If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite

behavior. 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.
