To be a nice guest

Resource:studioclassroom

(1)Sometimes guests have the privilege of staying in a friend's home. During their stay, house guests should be considerate of their hosts. They should try to fit into the family's established schedule. And if they have any questions about living arrangements, they should feel free to ask.

有時候客人有幸留宿在朋友的家裡。在留宿期間，客人得多為主人著想。應試著配合這個家庭既定的作息時間，如果對於起居的安排有什麼疑問的話，應該盡情地發問。

(2)If you're ever invited to a formal reception, be sure to dress appropriately. Wear a coat and tie or a formal dress—not jeans and a T-shirt. The host may provide a buffet of fruits, sandwiches, cheeses and desserts. If so, help yourself to a sampling of what's available. But don’t touch food you don't take. And by all means, don't dip your vegetable or fruit in the sauce again after you've taken a bite! As you nibble on the delicious treats, you can mingle with the other guests.

如果你受邀參加一個正式的聚會，一定要注意穿著得體，應穿件外套、打領帶或是正式的洋裝，不可以穿牛仔褲和T恤。主人可能會供應水果、三明治、各式起司、或是甜點等之類自助餐點。若是如此，你可以自行品嚐擺出的食物，但是不吃的東西就不要去碰；而且無論如何，凡是咬過的蔬菜或水果，不要再沾進沙拉醬裡去！當你小小口地吃著餐點時，可以和其他客人交談一番。
