When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat.But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．
●Think about the time you call people.Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）. Also try not to call at mealtimes．
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions.Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite．
●When in a restaurant with your friends,keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practice speaking in a low voice.If no one looks your way, you’ve got it．
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you.Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”（振动）and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.

In the eyes of many foreigners , Chinese are the best hosts（主人）and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests , but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries , it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China , guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home , there is always fruit on the table for me , and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west , generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother , a very kind elderly Chinese lady , doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house , as a non-smoker , I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly , but I must realize that in China , to be a good host , she must not do that. In most North American homes , if you are a guest , and the hosts are not smokers , you should not smoke in their house. At the very least , you could ask , “ Is it OK if I smoke?” But , don’t be surprised if they say , “ No , you can’t smoke. ” In our culture , if you smoke in their home , you are a bad guest , but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house , they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese , so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However , giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So , if you invite international guests to your home , don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.
In China , you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host , and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house , try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
