In Britain you may often hear "Drop in any time" or "Come to see me soon", but you can't really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says "RSVP", you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go. You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying "Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come." If after accepting, you are unable to go， be sure to tell those as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to the host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate or a small gift are all appropriate (合适的).A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is a proper way to express your appreciation (感i^) for the invitation.

Peter Owen has been making wigs (假发)since the 1980s. He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies, including Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow, and Nicole Kidman in The Others. One of his biggest jobs so far has been designing the hair and make-up (化妆)for the three Lord of the Rings movies. He had just six weeks to design and make more than a hundred wigs, each one a different style, colour, shape and length.

The hair and make-up in a movie are just as important as the costumes or the sets (布景).Over the years, Peter has made actors look older, younger, healthy and sick. For one movie he even made a female actor look like a man! "What people don't realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful," he says. "Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary."

All Peter's wigs are hand-made using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive—between US$4,500 and US$12,500 each! He knows he's done a good job when people don't realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed (染色) her hair dark brown for a movie. "It was a wig and no one knew that," he says.

Comedian (喜居lj演员)David Brenner tells of the time he tried to keep away from talking to the stranger in the next seat on a flight from Los Angeles to New York.
