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.

American hospitality (好客) begins at home. 3.When invited for a meal, you might ask, “Can I bring anything?” If it’s not a potluck (便饭), where everyone brings a dish, the host will possibly answer, “No, just yourself.” For most informal dinners, you can just wear comfortable clothes.4.

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.

An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That’s what hospitality(款待) is all about: making people feel at home when they’re not.

The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm（难为情）. Giving your host a gift is not just a social manner in some cultures-it’s expected. But in American culture, a guest is not necessary to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small present to their host to show their thanks. The right gifts for the host might be flowers, candy, and you can bring toys if the family has small children. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice.
