　　 Wang Lin

　　Letter B

　　Dear Wang Lin,

　　Its a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.

　　You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Dont get there early. If youre going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

　　Try to be free at the dinner table. If you dont know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

　　If you like the food, say so. Of course, youll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. Its also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.

　　 Rose
