Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset(不安的) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m.and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.

Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be extra(額外的) polite? Say how much you like the room,or the pictures on the wall.But remember it's not polite to ask how much things cost.

In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.

You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.

Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British and American people like to say "thank you" all the time!

Two men were sitting together in an airplane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a teacher. The other was a cook.

They sat without talking for a while, then the cook said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”

“What do you want to do?” the teacher asked. “We can ask each other riddles (謎語(yǔ)),” the cook said, “You start.”

“Let’s make the rules first,” the teacher said. “To make the game more interesting, we play it for money. If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”

The cook thought about it and said, “That’s not fair (公平的). You are a teacher, an educated man. You know more things than I do. I am just a cook.”

“That’s true,” the teacher said, “What’s your suggestion?” “If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you need to pay me $100. If I don’t know the answer to a riddle, I’ll pay you $50.” the cook said.

Thinking for a while, the teacher said, “OK. That’s fair. Who’ll go first?”

“I will,” the cook said. “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?”

The teacher repeated the riddle, “What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies? Mm, that’s a good one. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.”
