【参考答案】
Banquets are usually held in restaurants in private rooms,either for dinner or lunch. The guest of honor typically enters the room first. At a formal dinner the main host and guest are seated facing each other,the host with his back to the door and the guest facing the door. Guests should wait to be guided to their places and should not sit until the main host and guest have done so. Banquets usually have main course which includes cold dishes, hot stir fries, often with a whole cooked fish which symbolizes abundance, and soup. Serving fruit signals the end of the meal.
