5. Translate the text and answer the questions. Having Meals at a Restaurant

Do not attract undue attention to yourself in public. Choosing a meal can be a problem sometimes because dishes are called unknown foreign names. Do not guess - ask the waiter to help you.

When eating take as much as you want, but eat as much as you take. Do not eat too fast or too slowly, cut as you eat.

Sit up straight and face the table, do not put your elbows on the table while eating. Do not reach across the table - simply say: "Would you please pass the salt," etc.

There is no rule about eating everything on your plate, to indicate that you have had enough place knife and fork together, not criss-cross. When refusing a dish or a helping simply say: "No, thank you," when accepting - "Yes, please."

Do not leave the spoon in your cup, when drinking tea or coffee. Do not empty your glass too quickly - it will be promptly refilled.
