The weatherman said there was going to be a terrible storm, but the weather now was so nice. Molly’s mother was going to buy some batteries in the corner store to prepare for the storm, although Molly thought it wasn’t necessary.
Her mom left and was back an hour later. It was about 6:00 p.m., and the sky began to turn dark because of the black clouds. The wind also started to blow. Then the rain started to beat against the windows. The trees shook hard. “I’m scared,” Molly said to her mother.
The storm lasted for about thirty minutes, long enough to make the lights go out and the old trees fall over. Even Dudu, the cat, was staying quietly under the sofa. Molly’s mother lit some candles so they could see their way around the house.
“What about dinner ” asked Molly worriedly. Her mother bought some fish when she went to the corner store. “I had a feeling that we wouldn’t be able to cook, so I bought the fish and some bread,” said Molly’s mother. They ate the fish and the bread by candle light. “You know, this is kind of fun. It’s almost like camping,” said Molly.
Later that night, the lights were on again. Molly said, “Although it was a scary time, I did have fun.”

What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches of manners
I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.
In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay.
Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite
