It doesnt mean they dont like you.Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11 p.m. Ask you hosts(主办人) what time you should arrive. Its polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine(酒) as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be very polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But rememberIts not polite to ask how much things cost.In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests(客人).Youll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then youll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert followed by coffee. Its 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.
