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 stay how much you enjoyed the evening.
