The British Way of Entertaining Guests British people ’ s attitude towards life is to relax and enjoy themselves (them) whenever they are free to do so. T hey 1 ___ (emphasis) a lot on being 2 ___ (depend) and having their own way even during a dinner or party. I found it quite 3 ___ (differ) from the Chinese way of entertaining people. A t several parties I had been invited to in London, I observed that people ate whatever they liked and even could ask for their 4 ___ (favor) drinks or food. T he host seldom asked people what they 5 ___ (prefer) or that they should eat more. I t was the same for 6 ___ (dine). G uests were given things they asked for. If they said, “ No, thank you ” the first time they were 7 ___ (offer) something, they would never expect the host to repeat the request. O nce I was invited to a dinner. I behaved in the British way. B ut it was 8 ___ (fun) that an English friend of mine had known some Chinese customs and insisted on my 9 ___ (eat) more even though I told them several times that I had been full. Actually I felt rather 10 ___ (touch).
