Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some , some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a .
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music , the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction. Of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk . If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. At last, there will be two players and only one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
In the USA, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know, it is impolite to light a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
The serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a "doggie bag". It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you're taking the food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have "Sunday dinner". This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meanings.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order—a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word "poor"(p, o, o, r) comes before "poverty"(p, o,v, e, r, t, y) and the word "poverty" comes before the word "power"(p, o, w, e, r).
The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic alphabets. The phonetic alphabet will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the international phonetic alphabet to show pronunciation.
The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meanings of the words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word's meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different meanings.
