If you want to be a polite guest at an American dinner party， you are supposed to do these things.

Firstly， you are supposed to buy a small gift such as flowers or wine to your host or hostess.

Secondly， you are supposed to arrive on time. If the dinner time is 7:00， do not arrive before 6:30 or after 7:05 without calling.

Thirdly， during dinner， be sure to praise your host or hostess for the meal. After you finish to eat， you are not supposed to stay too long， but it’s not polite to leave immediately either.

Finally， you are supposed to thank your host or hostess for the dinner when you leave.

點(diǎn)評

1. 優(yōu)點(diǎn)：

本習(xí)作是一篇很成功的作品。小作者在充分運(yùn)用提示的基礎(chǔ)上，合理發(fā)揮，具體說明了去美國人家做客時(shí)應(yīng)注意的事項(xiàng)。文章意思連貫，并成功地運(yùn)用了時(shí)間狀語從句、條件狀語從句和be supposed to do sth句型。

2. 需要修改的地方：

① 將to改為 for。buy與for連用，表示“為……買……”。

② 將to eat改為eating。finish后接動(dòng)詞-ing形式作賓語，表示“做完某事”。

3. 評分：

按照中考英語作文滿分15分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，本文修改前可得13分。
