Table manners in Britain
Vietnamese people use chopsticks, spoons and a bowl for eating.
British people eat most of our food with cutlery such as knife, fork and spoon.
People eat soup in a bowl.
They eat soup in a plate.
Vietnamses children ask parents or elderly of the family to eat first, and they follow.
British people say "grace" before eating and everybody starts eating after that.
If you are guest, the host invites everyone to start eating.
The British wait until when the host starts eating when you are a guest.
The host/hostess offers to server the food for the guests by chopsticks not passing the whole plate.
Food is put in individual plates or on the table.
If you find a piece of chicken sitting in the bottom of your bowl just say "thank you"
They tend to pass the whole plate of food around.

In my opinion, customs and traditions are very important. Like other families, we have our own customs and traditions.

2. Read Mi's presentation on customs and traditions. Is she writing about her family or her society?
A. Firstly, there's a tradition in our family of having lunch together on the second day of Tet. Everyone has to be there before 11 a.m. We have followed this tradition for three generations.
B. Secondly, we have the custom of spending Sunday together. We usually go to the cinema or go for a picnic. We don't have to do it, but it makes us closer as a family.
C. Thirdly, we celebrate our grandparents' wedding anniversary on the first Sunday of Octorber because they don't remember the exact date. The custom is that we have to cook a new dish each year. Last year, my mum cooked lasagne, an Italian dish. This year, we prepared five-coloured sticky rice served with grilles chicken.
Ảnh
We all enjoy these customs and traditions because they provide our family with a sense of belonging.
