[01:49.98]READING TABLE MANNERS2 AT A DINNER PARTY
[01:58.94]People who go to a formal3 Western dinner party for the first time
[02:04.71]may be surprised by table manners in Western culture.
[02:10.27]Knowing them will help you make a good impression4.
[02:13.93]Having good table manners means5 knowing,for example,
[02:17.77]how to use knives and forks,when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table.
[02:25.63]Beside your napkin6 you will find a small bread roll and three glasses
[02:31.90]one for white wine,one for red wine,and one for water.
[02:38.25]There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table,
[02:43.11]forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate.
[02:48.67]When you see two spoons,
[02:51.91]the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert.
[02:57.66]The knife and fork that are closest to your plate
[03:02.41]are a little bit bigger than the ones biside them.
[03:06.78]When you sit down at the table,
[03:10.54]you can take your napkin,unfold it and put it on your lap7.
[03:16.78]In China,you sometimes get a hot,
[03:21.53]damp cloth8 to clean your face and hands,which,however,
[03:27.39]is not the custom9 in western countries.
[03:31.75]Dinner starts with a small dish,which is often called a starter10.
[03:37.99]Some people pray11 before they start eating,
[03:42.43]and other people may keep silent12 for a moment.
[03:47.29]Then you can say "Enjoy your meal" to each other and everybody starts eating.
[03:53.85]For the starter,which you eat with the smaller pair,
[03:59.12]you keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left.
[04:04.69]After the starter you will get a bowl of soup
[04:09.44]but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second serving.
[04:15.69]The next dish is the main course.
[04:19.94]Many Westerners13 think the chicken breast14 with its tender15 white flesh16
[04:26.14]is the best part of the bird.
[04:29.66]Some people can use their fingers when they are eating chicken or other birds
[04:36.11]but never touch beef or other meat on bones.
[04:41.16] It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate,
[04:46.12]so don't take more food than you need.
[04:50.48]At table,you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot,
[04:56.54]but do not laugh all the time
[05:00.70]Most Westerners like soft drinks if they will drive home.
[05:06.05]but the glasses should not touch.
[05:09.89]The custom of toasting in some parts of China is to finish the drink at once,
[05:16.97]but Westerners usually take only a sip17.
[05:21.23]For drinking during a dinner,the best advice is never to drink too much.
[05:27.99]Table manners change over time.
[05:32.15]They follow the fashion of the day.
[05:35.99] Besides,table manners are only important at formal dinner parties.
[05:42.65]If you're not sure what to do,you can always follow your hosts.
[05:48.11]Although good manners always make you look good
[05:52.86]you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.
