It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner party more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the guests to arrive 21 having the meal. If 22 is late, all the others will be kept waiting. If you will have to be late, call and tell them to start 23 you.
It’s even worse to be 24 ! The host or hostess 25 not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk 26 the block (街区) for a few minutes, or just sit in your car until the right time.
Though it’s often important to arrive at a party on time, yet on the other hand, for open houses, the host or hostess invites guests to 27 and leave between certain times, so you can arrive at any time within the times he or she gives you.
It’s nice to bring an empty stomach, but it’s even nicer to bring a 28 present. The present should not cost a lot, or you might embarrass（使尴尬） the host or hostess. Flowers, wine, or a box of candy will do fine. 29 bring money as a present.
