Notes：
Appropriate 8 gift
和中国人一样，在英、美、加等讲英语的国家，人们在拜访朋友或看望亲人时，比较重视用礼品表示礼节但礼品不一定贵重，具有特色就行，这是一条普遍适用的原则。在这一点上，和中国人送礼显然有些区别。一般来说，送鲜花、名酒、化妆品、录音带或唱片都是很合适的礼品，自己做的果酱、自己养的花、亲手做的生日贺卡、亲手烤制的食品也都是很好的礼品，而且更有意义。
礼品的价钱不重要，但礼品的包装很重要。礼品一般以交给女主人为宜。接受礼品时，人们习惯当场打开。要在打开礼
品后马上表示欣赏和感谢，否则就是不礼貌。

Notes:
在英美等西方国家，邀请有书面邀请和口头邀请两种形式。前者指通过发送请柬或写信进行的邀请，后者指打电话或当面以口头形式进行的邀请。书面邀请比较正式，口头邀请比较随便。听到别人的口头邀请，千万不要主动去问“什么时候”或“在什么地方”，除非你确认邀请方不是在应酬你，而是真的想邀请你。
应邀参加聚会或是吃饭的时候，通常应问主人：Can I bring anything? 如果是和朋友相聚的非正式场合，主人可能会请客人带一瓶葡萄酒或几罐啤酒。
常用句型：
Im going to play with a group of friends. Would you like to join us?
Do you want me to bring something?
Uh, are you going to be busy this evening?
Do you have time to go to...?
How about coming to...?
Thanks. That sounds like fun.
Thank you. Thats very nice of you.
