Basic Etiquette For Visiting

There are different situations: visiting a friend for the first time, visiting old friends, asking for help at parties, and so on, so etiquette is slightly different. However, in any case, as guests' identity, they must think of their hosts.

(1) pay attention to the choice of time.

Generally speaking, you should visit someone in advance.

(2) pay attention to the choice of clothing.

The general visit is neat, simple, generous and not too flashy.

Unkempt and ill dressed are disrespectful to the host.

We must be careful when we celebrate the happy event.

(3) knock on the door or ring the doorbell when entering the door.

Knock on the door must have a sense of rhythm, not light, not heavy, not urgent, not slow, knock two or three is appropriate.

A door that is closed or open can not be broken into the house. If the host is caught unprepared, he will be very rude. After entering the room, he will have to wait for the person to visit.

If you have to wait for a long time, you can sit down with the receptionist or read some newspapers, magazines, magazines, and so on.

For a good official visit, no matter how urgent the matter is, the time to visit is very tight. At the door, you can only greet greetings, do not talk about the topic, and talk again after entering the room, otherwise, you will leave an immature impression on the other party.

To wear slippers at the door to change, to see their family members should say hello, it is rude to say hello.

(4) thank the host for his hospitality.

When the host treats small foods such as tea or candy, he should rise or fall in his hands and say "thank you". If you smoke, you should decline it as a student.

(5) during conversation, pay attention to the etiquette and skills of conversation.

Be good at listening, respond positively and do not interrupt others' conversation at will.

Guests should not look around at their owners' homes.

Do not enter the bedroom of your master casually unless the host asks for it.

(6) grasp the best time to leave.

General visit should not be too long, nor should it be too hasty.

Generally, it takes half an hour to an hour.

If a business or official visit is made, the length of time can be determined according to the need.

When guests propose to leave, it is better to talk with the host after a climax, or when a new guest comes in. When the host has a sense of fatigue or when his family comes to remind him of something urgent to do, it is appropriate to leave in good time.

Thank you for hosting the host and family.

If the host family has elders, he should leave to his elders.

To sum up, the basic etiquette as a guest should be summarized as follows: making a reservation in advance, not being an uninvited guest; arriving at the scheduled time, not being a guest who breaks the contract; being polite, not being a bold guest; having a neat dress, not being a slovenly guest; a dignified manner, gentle conversation, and no vulgar guest; and leaving at the right time, not to be a difficult guest.
