Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin(餐巾),you will find a small bread roll and three glasses----one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water. There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons(汤匙),the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap(膝盖)。
