　　We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them.So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead.But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry.The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant.You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes.It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on.When you are at dinner, you should also observe(遵守) some other customs.Here I'll give you some do's and don'ts about them：

　　(1)Don't leave bones on the table or the floor.(You should put them on your plate with fingers.)

　　(2)Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.

　　(3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.

　　(4)Don't ask others to have more wine.(This is quite different from that in China.)

(5)After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.
