Question

   How Americans eat is funny. They eat almost everything with forks. But how to use the fork is very important. When you have dinner with Americans,if you hold a knife in your right hand longer than a few seconds,they will think you have the bad table manners.

   If you must use the knife,you should take the fork in your left hand,and cut with it in your right hand. Then you put the knife down,take the fork with your right hand,and then put the food in your mouth. This is clearly funny,but it's good manners in America.

   You will see there is always one knife and two forks on the table when you visit your American friends. The outside fork is for the dinner. The inside fork is for the desserts. The knife is used for cutting meat. The spoon by your dessert is for coffee.[辽宁建平县改编]
