Teaching 2 Ask Ss to match the guest names to seats A-E. procedures 3 Introduce table manner in Western countries 1) As soon as the hostess picks up her napkin (餐巾), pick yours up and lay it on your lap. 2) The Soup Course Dinner usually begins with soup. The largest spoon at your place is the soup spoon. It will be beside your plate at the right-hand side. 3) The Fish Course If there is a fish course, it will probably follow the soup. There may be a special fork for the fish, or it may be similar to the meat fork. Often it is smaller. 4) The Meat Course The main course is usually served by the host himself, especially if it is a fowl or a roast which needs to be carved. He will often ask each guest what piece he prefers, and it is quite proper to state your prefe rence as to lean or fat, dark or light. 5) Using Knife and Fork The English keep the fork in the left hand, point curved downward, and bring the food to the mouth either by sticking the points onto it or in the case of soft vegetables, by placing it firmly on the fork in this posit ion with the knife. Americans carve the meat in the same position, then lay down the knife and taking the fork in the right hand with the point turned up, push it under a small piece of food without the help of the knife and bring it to the mouth right-side-up. 6) Helping Yourself and Refusing If a servant passes food around, he will pass the dish at your left hand so that you can conveniently serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbor on the right. It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you. But if there is something you may not like, you may quietly say: "No, thank you." 7) The Salad Course A salad is eaten with a fork only held in the right hand with points turned up. There is usually a special one for the salad, a little smaller than the meat fork. 8) Bread and Butter Bread is taken in the fingers and laid on the side plate or the edge of the large plate; it is never taken with a fork. Butter is taken from the butter dish with the butter knife and placed on the side plate, not on one's bread. 9) Other Things on the Table When there are things on the middle of the table, such as bread, butter, jelly, pickles, nits, candies, you should not take any until the hostess has suggested that they be passed. 10) Leaving the Table It is impolite for a guest to leave the table during a meal, or before the hostess gives the signal at the end. When the hostess indicates that the dinner is over, she will start to rise from her seat and all the guests rise from theirs at the same time. 4 Principles of Seating 1) Seat people who have common interests toget‎‎her. 2) Pair male and female guest‎‎s. 3) Seat guests of honor in order. The most important perso‎‎n should be seated at the right‎‎ hand of the host. Step 3 Reading A 1) New words and phrases A) Read aloud the new words and the text.

Choosing the correct silverware from the variety in front of you is not as difficult as it may first appear.
