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. If it’s a potluck party, you should
cook some of favourite food and take it with you.

Make up a situational dialogue:
Suppose you are on a study trip in Canada ,
Your new friend Mary, a local student, invites
you and your roommates to dinner tonight. Now
you are discussing about the invitation. The
discussion should be about the the present(s)
to take and the time to arrive and so on.
Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us impolite.
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.

Polly’s lecture(I)
Since you’re learning English, I think it’s necessary for
you to know something about Western culture and
customs.
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. If it’s a potluck party, you should
cook some of favourite food and take it with you.
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.”
