A: Hi, Laura. Can you help to prepare for my birthday party next week?
B: Sorry, Clark. I'm afraid not. _
A: Really? You must be very excited about that.
B: Yes. _
A: Nervous about what?
B: I don't know many of the customs and manners in the USA. Would you like to give me some advice?
A: I'd love to.
B: What should I do when I am invited to my friend's home for dinner?
A: It's not polite to arrive late.
B: And then?
A: It's also impolite to say you are full.
B: What else?
A: After the meal, don't leave at once, or it seems that you come only for dinner.
B: Oh, I got it.
A: You're welcome.
A. First, you should be on time. B. But I'm kind of nervous. C. You are supposed to say it's delicious. D. Thanks for your advice. E. I am going to New York next week. |
