An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you are not sure what to do. Don’t worry! 1.

The question of whether or not to bring a gift often gives guests a headache. 2. Of course, some people do bring some small gifts like flowers, candies or—if the family has small children toys. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice.

But since you are the guest, your hosts may not let you help. 5.If the hosts are not smokers, you shouldn’t smoke in their house. And, above all, don’t go around looking at the house if you are not invited. After about an hour of chat, it’s time to say good-bye. You don’t want to wear out your welcome.

A. Remember to arrive on time, or call to tell your hosts that you may be late.

B. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day.

C. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home.
