    If someone invites you to his or her home, you'd better bring something 3 or eat, such as a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates. You can do so if you're invited to an American home. 4 with each other, they are almost the same.

    English and American people will both have a drink or two before the meal. When you begin to eat, you should say how tasty the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth 9 and make any noise while you eat. It is 10 to be impolite.
