大学英语口语教程 ETIQUETTE MANNERS.ppt

* I can’t talk now, but… If you must talk in a public place (bus, elevator, airplane etc.) keep it short and discreet. * Rapid Response Forget junk mail and forwards, but ALWAYS respond to a real message on your e-mail. * watch wat u say While our Internet culture is full of shorthand, check your e-mail for grammatical, capitalization and spelling errors! In business—no shorthand! * Moving? Close your e-mail address at an old job and have them forwarded to an appropriate person. Let everyone know your new e-mail address. * No eating with your fingers! During the first course of the meal, use the utensils on the outside. For example, the salad arrived, use the fork on the far left. Entrée arrives, the next fork. * I want to eat my dessert! When wanting to eat your dessert, use the utensils that were placed above the plate. * Put the napkin where? Open the napkin, refold in half and place in onto your lap with the fold away from you. * How did that get on the floor? If your utensils or napkin fall, DO NOT crawl around on the floor to retrieve—flag down a waiter and ask for another. * I can’t eat another thing. Finally done eating? Place all of your utensils on the plate with the tip of the fork and knife across the plate, pointing at 11 o’clock. * Chop sticks or Chop Suey? Eat your Chop Suey (or any other food) with chop sticks ONLY if you already know how to use them—learning in front of someone can be ugly! * What’s in my Mouth? Great meal when— all of a sudden you realize something in your mouth needs to come out! Cover your mouth with a napkin and get it out—discreetly! * Doing lunch? Whoever invites a colleague or client to a business lunch pays for it—that includes the tip, coat check and parking if necessary. * Where to Lunch Select a restaurant that is conducive to conducting business. The restaurant should be centrally located for both, or close to the guests’ office. * Mirror, mirror on the wall… Don’t primp at a restaurant table or in public.
