Passage 5
behave manner depend close dish a
feel what polite choose because
In China, table culture is part of each meal, whether it is in
a restaurant or in someone's home. Learning to behave properly at table will make people around us more comfortable. Then what should we pay attention to when dining?
The first one is the order of seats. Usually, round tables are the first choice for Chinese dining. The seat facing the door is the best one, usually for the main guest. As for the other seats, the closer they are to the main guest, the better they are.
Second, if we are the host, we should arrive earlier at the door and introduce them to their seats. If we are invited to the meal, we should listen to the host and take a seat.
Third, we shouldn't ask the waiters the dish prices or bargain(讨价还价) with them when we order, which shows we are not generous. And that makes guests feel uncomfortable.
The last point to note is about eating manner. It is impolite to urge(力劝) guests to take the dish, but it's acceptable to introduce the special dish. Whether they eat or not depends on themselves. It's also unwise to take a dish for guests, because we are not sure whether they like it.
