[05:32.33]Reading

[05:33.75]2 Read the passage and  answer the questions.

[05:38.80]Do as the Romans⁷ do

[05:41.70]There's a saying, "Whenin Rome⁸, do as theRomans do."

[05:46.96]And when you eat westernfood, do as theWesterners do.

[05:51.75]Here are some things youmay wish to know abouteating together in theWest.

[05:57.10]In the West, lunch iseaten later, alwaysafter midday⁹, sometimesat one o'clock.

[06:04.69]Dinner is served around7 pm or even later.

[06:09.53]In Spain it's usual toeat lunch at 2 pm anddinner at 10 pm!

[06:16.00]At the start of a mealthe Chinese usually say"mànmàn chī".

[06:21.27]The French say "Bonappetit", and theItalians say "Buonappetito".

[06:27.35]But there's no similarexpression in English!"Enjoy your meal" isusually only said by awaiter.

[06:35.33]For "ganbei", you cansay "Cheers¹⁰"!

[06:39.69]Chopsticks are onlyused when people eatChinese food. Knives andforks are used for mostfood.

[06:47.46]The fork is held in yourleft hand and the knifein your right,

[06:52.38]and the food is heldwith the fork and cutwith the knife.

[06:56.86]Americans often cut alltheir food first, andthen put the fork intheir right hand to eatit.

[07:03.86]Soup is drunk¹¹ with aspoon.

[07:06.53]However, there is somefood which can be eatenwith your fingers,such as chicken legs,seafood, bread and cake.

[07:15.81]At the start of ameal, if you're theguest,

[07:19.35]you'll be invited toserve yourself ("Helpyourself!"),

[07:23.58]or your plate will befilled by your host("Can I serve you?").

[07:28.88]If you've been givensomething you don'tlike, it should bepushed to the edge¹² ofthe plate and left.

[07:35.83]You don't have to saywhy, but if you feel anexplanation is required¹³,

[07:41.40]just say, "I'm sorry, Ican't eat this." No onewill be cross.

[07:47.27]If you're offered morefood, but can't eat anymore,

[07:51.19]just say, "No, thanks,it was delicious, butI've had enough."

[07:56.67]Generally,fewer dishesare prepared than inChina. It isn't thoughtto be so important tooffer too much food.

[08:05.61]Finally, it'ssometimes difficult toknow when the meal isover.

[08:10.96]If you've been invitedto dinner by westernfriends,

[08:14.63]you'll know that you'reexpected to stay andtalk around the dinnertable

[08:19.11]long after the last dishhas been brought to thetable,

[08:22.70]and it's thought quiterude if you leave assoon as you finisheating.

[08:27.74]The golden¹⁴ ruleis:Watch the otherpeople. Do as they do.

[08:34.09]Unit 3 Language in use

[08:40.89]7 Listen and match the  conversations with the  pictures.

[10:20.84]8 Listen again and  choose the best  answer.

[12:01.58]9 Read the email¹⁵ and  answer the questions.

[12:07.81]Dear Richard,I'm so glad you'recoming to China!

[12:12.76]Your mother tells meyou're worried aboutwhat you should andshouldn't do as a guestin China.

[12:19.62]Here's some advice. Youwill probably be invitedto a big meal.

[12:25.55]You may find it earlierthan you expect becauseChinese people eatdinner much earlier thanpeople in the West.

[12:33.53]There will be a lot ofdifferent dishes, notjust three courses.

[12:38.94]You may find itdifficult to usechopsticks if youhaven't tried before.

[12:44.02]It's a good idea to getsome practice.

[12:47.28]When the food is served,you should take time tolook at it.

[12:52.07]The preparation¹⁶ takes along time and everythingwill look beautiful.

[12:57.58]The plates will beplaced in the middle ofthe table, for everyoneto share.

[13:02.85]Take a little ofeverything and then havesome more of the thingsyou like.

[13:08.36]Chinese people like totalk about food, so it'sa good topic ofconversation.

[13:14.71]At the end of the meal,you will usually beserved fruit.

[13:19.08]Eat your fruit, thankyour friends, and go.
