【题目】How to Be a Nice Guest

Do you want to be a nice guest? Read the following five top tips:

【1】—if you are in a formal（正式的） situation, dress smartly: a suit and tie for men, a long dress and jacket for women.

【2】—if you are going to stay in someone’s house, don’t arrive empty-handed. Bring a small gift if you are staying for a short period of time, a bigger gift for a longer period. Expensive chocolate works in most situations.

【3】—to shake hands or to kiss? Wait to see what your host does.

【4】—always accept the food offered whether it looks horrible or delicious. Try to eat all of it and say it tastes good. Most people are proud of their cooking even if they shouldn’t be. Don’t hurt their feelings.

【5】—in formal situations, don’t use first names. Always use titles like Doctor, Professor or Chairperson, unless the person tells you not to.
