The food in Britain is very different from our Chinese food. For instance (例如), they eat a lot of potatoes. They like to eat them every day. They eat bread for breakfast and usually for one other meal. They eat their bread with butter (黄油), maybe cheese (乳酪) or jam (果酱), things we don"t eat much in China. Cheese and butter are made from milk. They drink a lot of milk, too. They drink the milk cold or hot, and they put it in their tea. They put sugar in their tea, as well. They are the world"s biggest tea drinkers. They like Chinese tea, but they drink mostly strong black tea from India and Sri Lanka (斯里兰卡). They don"t eat much rice. For their main meal they like meat or fish with potatoes and one or two vegetables. They serve all these together. After the main meal they always have something sweet. They call this dessert (甜点心). They don"t have Jiaozi in Britain. | |||||||

In Canada and the U.S.A, people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and a conversation. Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home: "Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?" "Hey, we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come?" To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you‘re sorry and give an excuse: "Thanks, I‘d love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry, I have tickets for a movie." Sometimes, however (但是), people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example: "Please come over for a drink sometime (某个时候)." "Why not get together for a party sometime?" "Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?" They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don‘t mention (提到) a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply the expressions like these, people just say"Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. Yes, thanks." So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or the person is just being friendly? | |||||||
