We follow lots of table manners. Firstly, we use cutlery - you know, knives, forks and spoons - to eat most of the food. We hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right. Youshould hold the handle of the knife in your palm and your fork in the other hand with the prongs pointing downwards. There is also a spoon and a fork for dessert. When you finish eating, you should place your knife and fork with the prongs upwards on your plate. Secondly, you should never use your own cutlery to take more food from the serving dish - use the serving spoon. Now if there’s bread on the table, you can use your hands to take a piece. Then break off a small piece of bread and butter it. Thirdly, if you are a guest, you have to wait until the host or hostess starts eating and you should ask another person to pass the food. Next, never chew with your mouth open and don’t talk with food in your mouth...4. Work in pairs. Discuss if you follow these table manners in your family. Are there other table manners you follow?1.

Secondly, the host / hostess invites everybody to start eating and offers to serve the food for the guests. Thirdly, when chewing food, we shouldn’t talk, because it’s not polite. Finally, when we are full, we place our chopsticks on top of our rice bowl to indicate that we finish our eating.Discussion report5.	There is a British exchange student in your class.
