If you do so, you will become the focus (焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that. Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess (女主人)know that you've just done a labour? Don't lean (倚靠) back and say "I'm through" or "I'm full". Just put the fork and knife across the plate. That's all. Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time. Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don't do that.

For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However, if you do this in Europe, some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places. In fact, we should also take care not to cough or sneeze loudly in public. Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, dropping litter is almost never allowed.
