求一篇英语作文。要求如下：王明要去美国的朋友家做客 但他不知道要注意什么！

The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm. Giving your host a gift is not just a social nicety in some cultures its expected. But in American culture, a guest is not obligated to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small token of appreciation to their host. Appropriate gifts for general occasions might be flowers, candy or if the family has small children toys. If you choose not to bring a gift, dont worry. No one will even notice.

是否带礼物的问题常使客人不安。在某些文化中，送主人礼物不只是社交礼节——还是必要的。但是在美国文化中，客人并不一定要带礼物。当然，有些人的确会带个表示感谢的小礼物给他们的主人。一般来说，花和糖果都是适宜的礼物，如果这家有小孩，就可以送玩具。如果你不打算带礼物，别担心，甚至没有人会注意到你的空手而来。

American hospitality begins at home especially when it involves food. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day. When invited for a meal, you might ask, "Can I bring anything?" Unless its a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, the host will probably respond, "No, just yourself." For most informal dinners, you should wear comfortable, casual clothes. Plan to arrive on time, or else call to inform your hosts of the delay. During the dinner conversation, its customary to compliment the hostess on the wonderful meal. Of course, the biggest compliment is to eat lots of food!

美国人的待客之道从家里开始——尤其和食物有关。大多数美国人都同意，无论如何，好的家常菜胜过餐馆的菜。受邀吃饭时，你或许可以问：“需要我带些什么吗？” 除非是每人带一道菜的聚餐，否则主人很可能会回答：“不用，你来就可以了。”大多数非正式的聚餐，你应该穿舒适、轻便的衣服。设法准时到，否则打电话告诉主人你会晚点到。用餐时，习惯上人们会称赞女主人烹调的美食。当然，最大的赞美是多吃！
