, watch what everyone else does.

Hongli: OK. Anything else?

Sam: Hmm. After the meal, thank the host and say that everything was delicious. And, most importantly ...            

Hongli: Yes?

Sam: Enjoy yourself!

Hongli: Thanks, I will!
