Ⅴ. 书面表达。
王磊是一名中国留学生，刚刚到了美国，他非常想知道美国的社交习惯，所以给他的美国教师写了一封信，向他咨询几个问题。请你根据王磊的信件，以美国教师Jim的身份写一封回信，不少于80词。
Dear Jim,
I'm a Chinese boy and I came to the USA not long ago. I'm now writing to ask you something about American social manners. My American friends want me to join in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go. But I'm a little worried about it, too. The social manners in my country are very different from those in America. And I know little about theirs.
Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? How can I use the fork and knife? How can I let them know I'm thankful for their kindness?
Best wishes!

Dear Wang Lei,
I think it's a good idea to bring a small present when you are invited to a dinner party.
Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends
drink it.
You should arrive on time or a few minutes late. Don't get there early. If you are going
to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the
dinner table. If you don't know how to use the fork and knife, just watch the other people,
and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.
Of course, you'll thank them for their meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea
to send a thank-you card the next day.
Best wishes!
Jim
