I hated dinner parties .But I decided to give them another shot because I’m  in London. And my friend Mallery invited me . And because dinner parties in London are very different from those  in New York,  “I’m having a dinner party ” means : “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant  you can’t afford ang we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly , no matter what you eat.” Wors , in  Manhattan there  is  always someone who  leaves before  the  bill arrives  .They’ll throw  down cash, half of what  they owe, and then people like me, who don’t  drink, end  up paying even  more . But if try to use the same  trick  , the hostess will shout; “Where are you going ?” And it’s not like I can  say I have somewhere to go : everyone knows I have  nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner patise are in people’s homes . Not only that, the guests  are an interesting  mix .The last time I went to one , the guests were from France , India ,Denmark and  Nigeria; it was like a gathering  at the United Nations . In New York ,the mix is less striking . It’s  like a gathering at Bloomingdat=le’s , a well-known de partment  store.

For New Yorkers, talking ,talking  about  other  parts  of the world  means Brooklyn  and Queens in New Yorkers.But at Mallery’s ,when I side that I had been to Myanmar recently, peo ple knew where it was , In New Yorkers people would think it was a usual culb.

(1)           You are in a beautiful place enjoying the landscape,maybe fishing ,but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted by the noisy sound of a cell phone !Cell phone are everywhere,and some people don’t know what the limits of cell phone use are.

(2)           Nowadays,that’s the biggest problem.People disturb other people,first with the ringing of their cell phones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly.Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations.

(3)           People need to-learn how to use cell phones correctly.If there is an emergency,cell phone  are acceptable;but remember that just a few years ago few people had cell phones and the whole society survived! Nowadays people can’t seem to live__________..They talk in restaurants,in restrooms,in ears,in hospitals,and at parties.It's incredible!

(4)           It's like smoking.Just as people don’t want to be bothered by smokers。they don’t want to be disturbed by cell phone talkers.Our society has to learn to respect other people.It would be great if loud talking was seen as really bad manners.The u8e of cell phones must be restricted in places such as cinemas,theatres,museums,classrooms,and hospitals.

(5)           Nowadays,people just laugh when a cell phone rings in these places ,but it’s Just the beginning,SO in the future I think things are going to change.They should have got tickets when they use them in inappropriate places,like people get parking tickets when they park in inappropriate places .So,we have to write some rules to restrict,or even prohibit,cell phone use in some places.New rules of etiquette(礼仪)are needed for new behaviors in our lives such as using cell phonesIt's going to have to be part 0f our education in t}le future
