Dining Etiquette(礼仪)in Venezuela(委内瑞拉)

  In Venezuela, there are some special rules of etiquette that people usually follow when they are dining. You need to keep in mind the following things:

  ·None of the guests should talk with just one person. The conversation should be with everybody. In addition, it should be related to topics interesting for both men and women.

  ·In a formal dinner, the guest is never served more than once. The only thing that can be served more than once is the dessert, the liquor , and the wind.

  ·It is not polite to refuse a plate. If you don’t want something, just eat a small portion.

  It’s important to_______________________

  ·The first plate (the appetizer开胃小吃)should always be served on a separate plate.

  ·The silverware should be placed in the same order that it will be used: the first one much farther away from the plate and the last one much nearer the plate. The forks or the desserspoons can be placed on the table when the dessert is served.

  ·The wine and water glasses are placed in front of the plate to the right of each guest. The water glass is on the left side. When we serve the coffee and liquors, we should bring the bottles and the glasses on a tray.

  ·Finally, as a sign of good taste, we usually offer the guests a little humid towel with water and lemon so they can clean their hands, even if they never get their fingers dirty during the meal. This should be done after the dessert is finished.

  By following these little rules, you will be successful at your dinner, as a guest or as a hostess.

  “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

  That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.

  With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some. people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

  All children soon learn what “Don't touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.

  The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

  There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on our skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

  Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things for visitors to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

  If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
