Dear Rose,

  How are you?

  I like your programmes very much. They're very interesting and I can learn a lot from them. I like traveling and I have won a free four-week trip to England, but I know little about the British way of life. Would you please write to tell me something about the British meals?

  Thank You.

Yours,

Wang Lin

Dear Wang Lin,

  It's very helpful to know something about the British meals before traveling. In many English houses, people eat four meals a day. They are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.

  Breakfast takes place at any time from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning. They usually have eggs, bread with butter (黄油) , cheese and so on. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast. Lunch comes at one o'clock. It cap be a hamburger or a threecourse (三道菜) meal. Afternoon tea is between 4:00 pin and 5:00 pm. Dinner begins at about half past seven. The first course is soup. The next is often meat or fish with vegetables. Then comes fruit of different kinds: apples, pears, bananas and so on.

  But not all English people eat like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. And all these meals are usually simple. Wish you a good time in England!

Yours,

Rose

Letter A

Dear Rose,

I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes.

Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

                        Wang Lin

Letter B

Dear Wang Lin,

It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.
