Some British people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be sad if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you!

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p. m. and end at about 11 p. m. Ask your hosts(主人) what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring some flowers, chocolate or a bottle of wine (酒) as a gift.

Usually dinners start with drinks. Do you want to be polite? Say how much you like the room or the pictures on the wall. But remember—it's not polite to ask how much things cost.
