One day, a physically-deformed man came to our college and on his back was a notice saying, “Free shoe repairing for college students”.

Repairing shoes for free? Most of us didn’t believe it, and some even thought that it was just a device(策略) to the students who would have to pay for shoes once they had been repaired. But the man just smiled and said, “Save your money to buy some books.” These words really surprised me and I talked with him, “You need to make a living. Why do you repair shoes for us for free?” He answered, while keeping on working, “I’m an illiterate(文盲), but I know how important knowledge is for everyone. So I’d like to serve the students like you. I hope you can do well in your studies. In my opinion, money isn’t everything in life.”

After the chat, I felt he was great compared with me. He, a physically-deformed man who couldn’t walk without a wheelchair, still tried his best to devote(奉献) himself to society. I would like to thank him because he gave me a new direction in my life, and taught me what the true value of life is.

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.
