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

are always appropriate. If you have an attractive thing made in your native country, your host or hostess will

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 stay how much you enjoyed
the evening.
