Dinner parties 3 start between 7:00 p. m. and 8:00 p. m, and end at about 11:00 p. m. Ask your friends what time you should 4. It is good to bring 5, chocolates or a bottle of wine for them.
The party starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be 6, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember—it's not kind to 7 how much those things cost.
You will probably start the 8 with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and coffee. It's OK to 9 everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.
