Table manners

All societies have customs about how to eat politely. In English, we call these customs "table manners". Based on culture and location, table manners can be quite different from place to place. It's very interesting! 

●In some cultures, it's polite to serve food to guests, while in other cultures, people don't do this because it makes the guests feel like they are being forced to eat.

●In most East Asian countries, people use chopsticks at the table.  Do you know that in some places people simply use their hands to eat? And in some places, only their right hand?

●In Russia, it's polite to leave a bit of food on your plate to show the host that there was plenty to eat.  It means you enjoyed the food.

 So when you visit another place or another country, take the time to learn the local customs and manners. Remember, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

A. Here are some examples.

B. Different table manners show different cultures.

C. In Western countries, people usually eat with a knife and a fork.

D. But in India, finishing the food on your plate is considered polite.

E. Throughout the world, you will find many different table manners and customs.
