In the UK，many foreign students as well as tourists would like to experience a traditional English meal.But many of them don't know how to behave properly during the meal.Here are some rules for you to follow.
    Follow the host's directions
    If you are invited by a host to his or her home，it is better to wait for your host to invite you to sit down or eat before you start sitting or eating.
    Place your napkin（餐巾） properly
    The first thing to do when you are seated is to put your napkin on the lap （ 大 腿 ）.If you are to leave the table during the meal，remember to leave your napkin on your seat instead of on the table.
    Chew（咀嚼） your food silently
    Don't make any sounds with your mouth while chewing food.You should chew your food silently.
    Ask for help when the food is too far away
