A. If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite
behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It will be all
right to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be over-cooked and ruined by then. When
you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers or candy are always
appropriate. If you have an attractive thing made in your native country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy
receiving that gift. What will you do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do not
make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices it. Be sure to compliment the cook on
the food that you are enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not overstay your welcome, either.
The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.
