题目内容
If you stay in an Indian home，bring something from your home country as a gift.Although it is not expected，it would be much pleasant.But find out the social position and religion（宗教）of your hosts before you choose the gift.A bottle of foreign whisky would be the perfect gift for some，but not at all suitable for others.If you know the people you are going to stay with，it is a good idea to ask them what they would like.Some things are just not available（可获得的，可购到）in India.
It is not necessary to bring a gift when you are invited to dinner.After all，you are the honored guest.Several years ago，it was almost unpleasant to bring sweets or a bottle of wine.But this is not true today.Nowadays it is a custom which is becoming popular with many Indians.Fruit，flowers or a box of sweets are perfect gifts，and will make no one unhappy.

If you want to find a conversation topic in India，talk about families.Another useful subject to start with is cricket（板球）.But once you get to know a person better，any topic is acceptable.Indians love to talk about politics and religion.They enjoy heated discussions.Conversation is an art form and people take the time to really talk.
