[00:-6.00]TABLE MANNERS AT A DINNER PARTY
[00:-7.00]People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time
[00:-8.00]may be surprised by table manners in Western culture.
[00:-9.00]Knowing them will help you make a good impression.
[00:10.00]Having good table manners means knowing,for example,
[00:11.00]how to use knives and forks.
[00:12.00]When to drink a boast1 and how to behave at the table.
[00:13.00]Beside your napkin you sill find a small bread roll and three glasses
[00:14.00]--one for white wine,one for red wine,and one for water.
[00:15.00]There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table,
[00:16.00]forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate.
[00:17.00]When you see two spoons,the big one is for the soup
[00:18.00]and the small one for the dessert.
[00:19.00]The knife and fork that are closest to your plate
[00:20.00]are a little bit bigger than the ones beside them.
[00:21.00]When you sit down at the table,
[00:22.00]you can take your napkin,unfold it and put it on your lap.
[00:23.00]In China,you sometimes get a hot,damp cloth to clean your face and hands
[00:24.00]which,however,is not the custom in Western countries.
[00:25.00]Dinner starts with a small dish,which is often called a starter.
[00:26.00]Some people pray before they start eating,
[00:27.00]and other people may keep silent for a moment.
[00:28.00]Then you can say "Enjoy your meal" to each other
[00:29.00]and everybody starts eating.
[00:30.00]For the starter,which you eat with the smaller pair,
[00:31.00]you keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left.
[00:32.00]After the starter you will get a bowl of soup--
[00:33.00]but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second serving.
[00:34.00]They next dish is the main course.
[00:35.00]Many Westerners think the chicken breast with its bender white flesh
[00:36.00]is the best part of the bird.
[00:37.00]Some people can use their fingers when they are eating chicken or other birds
[00:38.00]but never touch beef or other meat on bones.
[00:39.00]It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate,
[00:40.00]so don't take more food than you need.
[00:41.00]At table,you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot ,
[00:42.00]but do not laugh all the time.
[00:43.00]Most Westerners like soft drinks if they will drive home.
[00:44.00]Many of them drink white or red wine with the food.
[00:45.00]When drinking to someone's health,you raise your glasses,
[00:46.00]but the glasses should not touch.
[00:47.00]The custom of toasting in some parts of China
[00:48.00]is to finish the drink at once,
[00:49.00]but Westerners usually take only a sip2.
[00:50.00]For drinking during a dinner,the best advice is never to drink too much.
[00:51.00]Table manners change over time.
[00:52.00]They follow the fashion of the day .
[00:53.00]Besides,table manners are only important at formal dinner parties.
[00:54.00]If you're not sure what to do,
[00:55.00]you can always follow your hosts.
[00:56.00]Although good manners always make you look good,
[00:57.00]you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.
