Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating. It would be nice of you to help your host in any way. Maybe offer to pour some drinks or clear up after the meal.

It is OK to make up white lies. That doesn’t mean you are dishonest. 3 , it may make both you and the other person pleased and comfortable.
When 4 to a party or some other events that you do not want to take part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That’s very kind of you.” In this way you can not only refuse 5 but make the person who invited you feel comfortable.
When you don’t want to lie, just tell the 6 . You may say like this, “I want to spend more time on myself, 7 I’ve decided to say‘no’to these activities.” In this way, people will see that you respect yourself, and as a result they’ll also pay you 8 respect.
My last suggestion is to just do it. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but this is not the reason for 9 “no”. Never make anything more complicated (复杂的)than it is.

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23 +12+5+4+7+5="96," while love: 12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
