Sumie
In my country, Japan, usually we invite guests home at weekend, in the early evening, about seven o’clock. Before they come, we must tidy the front garden and clean the entrance hall. Then we must spray it all with the water to show that we welcome guests with cleanliness. The guests usually bring presents and when they give you the present they say, ’I’m sorry this is such a small present’, but in fact they have chosen the present very carefully. When the meal is ready the hostess says, ‘We have nothing special for you today but you are welcome to come this way’. You can see that in Japan you should try to be modest and you should not show off too much. If you don’t understand our culture you will think this is very strange.
When we have foreign guests we try to serve traditional Japanese meals like sushi, tempura, or sukiyaki but when we have Japanese guests, we serve all kinds of food such as spaghetti, Chinese food, or steaks. When guests leave, the host and hostess see them out of the house and wait until their car turns the corner of the street; they wait until they can't see them any more.
Rosa
I come from Spain. At home what we love most is going out to eat in bars and restaurants. There is a big choice and we can go from one bar to another trying different things and having a few drinks, usually wine or beer. But sometimes we also like to invite people to our home.
I usually invite my friends for an informal meal. I cook Spanish omelette, which is made with potatoes, onions and eggs, fried in olive oil. Then we have things like cheese, ham – Spanish ham is very different from English ham, and if you buy the best one, called Jabugo, is something delicious, worth trying. And then things like olives, anchovies, mussels. We drink wine or beer. Some people may bring a bottle of wine or something for pudding. We usually meet late in the evening, about eight thirty or nine. Of course we dress casually; we just want to be relaxed and comfortable, and talk and laugh together.

Text A
Leaving home - David Snow talking about his daughter.
My daughter Jackie is living in London now. We're very worried about her, really. London is such a dangerous place for a young girl. She's only eighteen, and London's so far away. Her mother went down to see her there, but I don't like London.
I don't know why she went there. I think she has some friends there. She says she wants to be a dancer, and she's doing a sort of course, a ballet course or something, but dancing isn't a real job, and you don't earn much money being a dancer.
She's living in a flat in north London – with her boyfriend, I think, and we don't like that at all. We've never met the boyfriend- Tony, his name is. He doesn't have a job. I think she's earning some extra money working as a dancer in a theatre or club in the centre of London, but I'm not sure. I hope it's
a nice place. I do worry about her. London is such a big place. I'm sure she wants to come home, really. She phones home sometimes, but not very often and when we phone her she's always out. We are her parents, and I know we're important to her, but it still makes me sad.
