When you’re invited to have dinner in a foreigner’s home, please remember the followings.
At the table, when the hostess(女主人) picks up her napkin, you may pick up yours and put it on your legs.
If a servant(佣人) passes food around, he will pass the dish to you at your left hand so that you can easily serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right. It is then the turn of your neighbour on the right.

Eating in England
Although English people don't care about what they eat, they care about the place where they eat. Rich families usually have a nice dining room.
English people like to eat out. The rich go to big restaurants. The poor go to small ones or fast-food restaurants. There are also a lot of foreign restaurants, such as Italian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and so on. A good restaurant is usually big and clean. Waiters and waitresses wear uniforms and are friendly and polite. When you are eating, you might hear gentle music. Small restaurants or fast-food restaurants are noisier but clean and pleasant, too.
In summer, English people like eating outside. People bring baskets of sandwiches and sit on the grass in the park, enjoying the sun. Some English kids' favorite food is pizza, and most kids hate vegetables. Some of them like eating the most famous English food, fish and chips.

We often see people in different offices wear different clothes. In America, a businessman goes to work in a dark suit, with black shoes, socks and a tie. A reporter goes to work in old blue jeans, a work shirt and sneakers(运动鞋). These two kinds of clothes are suitable for their work.
If you are a college student who will leave school soon, before starting a job, you have to buy some new clothes. And you’d better have a look at“what everyone else is wearing”in the office. On certain(某种) kinds of business occasions, the men wear only suits with white shirts and dark ties. On others, men can wear jackets.
Dressing is very important. Without it, there is no successful fashion. It would be helpful if everyone looks at himself in the mirror before leaving home every morning.

In fifteen minutes, when her office day has ended, she can metamorphose(彻底变化) herself into another person with freshly cleaned teeth, combed hair, a new face, a different and dressier(漂亮的) pair of shoes, and some sparkling jewelry. If she must wear a long dress for the party, she should bring it to the office in a protective bag and store it safely until she has to put it on.
