An American friend has invited you to visit his family．You've never been to an American's home before，and you are not sure what to do．Don't worry! When you're the guest，you should ju，一make yourself at home．
The question of whether or not to bring a gift often gives guests a headache．In American culture，it's not a must﹣do thing to bring present．Of course，some people do bring some small gifts like flowers，candies or一if the family has small children﹣toys．If you choose not to bring a gift，don't worry．No one will even notice．
American hospitality（好客）begins at home．Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day．When invited for a meal，you might ask．
"Can I bring anything？"If it's not a potluck，where everyone brings a dish，the host will possibly answer，"No，just yourself．"For most informal dinners，you can just wear comfortable clothes．Remember to arrive on time，or call to tell your hosts that you may be late．
During the dinner conversation，it's polite to say the food is nice．After dinner，you can help clear the table or wash the dishes．But since you are the guest，your hosts may not let you．Instead，they may invite everyone to move to the living room to drink some tea or coffee．If the hosts are not smokers，you shouldn't smoke in their house．And，above all，don't go around looking at the house if you are not invited．After about an hour of chat，it's time to say good﹣bye．You don't want to wear out your welcome．
