People can't do without food. It is of course very important what to eat and what to drink. But nevertheless we should pay attention to the way we eat. A nicely laid table makes special atmosphere and wakes appetite.
How we are laying the table depends on the kind and aim of meal and dishes which are ordered. For example, if it is New Year party we can decorate the table with fir-tree branches and candles. And tor the birthday party we use a lot of flowers.
Now I'll say a few words about laying the table. At first we spread the cloth on the table. Then we put a dinner plate in 2 cm from the table side. On it we put a napkin. To the right of the plate we put a table knife and to the left - a table fork. If there is a snack, there will be a snack cover in the same order. There also can be a fish cover for fish courses. To the left of the dinner plate we put a bread plate. There are different types of glasses for different drinks - lemonade and beer glasses, wine glasses, goblets, wine glasses for red wine.
Now we can put a vase with flowers in the middle of the table and near it a cruet-set (salt-cellar, pepper-box and mustard pot). Sometimes we can also put an ash-tray on the table.
This is a general laying. For dinner we put a spoon to the right of the knife. If there is a dessert we put dessert cover in front of the dinner plate.
There are some more rules we should follow while laying the table. A table cloth and dishes should be of one style.
In conclusion I say one more time that nice laying of the table is the first step to good appetite and one more chance to get pleasure from the meal.
TASK 3
1) Study the rules of behaviour at table.
2) Add some more rules that you might know and which are not mentioned below.
3) Learn the rules and tell everybody how to behave at table.
ABC of Table Manners
1. Do not attract undue attention to yourself in public.
2. When eating take as much as you want, but eat as much as you take.
3. Don't eat too fast or too slowly, cut as you eat.
4. Take a little of every dish that is offered to you.
5. Sit up straight and face the table, don't put your elbows on the table while eating.
6. Do not reach across the table - simply say: Would you please pass me the salt?
7. At a small party don't start eating until you are served. At a big party it is not necessary to wait for all. The hostess gives the signal to the guests by saying: Start eating, please (or your food will get cold).
8. There is no rule about eating everything on your plate, to indicate that you have had enough, place the knife and the fork together, not criss-cross.
9. When refusing a dish or a helping simply say: "No, thank you", when accepting - "Yes, please'".
10. Do not leave the spoon in your cup when drinking tea or coffee.
11. Do not empty your glass too quickly - it will be promptly refilled.
