Table manners are the rules of etiquette(礼仪) followed while eating a meal. They include how to use a knife, a fork and a spoon and how to eat with good manners.

The travel guidebook publisher, Lonely Planet, has collected some etiquette tips for you.

Russia

★ Keep your hands in sight(视野). It is not good manners to put them on your lap(膝). Keep your arms off the table.

★ Your wrists should be placed on the table while eating. Hold your fork in your left hand and knife in the right.

★ Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat. Or the host will ask if you’d like to have more.

Portugal(葡萄牙)

★ Cooks are highly respected in Portugal.

★ Place your napkin(餐巾) on your lap, and don’t eat with your fingers.

★ Don’t ask for salt or pepper if it is not on the table. Asking for any kind of flavoring will make the cook unhappy.

Mexico

★ Whenever you catch the eyes of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “Provecho”, which means “enjoy”.

★ Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you should say “Enjoy your meal.” Before you leave the table.

★ In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion---lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours.

Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people. But if we think about what is going on in our lives, we can usually come up with an answer. Let’s look at some of the most common dreams. What are the meanings of these dreams?

Falling

You’re falling, falling, falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something. Maybe you’re not doing well in school or work.

Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)

You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Scientists say this dream may mean you’re being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.

Flying

Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.

Trying to run, but going nowhere

You’re trying to run, but either of your legs won’t move or you simply aren’t going anywhere. Some scientists think this dream means you’re trying to do too many things at once and can’t catch up or move forward.

In fact, unlike these dreams, there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain.
