  21. more examples If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you’ll not move before the host says, “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you wouldn’t sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a guest never finished the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host, especially the hostess pleasant.

In the west, if you are going to eat at someone’s home, it’s polite to take a present for the host or hostess. You may take a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, a box of sweets or something Chinese like paper cutting, tea or scarves. If you go with a group of friends, one present from all of you is fine.

  27. Polly’s lecture(I) It is best to arrive about ten or fifteen minutes after the stated time. Arriving too early is not very polite since the host and hostess may still be busy preparing things and arriving on time is not necessary. However, if you are very late, you ought to have a good reason. When the host or hostess receives a present, he or she may open it in front of you and say, “It’s so lovely. I like it very much.” In response to that, you can say something like “I’m glad you like it.”
