Don't Know What To Wear and How To Behave: To Be As Cool As A Cucumber
Don't Know What To Wear and How To Behave: To Be As Cool As A Cucumber
Tỉ: I feel so nervous because I'm going to my boyfriend's house to have dinner with his family. I
don't know what to wear and how to behave
Hằng: Don’t worry. Take it easy. I think you should wear a blue flared dress and a pair of lolita
shoes. So you will look very gentle then, I'm sure your boyfriend's parents will like you
Tỉ: That's a good idea. One thing is for sure, I will arrive on time so as not to embarrass his family.
What about gifts? What do you think I should bring?
Hằng: Um, In my opinion, you should bring a basket of fruits or specialties from your hometown,
the dish is not too expensive, what is important is your heart.
Tỉ: I understand. I'm starting to feel excited again. Besides, after meeting his parents. There is a
big problem that I don't know what to tell them?
Hằng: One more important thing is to be as cool as a cucumber. Tell them everyday life stories
you see or funny stories.
Tỉ: Moreover, I will talk to them most comfortably. I will certainly treat them with the most
respect and courtesy (ls). But I'm still worried about table manners. What should I do?
Hằng: This is important. You must pay attention or you will lose points in front of your boyfriend's
parents.
Tỉ: oh my god. I don't want that to happen. I want to be perfect in the eyes of my boyfriend's family
Hằng: I don’t think you shouldn't eat in a hurry if the master of the meal hasn't started yet or
never talk when you have food in your mouth. That’s just gross. Even if someone asks you a
question, wait until you swallow before answering.
Tỉ: I will keep that in mind. And one more special thing is that I will never answer the phone while
talking to them. I will lose points in my eyes immediately (im mía đi ệt li). That is too bad!
Hằng: I believe in you and I know that everything will be fine with you. Don't be too nervous
Tỉ: Haha I hope I will leave a good impression in the eyes of my future mother-in-law. Thanks for
your helpful tips
