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 start between 7 and 8 pm 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 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 end 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.

Most children don’t enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia， Jim and Robert’s mother， Mrs Black， has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework. Here is an example.
“Mum， have you worked out next week’s housework？ Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can’t wait. It’s fun！”

On the cards， there are some words like these， “sweep the floor， clean your bedroom， help mum cook， wash vegetables， make beds， feed the fish， cut the wood， clean the bathroom” and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the week day task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom， so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards. To help the children do housework， their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course， the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.

I left school five years ago. I was good at math at school. That was my best subject. I wasn’t very good at English. Art was my worst subject.
I like swimming and dancing. I play tennis every weekend if I can. I’m very fond of music. My favorite composer is Beethoven. I like pop， too. Foreign languages？ Well， I learned French at school. I was quite good at it. I can understand quite well and speak a little.
After I left school， I worked on a farm for a year. Then， I worked in a factory for six months. I didn’t like it. I’m working as a waitress at the moment. I want to get a job in a big company.

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 start between 7 and 8 pm 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 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 end 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.

Most children don’t enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia， Jim and Robert’s mother， Mrs Black， has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework. Here is an example.
“Mum， have you worked out next week’s housework？ Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can’t wait. It’s fun！”
When Robert shouted out， his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards， there are some words like these， “sweep the floor， clean your bedroom， help mum cook， wash vegetables， make beds， feed the fish， cut the wood， clean the bathroom” and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the week day task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom， so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards. To help the children do housework， their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course， the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
