Letter A
Dear Etty Kit,
My roommate's family wants me to have Thanksgiving dinner with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I'm excited about going, but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I'm a little afraid of making mistakes.
Should I bring a gift, such as candy(糖果) or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?
Yours sincerely,
Confused
Letter B
Dear Confused,
It's a good idea to bring a small gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family drinks it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know about choosing the correct fork, knife, or spoon ,just watch the other people ,and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don't be shy about asking the person next to you. It's better to ask than to be quietly uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a card or thank-you note the day after.
Yours,
Etty Kit

听力原文:M: Hi, Shelly! How was your vacation?
W: Great! I went to New Orleans.
M: Really? Why did you decide to go there?
W: Well, I have a cousin who lives there. She's been trying to get me to take a vacation down there for a long time, and so finally, she talked me into it.
M: How did you get there?
W: Well, at first 1 was going to drive, but my cousin said parking is a big problem there, so I flew. Once I was there, I took buses and taxis.
M: I've seen some pictures of New Orleans--the architecture there is really interesting, isn't it?
W: Yeah, it's incredible, especially in the French Quarter and in the Garden District where my cousin lives. And I love the spicy food there, and the music, of course. My cousin took me to some great little restaurants and jazz clubs.
M: How was the weather when you were there?
W: That's the only thing I didn't enjoy. It was really hot and sticky.
M: Wasn't New Orleans originally a French city?
W: Yes, the French founded it. And then the king of France gave it to the king of Spain, and later the French took it over again. And then the French sold it to the United States along with the rest of the Louisiana Purchase.
