What is reception etiquette?
When Aric was a sophomore, his family moved to a strange place, and Wang had to transfer to a strange school. On the first day of school, Wang was at a loss in a strange environment. Fortunately, in the last class, the teacher introduced him to a partner and said to him, "You just came here and are not familiar with the school environment. After class, you can go to the restaurant with me and my friends! " After listening to what the teacher said, Wang's heart was much more solid. Because the teacher's simple greeting gave Wang great comfort and made him feel lonely. Slowly, he began to like this school, and Wang and his teachers and his partners became best friends.

It is such a delight to have friends coming so far. As the host, when guests come, whether they are reserved in advance or uninvited guests, they should be warmly received. Teenagers should also master certain reception etiquette and show sincerity, friendliness and courtesy to the guests.

Guests should be prepared in advance when visiting. The host should dress neatly and naturally. It is impolite to be unkempt or to receive visitors in pajamas and shorts. The family layout should be clean and beautiful, and fruits, snacks, drinks, tobacco and alcohol, and dishes should be prepared in advance. If it is a formal banquet, such as wedding, birthday, etc. It is also necessary to send invitations or telephone invitations in advance, determine the time and place of the banquet, arrange seats, and implement the form, scale and grade of the banquet. If you want to stay for dinner, you should know the customs, hobbies and ages of the guests in advance so as to prepare the raw materials for the meal. If you know in advance that the guest will stay overnight, it is best to let the guest live alone and tidy up the guest's room and bed and other supplies. If you are a long-distance tourist, you must know the arrival time of the passenger's vehicle in advance. In particular, guests who are new here are unfamiliar with the terrain. Generally, they should meet as far away as possible to avoid the guests going the wrong way.

Greet the guests warmly when welcoming them and let them in. If guests carry heavy objects, they should take the initiative to help. For the elderly or infirm, you can come forward to help. After entering the room, you should give the best seat to the guests. If the guests are visiting for the first time, they should introduce them to the rest of the family and greet each other. If there are others present, they should introduce each other. When guests enter the door, they can take clothes, hats, rain gear or mark the location, but don't take the guest's handbag, and then give up their seats enthusiastically.

If the weather is hot in summer, the host can hand the guest a cold towel to wipe his face to cool off, or a fan, or turn on the electric fan and air conditioner and bring him a cold drink. If it is cold winter, guests should be invited to a warm room and pour a cup of hot tea. If the guests come from far away, ask them if they have eaten and if they want to eat right away.

If visitors are not their own guests, but friends, colleagues and classmates of parents, lovers, brothers and sisters or children, they should also take the initiative to greet them. This not only shows the guests that the whole family welcomes their visit, but also shows that your family is harmonious. If the relatives you want to visit happen to be away, you should take the initiative to explain the situation to the guests and ask what you need to tell them or do for them. It is impolite to be indifferent and indifferent to other family members' guests, which will cause guests' unhappiness.

If the visitor is an "uninvited guest", that is, the guest comes unexpectedly, which makes you unprepared. At this time, you should also clean up the messy things in the room, let the guests have a clean seat, and apologize to the guests. It is not surprising that "uninvited guests" sometimes bring inconvenience to your life, study and work. Don't shut the guest out, or look angry and put the visitor in an awkward position. At this time, we should know the purpose of the guest's visit as soon as possible so as to act according to circumstances and handle it properly. If someone visits you when you really feel inconvenient, such as when a guest comes and you happen to have something to go out, you'd better say politely, "I'm just going out." I am really sorry. " Explain the situation to the guests, make another appointment to talk and apologize. But the best way is to invite guests into the house and receive them. Of course, the length of the company depends on the actual situation at that time.

The host should ask the guests to sit down before sitting down. After sitting down, he should talk to the guests in time and bring drinks or snacks. When you speak, you should concentrate. It is not advisable to get up all the time, or talk while watching TV, or often remind the time. When pouring water for the guests, don't fill it up. If you prepare a packaged drink for your guests, you should remove the package and pour it into a cup, 2/3 cups, but don't fill it up. Teenagers should listen quietly when adults are talking. If you are the same age, you should say hello warmly, make some jokes, whisper and take some snacks that people of this age like to eat. If an old man comes, he should be more polite and considerate. A cup of tea should be served first, and then some proper greetings should be made. If people don't sit down, we should never sit down. When people ask anything, they should answer truthfully, and at the same time, they should be kind, easy-going and friendly, so as not to make visitors feel constrained and uneasy. When talking with the elderly, we should pay special attention to sincerity and humility, so that the elderly can talk more and talk about topics that the elderly care about. For the elderly with special skills, you can ask them for advice, so as to open the "chatterbox" of the elderly. Or we can talk about some housework first to make the atmosphere more harmonious before we get to the point. Old people usually have a small range of activities, and they often attach importance to and are sensitive to the hospitality of younger generations and young people. Be considerate to them, and they will be very pleased. If there are two groups of guests visiting, we should treat them equally and not neglect one side. If you don't know each other, you should introduce them to each other in due course. When the guests are finished or ready to leave, the host should stay politely. When the guest wants to leave, wait until he gets up, then the host gets up to see him off, and the family stands up to say goodbye with a smile. If a guest comes with a gift, he should mention his thanks or return the gift again, and don't forget to remind the guest whether there is anything he forgot or whether he needs help. Fujian should be sent to the gate or street corner, and it is strictly forbidden for guests to cross the threshold or slam the door as soon as they leave. If the guest is visiting for the first time, the host should take the initiative to show the way or arrange a car transfer; Visitors from afar should be sent to railway stations, airports or docks to say a blessing or send an invitation to come again.
