Unit 6 Crossing Cultures 第4课时（Section B 1a-1e）课件 2025-2026学年人教版英语八年级下册

Hi Diana, it's so great to hear from you. Life in paris is pretty good. I was a little lonely at first, but i'm starting to make some friends. They helped me to learn more about the customs here after I had some embarrassing experiences at a party last month. I'd like to share some tips with you. First, you shouldn't arrive early to a party. It's Normal to be on time or a few minutes late, but arriving early can cause problems. Once I arrived ten minutes early to a party, usually that's the polite thing to do, right? But my friend looked so surprised to see me. He was still getting everything ready. Second, it's important to bring a gift when you visit someone. When I attended my friend's party, I didn't bring anything. IT wasn't his birthday, but everyone else brought gifts like chocolates or flowers to thank him for the party. I was so embarrassed. Third, you should always try to dress for the occasion. At that party, IT was surprising to see how nicely everyone was dressed. IT was summer, so I was just wearing a simple blouse and shorts, but everyone else was dressed so well that I felt silly. Fourth, it's best not to ask personal questions unless you know the persons well, many french people are quite private. They don't like IT when others ask them about their age, their family, whether they are married or how much money they make. Food and culture, however, are safe conversation topics. Last but not least, make sure you use french whenever you can. Lots of people speak english here, but you can develop closer relationships with them if you use french. It's very important in their culture. I found that even a simple male sea goes a long way. You'll see what I mean as soon as you get here over Nancy. 你知道吗？在法国去朋友家吃晚餐时，有一些需要注意的礼规范。你当你朋友邀请你去打架时，一定要带礼物。如果对方是一位女士，可以带上一束鲜花，最好把花提前送到你朋友家，这样让他有时间把花放在花瓶里，这样客人到的时候，主人就不会着急找花瓶了。还有其他的礼物，巧克力也是一个不错的选择，可以包装的好看一点。在法国，特别是圣诞节或复活节的时候，送巧克力会更好。当然最流行的礼物就是葡萄酒，选一种朋友喜欢的口味或者来自他家乡的一款酒，它会很开心。时间到了，走吧。我们会晚到15分钟左右，给主人足够的时间去完成准备工作，却被称为要事先问主人要不要脱鞋。我们一般会穿着它，但要先在门口的脚垫上擦一擦。当你要坐到餐桌上时，通常要等主人告诉你坐哪里。太好了，前菜已经上桌了，要开始吃了吗？实际上在所有人都上桌之前和在主人开始吃饭之前，你都不应该先用餐。通常情况下主人会给你倒一些酒，这时就该敬酒了当主人在忙的时候，不要只是坐在一旁主动提供一些帮助，比如说做了些面包，如果你需要面包就说出来，不要越过其他客人的盘子。还有不要给自己倒酒，除非主人在忙或离你很远，在这种情况下也可以给别人倒酒，注意不要喝太多哦。朋友之间互相尊重，别忘了下一次邀请对方来你家用餐。是麦子老师，关注体验品质生活。 I've just been invited to have dinner at my colleague and her husband's house to see in the U. K. When invited to dinner is standard for a guest to bring a small gift as a gesture to the host, so you could bring flowers, a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, or even a small gift, such as a candle. When you offer the gift, you could say, this is for you. Remember on arrival, to thank your guest for having you and sincerely compliment something in their home, for example, oh, I love your kitchen is such a nice space. After the mill offer to help your host clear up, they will likely refuse, but it's important to offer. Can I help you clear up when it's time to leave? Thank your friend again and suggest that you will host for dinner next time. Thanks again for a lovely evening. We must see this again soon. How about dinner at mine next month? Won't you try practicing some of these phrases to prepare for dinner at a friend's house in the U. K.
