    In Western countries, you should pay attention to the rules about the invitation.

When you hear Westerners say “Drop in anytime” or “Come and see me soon”， you should realize that it doesn't mean you are welcome to come over to their houses anytime. It's wise to make a phone call before visiting someone.

Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come.” If you are not able to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance(提前) that you will not be there and give your direct excuse to them. Don't forget to apologize(道歉)if you will be absent.

When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring some small gifts with you, such as drinks, flowers and chocolate. Sometimes Westerners may take you out for dinner in a restaurant and it does not mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He__might__want__to__“go__Dutch，_which__means__each__person__pays__his__own__bill.

If you don't want to be trapped in embarrassment, it's helpful to keep what is mentioned above in mind.
