If you want to have a meal,you will go to the .——青夏教育精英家教网—

　　“In my country, men usually go to restaurants on their own．They always take their shoes off before they go in．Then they usually sit on the floor around a small, low table．In the evening they often sing songs．”

　　“You usually take chocolates or flowers．But you always take an odd number of flowers, and you remove the paper before you give them to the hostess．You can also send flowers before you arrive．you don’t usually take wine except when you visit very close friends．”

　　“We always offer our guests something to drink when they arrive, tea, coffee or perhaps water or soft drinks．We think it is polite to accept a drink even if you’re not thirsty．If you visit someone you always stay for a few drinks．When you have had enough to drink, you tap your cup or put your hand over it．If you say no, your host will insist that you have more to drink．”

　　“People’s private lives are very important so they never ask you personal questions about your family or where you live or your job．They never talk about religion or matters of finance, education or politics, but usually stay with safe subjects like the weather, films, plays, books and restaurants．”

　　“It’s difficult to know when to leave, but an evening meal usually lasts about three or four hours．When the host serves coffee, this is sometimes a sign that the evening is nearly over, but you can have as much coffee as you want．”

　　“If the invitation says eight o’clock then we arrive exactly at eight．With friends we know well, we sometimes arrive about fifteen minutes before．”

　　“Obviously it depends on the occasion, but most dinner parties are informal．The men don’t usually wear a suit, but they may wear a jacket and tie．Women are usually smart but casual．”

Dear Jane and Bob,

I’m writing to invite you both to my 15th birthday party on Saturday, June 14th. I’m having a meal in a restaurant with a few friends and then we’ll have a party at my house. I would love you both to come if you can. If you need a place to stay for the night, you can sleep on the floor in our sitting room but bring a sleeping bag, please! Haha, it’s only a joke. If you want to stay at my home for a night, please tell me. I will prepare it for you.

The meal is at Mama Mia’s, a good Italian restaurant. It begins at 7:30 p.m. You can take the train which leaves London, Liverpool Street at 5:00 p.m. and arrives in Cambridge at 6:45 p.m. Then we will have the birthday party at my house at about 8:30 p.m. My mother will make a birthday cake and some snacks for us. I think they must be very delicious. I heard that you have some nice CDs, could you please bring them to my party and enjoy the music with us? I believe we will have a good time.

Hope you can come!

Yours

Debbie

Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was!
At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. "Yes," I said, '1 want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that's nice. Are you getting married?" he asked. "No," I replied, "I just want to tell him I have arrived." "Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs on the first floor." "But we're on the first floor now," I said.
"Well, I don't know what you are talking about Maybe you aren't feeling too well after your journey," he said. "Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better." And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?
At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say "to give someone a call", but we English say "to give somebody a ring". When we say "to wash your hands", they say "to wash up". And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
