Conducting a conversation on the topic "Mobile etiquette".

Teacher. In 2005, Beeline raised the issue of mobile etiquette. In 2006, a national study "Mobile Etiquette Rules" was conducted

More than 2000 users were surveyed mobile communications, men and women in 21 cities of Russia. Research area: everyday rules of communication on a mobile phone

The study revealed the presence of problems in the use of the rules of mobile etiquette in in public places, places of culture and recreation.

- ignorance of the rules of mobile etiquette.

- insufficient level of education.

- unwillingness to know the rules of mobile etiquette.

An expert council was established in 14 cities of Russia.

Target- to propose the basic rules of mobile etiquette.

After a lengthy debate, the participants expert council have agreed that a charter (a non-binding act formulating general principles and the purpose of any agreements) "mobile etiquette" should be advisory in nature and include provisions for the use of cell phones in public places, in the business environment, while driving and on air travel, as well as provide guidance to operators cellular communication... By agreeing on the content of each clause of the charter, the experts came to the following version:

Charter of Mobile Courtesy

A mobile phone or a smart device based on it becomes, if not already, an elementary personal item. However, the area of ​​using a personal mobile phone does not always remain an area of ​​privacy. This fact dictates the need for each mobile user to master moral and ethical principles, the indispensable observance of which we consider one of the main factors for the favorable development of mobile communications.

Any person has the right to use his personal mobile phone freely, but he does not have the right to restrict the personal freedoms of other people.

Based on this, we acknowledge and affirm:

1. It is necessary to turn off your personal mobile phone unconditionally in cases where the use of radio communications can endanger the lives of other people ( aircrafts, operating medical complexes, etc.);

2. It is necessary to turn off your personal mobile phone or put it into silent mode at performances, film shows, concerts, in museums and exhibition halls, during ceremonies and rituals;

3. You should refrain from using a mobile phone while driving;

4. You should turn off mobile phones or switch them to silent mode at business meetings and negotiations, unless otherwise agreed;

5. In public places (cafes, restaurants, shops, public transport, etc.), a mobile phone should be used with the lowest possible signal and voice volume and with the greatest possible respect for others;

6. Do not use as a sound signal something that may offend or alarm others (obscene language, rude and harsh expressions and sounds);

7. It is unacceptable to use other people's mobile phones and disclose their numbers to third parties without the permission of their owners;

8. Determining the location of subscribers, sending messages with reference information to their numbers of various formats and other actions of mobile operators in relation to their subscribers are possible only with the consent of the subscribers;

9. Secrecy of telephone conversations and confidentiality of information about subscribers of cellular communications are subjects of strict observance by authorized government bodies, mobile operators and users themselves

The charter was unanimously adopted by all members of the expert council and signed by them on July 19, 2006

Each of you will receive the text of the charter, and at home you will carefully read it again and think about mobile politeness.

Mobile phone in the theater

We are all obliged to turn off our phones during the performance. In many theaters, spectators are specifically asked to do so.

If you feel unprotected when the phone is off, then turn off all sounds, and during the intermission, see who called you.

We come to the theater to escape from our ordinary life for a while, and an unexpected cell phone call will dramatically tear all spectators out of the imaginary world.

The vibrating alert buzzes disgustingly and besides, it is the same for everyone. And if someone's mobile phone buzzes in the center of the hall, the rest will rush to check if this is their device.

Text messaging is very common now. They are not audible, but what a bright display backlight. In the semi-darkness of the hall, she will certainly distract the attention of your neighbors.

Mobile phone at the evening

· Let's say one fine evening you are having dinner in a fancy restaurant, and suddenly your phone rings. It is acceptable if you answer the call and chat. The situation is the same at a friendly party.

· Another thing is if you came to the solemn anniversary of someone very respected. If the phone melody does not sound at the best possible moment, it will attract everyone's attention and can cause embarrassment.

· At formal evenings, it is customary to switch phones to silent mode, even if you are a very important person. These events are usually quite quiet.

Mobile phone in the lesson

· Most of our friends and parents know what time we are in class, but they can forget about it and still call during the lesson.

· I advise you to put your phone in silent mode. In fact, vibration in the classroom is quite acceptable - after all, it is more noisy in the classroom than in the theater.

In any case, do not give the teacher a reason to complain about you

· The same can be said about SMS.

· It is not uncommon for especially ardent correspondence lovers to end the year with unsatisfactory grades or were repeatedly expelled from the class.

· If you think the call is very important, ask permission to leave.

Final part.

A mobile phone ... EVERYONE has it - men and women, old people and children. But - what if one day, by someone's will Mobile phones will turn into sources of education and training of the inhabitants of the planet of mobile politeness. And everyone who picks up the phone is exposed to some kind of influence, with the help of which the rules for using a cell phone are taught.

A plus

1. "Hooligan" calls will stop day and night.

2. Your number will not be with the person to whom you did not give it.

3. In the classroom, discipline will improve (no calls, no one is playing games under the desk).

4. Teachers will not be distracted by the calls of their phone and students' phones.

5. There will be no distracting and annoying calls at performances, concerts, etc.

6. Artists, singers, musicians will not be upset because of telephone trills.

7. Drivers will not talk on the phone, the number of accidents on the roads will decrease.

8. Nervousness on buses will decrease as no one yells into the telephone receiver.

9. No one will film you if you look bad.

10. At the bus stop, no one next to you will discuss yesterday evening.

Minus

1. Impact on the subconscious (it is not known what the consequences)

2. Ability to be used by different services (Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, etc.)

3. The ability to use not only for the purpose of education.

4. The possibility of hacking and the use of technologies:

5. It happens that the execution of the rules is life-threatening, and we cannot break them.

6. The likelihood of missing a very important call.

7. A failure may occur in the system, and then the consequences are not predictable.

8. Parents will worry about not getting through to their children.

I hope that the event in which you participated today helped you to get acquainted, assimilate and generalize the basic ethical requirements in behavior and communication with people, and master the skills of cultural behavior.

"The flower of courtesy." Scenario of a courtesy event for older children

To acquaint children with the concept of etiquette and with rules of etiquette;

Show children important role polite words in people's lives and encourage children use polite words in speech;

Develop in children communicative qualities, understanding of various issues and the ability to guess riddles;

Course of the lesson:

Adults and children know:

Many words in this world!

And with magic words

We walk the world with you!

Magic words are called polite words... What kind polite words you know?

(thank you, please, sorry, sorry, hello, goodbye, good morning, evening, day, good night)

Thank you, well done! Why do people call polite words with magic words! Answer please!

(because polite words make people kinder)

-Right! Magic words are like little wizards. Faces brighten from these words. People begin to relate better to the one who says these words. Polite words help people communicate, understand each other better, treat each other more attentively and more carefully. Please remember one of the kindest and kindest words in our life. With this word we greet other people and wish them health.

Right! We say hello and seem to sow good. Good, which then comes back to us. This is such a little secret, you need to know it. Let's say hello to you too.

The exercise "I say hello everywhere".

I say hello everywhere:

At home and on the street

Even "Hello" say

I'm a familiar chicken.

Hello, the sun is golden

Hello the sky is blue

Hello, free breeze

Hello little oak tree,

Hello morning, hello day.

I'm not too lazy to say hello.

What other words can you say when you meet? Listen to the poem and say them.

Kind words are not lazy

Repeat for me three times a day.

I'll just go out the gate

Everyone going to work -

To a blacksmith, a weaver, a doctor -

"Good morning!"- I say

"Good day" I shout after

Everyone going to lunch.

"Good evening"- so I meet

Everyone hurrying home for tea.

What kind polite words you heard? Now tell me how you need to say hello correctly? (you need to look in your eyes, smile and say the words)... When people call you politely what are you experiencing? (pleasure, joy) if you are rudely addressed, what happens to you? (offended, sad) and so that you and I do not feel sad, we will sing a song.

Song "Hello, sky at dawn!"

And now I will ask a riddle about one more important magic word. Listen carefully and guess what the word is.

Masha knew a lot of words,

But one of them is missing

And it’s like a sin,

Most spoken:

This word follows

For a gift, for lunch,

This word is spoken

If thank you.

So what is this word? And remember the times when you need to speak "thanks".

(answers children)

But it so happens that sometimes we can offend someone, push or hurt someone. It happens that we did not do it on purpose, inadvertently, and so that they would not be offended at us, we also say the magic word. What, you will guess by listening to the poem.

I hit my grandfather with a ball

And screamed: "I have nothing to do with it!"

But, counting to thirty,

Said: "Well, grandpa (sorry!")

- Right! But you can also say "Excuse me, please"... Now Anya will tell us about this word.

Excuse me kitty

What drove you away!

I'm probably sleepy

Understood nothing!

I was awake -

Don't be angry, kitten!

And then the resentment disappears somewhere, a smile appears on the face and the mood becomes good for both. Listen to what happened once in the same family.

Dad broke a precious vase -

Mom and grandma frowned at once,

Daddy was embarrassed, looked them in the eyes

And timidly and quietly "Sorry" said.

And mom is silent, smiling even:

"We will buy another, there is better on sale".

"Sorry", it would seem, what is it about him?

But what a wonderful word.

What word helped dad? And how did he say it, in what voice?

But there are situations when even magic words do not help. I'll tell you about one such boy now, and you tell me, right whether the boy was entering and what he had to do.

Was this boy is polite

AND, right, very "Nice",

Taking the ball away from the younger ones,

He thanked them -

"Thanks" spoke.

- Right whether a boy enters? What did he have to do if he wanted to play ball? How should I ask, who will show me?

Now stand in a circle and play a game with a ball "Magic word". The rules are simple... We pass the ball in a circle from in words:

My cheerful, ringing ball

Where did you rush to gallop?

Red, blue, blue

Can't keep up with you!

Whoever has the ball in his hands after these words speaks any magic word.

The game "Magic word".

And now it's time to listen to ditties about rules of conduct.

Play balalaika

Balalaika - 3 strings!

Sing along, don't yawn

Come out, dancers.

We will sing ditties to you,

Please don't laugh.

We are young artists -

We can be shy.

I washed my hands under the tap,

But I forgot to wash my face.

Trezor saw me

Screamed: "What a disgrace!"

Vova was too lazy in the morning

Comb your hair with a comb.

A cow came up to him -

She combed her hair with her tongue.

Petya deftly catches fish,

Maybe make a boat.

Only "Hello" and "thanks"

Can't speak.

Kolya is quarreling with friends,

He uses his fists.

At the bully under the eyes

Bruises persist.

Aunt Zina asked

Slide Misha into the attic,

Sorry, aunt Zina,

I'm not a farm laborer at all.

And in our the group has such children? I hope not and never will! Now I will check if you know the magic words.

Situations:

Coming to the group should be told ...

Broke a toy to a friend ...

When we sit down to eat, we tell everyone ...

You were treated to candy ...

Before going to bed, you need to wish everyone ...

Waking up, we say ...

If you offended someone ...

(children who guessed the words to call to themselves for the next game)

Let's play a game now « Flower - seven-flower» ... (riddles are written on the petals. Children must choose any petal and guess the riddle. If children find it difficult, the rest help)

The game « Flower - seven-flower

Tasks:

I met Vitya, a neighbor,

The meeting was sad -

On me he is like a torpedo,

Came from around the corner.

But imagine, in vain from Viti

I was waiting for the word ... (sorry).

Even a block of ice will melt

From a warm word (thanks).

Even the stump will turn green

When he hears (good day).

If you can't eat anymore,

Tell mom we (thanks).

Boy polite and developed

Says meeting (Hello).

When we are scolded for pranks

We say (please forgive me).

Both in France and in Denmark

Saying goodbye (Goodbye).

Great, well done. You all know magic words so well. We adults believe and hope that these magic words will always be with you! And I want to wish you that you will always be polite so that they do not offend anyone, and if they nevertheless unintentionally offended someone, then they always did not hesitate to ask for forgiveness. And then everyone will love you, praise you and want to be friends with you. And never be like a donkey from a poem.

There was a very donkey polite he was brought up,

He smiled at everyone, bowed and "Hello" spoke,

Then he took a step back and muttered to the side,

That the hare is a coward, the seal is a mattress,

That a lion is a fool, and an elephant is a fat man ...

He never said a good word about anyone,

And I ask you, my friend, do not be like him.

All learned today rules are rules of etiquette... And now, finishing our lesson, acquaintance with etiquette, we will sing a song that is called: "What is etiquette?"

Song "What is etiquette?"

And so that you never forget these magic words, I will give you a magic flower of kindness and politeness - flower - seven-flower , on which these important words are written. And if suddenly you forget any of them, then ask adults to read them to you and let them always be with you.

This is our behavior in society: our appearance, our behavior at the table, communication with each other, with teachers, etc.

Communication begins with a greeting. The greeting is a sign of recognition of the value and dignity of a person. The variety of forms and the multicolored palette of greetings in different etiquette and cultures is difficult to describe and classify. The forms of greeting are extremely varied. The Masai are said to spit on their hands before greeting each other. The inhabitants of Tibet, taking off their hats, stick out their tongues, and hold their left hand behind their ears, as if listening. Maori people touch each other with their noses. Russians, British, Americans shake hands as a greeting gesture; a Chinese in former times, meeting a friend, shook hands with himself; modern Greeks greet each other with the words: “Be healthy!”, the ancient Greeks said to each other “Rejoice!”; Arabs greet each other with the phrase: "Peace be with you!", the Navajo Indians - with the phrase "Everything is good!". How do you greet each other? (The guys answer the question).

What Russian tsar personally drew up a set of rules of good behavior, which included the following points: "do not pick in the nose with a finger, do not spit in a circle, do not brush your teeth with a knife, do not swing your feet ...". It was also forbidden at the table to lick your fingers, blow your nose into the tablecloth, spit on your plate and throw bones under the table. "

Slide 5 Answer: (Peter the First)

1 Entertaining pause:

Assistant 2: The rules of etiquette have evolved over the centuries. Etiquette can vary significantly within different cultures and nations. In China, a person who takes the last item from a common dish, for example, the last slice of cheese, without first offering it to his neighbors at the table, will be perceived as an insatiable glutton who does not respect the owners. In Australia, in the women's circle, the person who takes the last piece is called the contemptuous old maid, while in Europe it is customary for the plates after the guests to be clean, as this indicates a high assessment of the culinary skills of the cook. In some Muslim societies it is considered indecent to eat with the left hand, and even those who are born left-handed have to retrain. People were associated with the traditions, customs of a particular country, concepts of good and evil, with the laws that society adopted.

And then they began to write down these rules. The first book on etiquette is believed to have been written in Egypt around 2350 BC. It was called "Behavior Instruction". It has not survived to this day.

Six question:

Teacher: Attention, black box.

Slide 6 This vegetable has been known since ancient times. The Egyptians, for example, deified him in every possible way. They swore by them when concluding contracts and various kinds of agreements. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that it protects warriors from arrows, blows from halberds and swords. Knights, clad in steel armor, wore it on their chests as a talisman. And in Russia it was so popular that Peter the Great was forced to prohibit its use in some cases.

Answer: (Garlic)

Seventh question:

History teacher Marina Shaikhulovna Musifulina plays against experts. Attention, question. The founder of Western manners of etiquette in Russia was Peter I. To educate the children of the nobility, the tsar ordered to reissue a book popular in Europe three times, which was published under him and contained the rules of conduct. Many of the rules of this publication have not lost their relevance today.

Question: What was the title of this book?

Slide 7 Answer: ("An honest mirror of youth, or testimony to everyday life, collected from different authors")

Eighth question:

The teacher Irina Vladimirovna Snopkova plays against experts. Attention, question (Photo).

Listen to the parable. We have one mouth and two ears, which means that we must listen more than speak. But a pair of eyes is located above the ears, so we must see, not believe the rumors. There is a brain above all this, so we must first think before, after seeing a passage and hearing rumors, "pour out" everything through our mouths.

Question: How do you understand this parable?

Slide 8 Answer: (We must think over and comprehend what we have seen and heard and only then use speech)

Ninth question:

Marina Shaikhulovna Musifulina plays against experts. Attention, question. On August 6, 1698, the day after returning from a trip abroad, Peter at his Preobrazhensky court received his subjects who had come to him with a bow. Their faces annoyed the young tsar, who had managed, in two years of his life in Europe, to grow out of the habit of the appearance of facial hair and long-sex Russian clothing. Peter was used to acting with radical methods: he immediately set to work, and his actions horrified many boyars. Question: So what did Peter the First do?

Slide 9 Answer: (Peter the Great began to cut the boyars' beards).

Tenth question:

The teacher Olga Leonidovna Lupekina plays against the experts. Attention, question. "Are your cattle healthy?" This phrase is pronounced by the Mongols. Representatives of the African Zulu tribe say: "I see you." In China, they ask: "Have you eaten today?" And they all mean the same thing.

Question: How does it sound in Russian?

Slide 10 Answer: (Hello).

Helper 2: Almost any more or less significant event in the Middle Ages was accompanied by a feast, so the rules of the meal were quite important. In the early Middle Ages, special attention was paid to the location at the table: the higher the position and importance of the guest, the closer he sits to the host. But there were practically no concepts about table setting, as well as about the rules for using cutlery: then they ate mostly with their hands, putting food on slices of bread that replaced individual dishes.
The table during the feast was arranged in the shape of the letters "T" or "P". The owner took the place at the head of the table. Since food until the 16th century was consumed mainly with hands, they often had to be wiped off. For this, all the same bread crumbs and, oddly enough, the floors of the tablecloths (despite the fact that they were usually made of rather expensive fabrics) served. Napkins also existed in those days, but they served for a different purpose: they could wrap a treat that the guest wanted to take with him (this was not considered shameful). On the table meat dishes served mostly whole, and the portion was cut off with their own knife or dagger.
An equally important attribute of the feast, which usually lasted for several hours, was a table conversation between guests. Initially, all guests were seated in the common room at the same table, which made it difficult to talk. In the XV-XVI centuries, the custom spreads when the host and the guests of honor feasted separately in a small living room. At the table, too serious topics were usually not discussed.

Eleventh question:

Tamara Pavlovna Bryukhanova plays against experts (Photo).

Attention, question. The Japanese prefer not to pronounce this word. If they were asked a question, they may well answer "yes", but this may mean a refusal.

Question: Name a word that the Japanese do not like to pronounce so much.

Slide 11 Answer: (the word "no")

Twelfth question:

Attention, black box. This item has been used since time immemorial. He was known back in Ancient Greece: They were served by the leaves of a fig tree, with which the slaves wiped their lips after eating to their masters. During the Middle Ages, this item became widespread in Europe. Interestingly, he was especially popular in those countries where men wore beards and mustaches. In Russia, he was sure to be part of the dowry of any girl, both poor and rich.

Question: What is in the black box?

Slide 12 Answer: (Napkin)

Reflection:

Event progress

First presenter : Etiquette is an integral part of the external culture of a person and society. The words "ethics" and "etiquette" are perceived as close in meaning. And this is natural. This perception is pushed not only by the similarity of words, but also by the connection of these concepts. However, in fact, these words came together relatively late. The word "etiquette" is borrowed from French... "Ethics" - from the Greek ("ethika", From" ethos"- habit, disposition). One of the meanings of the word "etiquette" - inscription.

Second presenter: Etiquette inherits the customs and traditions of almost all peoples from the hoary antiquity to the present day. Basically, these rules of conduct are universal, since they are observed by representatives of the most diverse socio-political systems that exist in the modern world.

As the living conditions of mankind change, education and culture grow, some rules of behavior are replaced by others. What was previously considered not decent becomes generally accepted and vice versa.

First presenter : The norms of etiquette are reduced to the basic rule: strictly, everywhere and in everything, respect the society as a whole and each of its members individually and treat them the way you treat yourself.

Components of etiquette:

    Good manners

    Ability to behave correctly in public places, in various situations

    Appearance

    A culture of speech

Second presenter : etiquette - the behavior of people in everyday life and at work, in public places and on the street, at a party and at various kinds of official events - receptions, ceremonies, negotiations.

First presenter: Consider the theoretical foundations of modern etiquette in a variety of situations. Connoisseurs of etiquette will acquaint us with this.

"Connoisseur of etiquette for acquaintances and greetings":

In a small circle, it is important that everyone knows everyone, especially if people meet often - at their own place or in the house of mutual friends. Therefore, it is imperative to introduce a new person.

The man is introduced to the woman, the younger to the older, the subordinate to the boss. Age and authority have an undeniable advantage. The superior always "accepts" the presentation (as well as the greeting).

If you need to introduce peers or people of equal status, it is better to introduce the person closer to you first, for example, your sister - your friend. Acquaintance with the mother and father is an exception to this rule: all acquaintances must be introduced to their parents, and not vice versa.

If the person introducing you has already pronounced your surname, you should not repeat it by giving your hand. The first to give his hand is the person who was introduced to the other, i.e. a woman extends her hand to a man, senior to junior, a leader to a subordinate. The person who was introduced waits patiently, is ready to lend a hand, but is in no hurry to do so and only responds to the handshake.

Greeting when you meet is the first demonstration of your polite, courteous attitude towards others. Any greeting must be answered. Refusing to say hello is publicly insulting the person.

If the person you are with greets a friend, you need to join in the greeting. As well as it is necessary to respond to the greeting with which they turned to the person accompanying you, even if it comes from a person you do not know. If your acquaintance is surrounded by people, you should say hello to everyone: it is a very gross mistake to greet one person from the company.

"Connoisseur of street etiquette" : In order not to violate the norms of decency and not to attract too much attention from others, you should not swing your arms too vigorously when walking, knock your heels, take too wide or too small steps (especially for women).

It is not customary to walk along the street with four, let alone five in one line, blocking the entire sidewalk and disturbing other passers-by. Even if you don't feel like it, you need to split up into smaller groups.

You should not stare at passers-by, but you need to be careful not to push anyone or step on anyone's foot.

It is not customary to talk and laugh loudly on the street.

An oncoming passer-by on a narrow sidewalk is allowed to step back (younger or male). If there is a young and elderly woman next to him, then the elderly one goes in the middle.

Having met a friend on the street and stopping with him for a conversation, you should step aside so as not to interfere with passers-by.

If, being in an unfamiliar place, you ask a passer-by with a question, then you must first say “forgive me,” and then thank you for your help. The answer should be "please", "not worth it." If you are unable to help someone who approached you with a request or a question, you should politely answer:"Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to help you."

"Connoisseur of table etiquette": According to the rules of etiquette, sitting at the table, you should only rest your wrist on its edge. A woman can rest her elbow on the table for a while. You should not roll up bread balls, play with devices, a glass, fold the edge of the tablecloth into a tube, stretch your legs under the table to the full length.

When eating, you should not spread your elbows and bow your head low over the plate. The head is only slightly tilted and a fork or spoon is brought to this height. You should not blow on hot food and drinks, chomp, smack your lips and sip. You need to eat and drink silently.

Today the "role" of the knife on the dining table has become much wider than it once was. Older people look with horror at how they cut with a knife, for example, pancakes or pancakes. But this is permissible. You can also use a knife for chopped schnitzel, potato pancakes, vegetable cutlets, in a pinch, even for dumplings. If desired, you can do with one fork.

The use of a knife for pasta, noodles, noodles, hodgepodge, brains, omelets, puddings, jellies, vegetables is completely excluded. These dishes are eaten with a fork only.

After eating, the knife and fork are folded in a plate in parallel, with the handles to the right. When the same utensils are expected to be used in the next dish, they are placed on the table.

If you use a knife and fork, then all the time keep the fork in your left hand, the knife in your right, without shifting them from hand to hand.

In cases where a drink is offered with food, you should swallow what is in your mouth first and only then drink it. It is good to wipe your lips with a napkin before that, so as not to leave greasy spots on the glass.

It is ugly to refill from the bottle only to yourself. Taking a bottle or decanter, first offer it to your neighbor at the table.

It is impolite to choose the best from the portions on the platter. Take the piece that lies closer to you.

You should not dip the bread in the sauce, but if you don't have the strength to resist, help yourself with this with a fork, and not with your fingers. In any case, do not wipe the plate dry with the bread.

If there is no spoon in the salt shaker, they collect salt with the tip of their knife, but the knife must be clean.

It is absolutely forbidden to sit down at the table with a cigarette, and at home receptions to smoke between meals. You can only allow yourself to smoke after a full meal, during coffee. In the most extreme case, between the last dish and dessert - usually at this moment there is a short break on the occasion of the change of appliances. But it's better to wait until the owners offer.

The devices are held by the tip of the handle, not in the middle. You should only cut food with a knife, in no case should it be taken into your mouth. Some dishes that you do not need to cut, such as scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, are eaten only with a fork. She is kept in right hand and help with eating with a piece of bread held in the left hand. When you finish eating, the knife and fork are placed on a plate next to each other in parallel, as a sign that you will no longer eat. If you haven't finished eating yet, cross the appliance, knife to the right, fork to the left. A napkin, paper or cloth, is placed next to the plate. Usually it is only applied to the mouth, they do this before drinking, so that traces of greasy lips do not remain on the glass. If non-smokers are sitting at the table, then smoking at the table is excluded.

How should you eat?

Sitting at the table, we do not cut the bread with a knife, but break off small pieces from a piece taken from the breadbox.

When appetizing, for example, if it is ham, do not put it on a piece of bread. We eat the ham with a knife and fork, small pieces of bread can be spread with butter. At the same time, we take a little oil from the oil can on the edge of our own plate.

We are more free to use bread at breakfast. You can spread a piece of bread with butter and bite off the piece. We do not cut bread, buttered with a knife.

During breakfast, it is better to put ham or cheese on such a piece of bread, it will already be a sandwich that can be cut in half to make it easier to eat. It is permissible to eat such a sandwich from a plate, using a knife and fork.

Sausage, if served unpeeled, peel each piece on a plate with a knife and fork. We eat dry sausage with skin. Thin-skinned sausages can be eaten with it. It is better to remove the thick skin.

Pate - separate the piece with a fork. Spreading pate on bread can only be in the family circle.

Insert the soft-boiled egg into a glass, then hit the edge of the spoon close to the top and remove it. This movement must be fast and energetic, otherwise the tip will not rebound. But if this is exactly what happened, you can remove it with your fingers, the trouble is small. Eat an egg with a spoon.

Scrambled eggs can be eaten with a spoon or fork, depending on the consistency.

Soups often make you get confused: how to tilt the plate - from yourself or towards yourself. We do not tilt the plate at all, just a small amount of the soup remains in the plate. In a family circle, you can slightly tilt the plate away from you. We do not put a spoonful of soup on the table either during or after eating, we leave it in the plate.

Broths, soups, which are served in cups, we drink as we would drink coffee or tea, without using a spoon. We use a spoon when we want to catch croutons floating in the soup, an egg, pieces of meat. But if the soup is served in a cup with two ears, use a spoon.

The chicken in the broth is the first and the second at the same time, so we eat the broth with a spoon from the plate first, then the chicken pieces with a fork and knife.

Fish, both cold and hot, does not allow a knife. We exclusively use a pickled herring knife.

If special devices are served with a fish dish - a spatula and a fork, then we take the spatula in the right hand (plays the role of a knife), the fork in the left. Hold the piece with a fork, separate the bones with a spatula. If two forks are supplied, then the right one is used to separate the bones, while the left one is used to send pieces of fish into the mouth. As a last resort, if we have only one fork at our disposal, we take it in our right hand, in our left - a piece of bread. Now the bread serves to hold the piece of fish, and the fork is used to separate the bones, with its help we bring the piece to the mouth.

If there is a whole fish on our plate (boiled or smoked), then first we separate the upper part of the fillet from the skeleton, eat it, then separate the spine and bones, put it aside, then eat the second part. After we cope with this dish, a relatively aesthetic "still life" in the form of a fish skeleton should remain on the plate.

We imperceptibly put the fish bone lost in the mouth with the tip of the tongue on a fork.

Cancers cannot be eaten without the help of the fingers and, although this is just a mockery of civilization, there is nothing you can do about it.

We eat the bird with a knife and fork. At the same time, it is not necessary to juggle devices on a plate in the sweat of your brow, trying to completely clear all the bones by all means. You need to come to terms with the fact that a little meat will remain with the bone. At home, you can afford to take a chicken leg in your hand.

Meat with vegetables is a problem dish. Today in the world there are conflicting recommendations on how to eat such a dish. According to the first, the meat should be cut into small pieces and the knife should be set aside. According to the second, you must not let go of the knife from the right hand for a minute, and the fork from the left. The first rule is that the Americans are guided. In the European sense, this method is far from elegance. Sticking to the second, it will be correct to cut off a piece of meat, holding it with a fork, turned notch down. On a cut piece of meat, chopped on a fork, put mashed potatoes, which are quite tolerable here. We carry a fork with this side dish to the mouth. And if, in addition to meat and potatoes, there are peas or other "restless" vegetables? Peas will not hold on to a piece of meat, so everyone has a frank desire to put aside the knife, take a fork in their right hand, eat some peas, again take a fork in their left hand, etc. What to do?

The first way out: holding the meat with a fork, cut off a piece, then turn the fork with this piece with the notch up, put the peas in it and, all the time holding it in our left hand, bring it to our mouth.

The second way out: we hold the fork with the belly up, put the peas on the cut piece of meat as long as it will last. We eat all the meat, then, holding the fork in our right hand, we finish the peas (note: we do not put peas with a fork, but we type on it, like on a spatula). If the potatoes are served whole, they should not be crushed on a plate.

We eat the salad served with the meat on a separate plate from the same plate, picking up a little in sequence with what is on the main plate. Green salad, as far as possible, should not be cut with a knife. If it is served so that the leaves are too large, then cut them with a fork or carefully wrap the leaves on it, trying not to leave streams of sour cream on the chin.

Spaghetti, or straw pasta, is very difficult to eat in a way that looks good. There are three ways to handle this Italian dish with dignity.

The first is to use a fork and spoon. We hold the spoon in our left hand. We lower the edge of the spoon into a plate, wrap the pasta on a fork in the recess of the spoon. After winding some pasta on a fork, cut off this portion from the rest with a spoon.

The second way: we hold the fork like a knife prepared for cutting. We lower the fork into the thick of pasta and raise them up, separating a small portion. Then again we lower the fork with pasta into the plate, here we wind them on the fork and quickly send them into the mouth.

Using the third method, we prick the pasta on a fork, which we hold vertically, and in this position we wind a portion corresponding to our capabilities on it. The basic rule is to type no more than two or three strands of pasta on a fork.

Sweet dough is good to eat with forks specially designed for this. If there are none, you can use a spoon.

Dry cakes, gingerbread, gingerbread can be taken with your hands.

Apples, pears, to eat them beautifully, require some balancing act. For this we need a knife and a fork. We cut the fruit into quarters, and then, taking a slice on a fork, remove the skin with a knife, special skill requires the ability to keep the object of our delicacy on the fork. Then, we eat the peeled piece on a plate using a knife and fork.

It is permissible to peel the fruit in hand, but eat it on a plate with a knife and fork.

Cut the peach on a plate, remove the pit. Then we remove the skin using a knife and fork, with their help we eat it, cutting it off piece by piece.

Peel the bananas and eat them with a knife and fork, cutting off into circles.

Oranges can (theoretically) be peeled with a knife and fork, like apples and pears. But in the case of oranges, it would have required the talent of a circus performer. So, turning to practice, we peel the orange as follows: cut the peel crosswise, remove it and divide it into slices.

We do not peel oranges or tangerines in a spiral manner!

The grapefruit is served cut across, the middle is separated from the rind, but remains inside. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and eat with a spoon.

We take cherries and cherries by a twig and send them to the mouth. If possible, unnoticeably spit out the bone into a fist, and then onto our plate. Don't spit out the bones directly onto the plate! We do not collect them in an ashtray!

You can do the same with grapes if you don't like seeds and skins. But grapes are usually eaten whole.

Break the plums with your fingers, put the seeds on a plate.

Strawberries should be served peeled, without greens. It is not nice to crush strawberries served with sugar and sour cream on a plate. The resulting mass does not look very aesthetically pleasing. The same applies to strawberries.

Melon doesn't like a knife. We use a spoon. Watermelon asks to be eaten in the most primitive way, i.e. holding a juicy hunk with both hands. Don't be tempted! A semicircle of a watermelon should be put on a plate, cut off with a knife and, having freed it from the seeds, sent to your mouth on a fork.

Compote, served in a vase, we eat all the time with a spoon. Drinking straight from a vase is ugly. Spit out the seeds of fruit on a spoon and put them on the one standing next to or under the vase. Do not put the seeds back in the compote! And not in the ashtray!

Dinner setting

Rice. 1

Fig 2

Usually, the first course is placed on the table before the guests take their seats. Otherwise, the dinner napkin is on a shallow plate and not to the left of the forks, as shown. There are three ways to place the fish fork, one of which is shown in Figure 1.

Ashtrays are also required. The informal lunch menu is not very strict. It can include as little as two dishes, but usually the number is limited to five. Soup can be skipped, especially if lunch starts with a snack. At an informal dinner, soup is never served in traditional shallow soup bowls.

The salad is usually served with an intermediate course - it's easier this way. A special knife is used depending on the type of salad and whether cheese is served with it.

The salad can be served separately as a fourth course; it can also replace dessert, especially if different types of cheese are served with it.

Dessert serving Rice. 3

For informal dinners, dessert utensils can be placed on the table in advance by placing them in front of a shallow plate. Otherwise, they are brought on a dessert plate, or the hostess herself puts them on a dessert plate and hands them over to the guests along with the dessert. When dessert is served in advance and dessert items are on a full plate, they are not shifted. If the cutlery is on an empty dessert plate, on which the bowl for rinsing the fingers can stand, the guest should put the dessert fork to the left and the dessert spoon to the right of the plate. Left: how to serve a dessert device to a guest: a dessert fork and a dessert spoon lie on a dessert plate, between them there is a bowl for rinsing fingers on a napkin and (or) a small plate (an obligatory accessory for official dinner and lunch).

Right: the guest lays out the dessert utensil as follows: a napkin and a bowl for rinsing fingers are placed in front of the plate on the left, a fork is placed on the left, and a spoon is placed to the right of the dessert plate, and they are waiting for dessert to be served. For an informal dinner, black coffee in small cups can be served along with dessert.

"Connoisseur of Religious Etiquette": Whether you are present at a solemn divine service, at one of the sacraments - baptism, wedding - or at an ordinary prayer in the Orthodox Church, Catholic cathedral, etc., you must behave in full accordance with the customs and rituals accepted in this religion.

Service behavior.

The behavior of each person in the temple is determined by the canons of his faith, however, regardless of religion, all those present at the service demonstrate concentration, dignity and silence.

Before the start of the service, you can smile and nod or wave your friend slightly, and if he is sitting in front of you or next to you, bend over to him and say hello. However, you should not start long conversations, whisper or otherwise attract the attention of others. If you want to introduce someone to your acquaintance, it is better to wait until the end of the service.

How to dress?

Over time, restrictions and prohibitions regarding clothing for attending church have weakened, but, nevertheless, when going to the temple, you must dress strictly.

In Christian churches, the presence of a headdress is no longer required, but in an Orthodox synagogue, married women must wear a headdress - at least a wig. Many women still prefer to go to church wearing hats or veils, and Roman Catholics, brought up in a time when headgear was required in the church, would never enter a temple without at least a scarf or headscarf on their heads. In any case, a hat is permissible, and if you like it and to your face, you can safely wear it to church. And don't be upset if you find yourself in the minority.

Men always take off their headdress when entering a Christian temple, while, on the contrary, they never enter an orthodox synagogue with their heads uncovered.

Gloves are worn mainly in cold weather, but in any case, it is always appropriate to come to church with gloves on.

Where to sit?

If there are church ministers in the church, they escort all parishioners to the pews, but at ordinary services they do not take women by the arm.

How to behave in the service if you profess a different faith?

In the event that the divine service does not contradict your religious convictions, you must perform all the rituals accepted in this church on an equal basis with the parishioners of this temple - get up, sing, pray at the same time when they do. If the canons of your religion do not allow you to take part in some rituals, just sit still and silently until this rite or part of the service is completed.

Connoisseur of dance etiquette

How to invite to dance?

With the word "Shall we dance?" a close friend, lover or husband can invite a woman to dance. An unknown man, inviting a woman to dance, comes up to her, bows slightly and asks permission to invite her.

The woman expresses her agreement with a friendly look and a nod of her head.

A cavalier can offend if a lady makes a mocking or arrogant face at the same time. She'd better give up dancing than go dancing in that mood.

If a woman has already promised this dance to someone else, she warmly thanks the person who invited and says “Thank you, this dance is already promised. "

In this case, the man bows and leaves. If he wants to dance with this partner, he invites her again. After the second refusal, he must understand that he should not invite her anymore.

You shouldn't invite a woman who has a companion. Such an invitation will be impolite towards her partner, who will have to be left alone while his companion is dancing. This applies to those occasions when a dance evening takes place in a restaurant hall and a couple is sitting at a table. At an evening in a hall without tables, you can not adhere to this rule, but even here it does not interfere with knowing a sense of proportion.

A lady who comes accompanied by a gentleman can dance with men unfamiliar to her, by all means having previously coordinated this with her gentleman.

In a restaurant it is not customary to invite the same woman sitting at someone else's table.

It is not accepted to introduce yourself to your partner, inviting her to dance in a restaurant or on a dance floor. If the gentleman dances with the same lady several times, then after the fourth or third dance he should introduce himself to her. At the same time, the lady does not need to give her name.

After the dance, the man is obliged to take his partner to her table and thank for the dance.

"Connoisseur of theatrical etiquette": After the third bell, they are not allowed into the auditorium. Therefore, it is advisable to come to the theater a little earlier, calmly undress in the dressing room, and put yourself in order.

A polite man will help a woman take off her coat, take numbers.

Try to avoid harsh perfumes, colognes, and deodorants.

A man enters the auditorium first, and if you are in the theater with children, it is better to let them go ahead. If two couples enter, a man comes first, followed by two ladies, followed by a second man.

Do not make a displeased face if you are already sitting, and someone is making their way along the row to their place; get up early to let the latecomer through.

Do not sit in other people's seats, as this can cause a lot of trouble, especially if the owners of these places are late.

A man usually sits on the left hand of a woman, but if his place turns out to be more convenient, an attentive man will yield to his lady. Avoid making noise when sitting down and getting up. Do not occupy both armrests. Do not lean on the back of the front seat.

You can leave, but only during the intermission, without attracting attention to yourself. It is not very decent to leave during an action or a performance.

Remember, it is customary to applaud:

At a jazz orchestra concert, you can applaud after the soloist has performed his part, even if the orchestra continues to play.

You can applaud the singer at the beginning of the performance if he starts singing at the request of the audience, in gratitude, but, as a rule, this applause is not long.

At large symphony concerts, it is customary to applaud at the moment when the conductor turns to face the viewer.

If you don't like the show, don't applaud at all. But do not express your dissatisfaction with any other actions.

In the foyer, smoking rooms, buffet, lobby, when meeting acquaintances, you behave as when meeting on the street. This is facilitated by the fact that during the intermission it is customary to walk around the foyer, to stretch out after a long sitting. Walking around the foyer arm in arm is not worth it.

You should also not look at the audience through binoculars before the start of the performance or during the intermission. This is not appropriate. Binoculars only serve to better see what is happening on stage.

When visiting the cinema, you should be guided by the same rules: try to be polite and helpful, not whispering with your neighbor, constantly twisting your head, not sharing your impressions during a screening, not laughing out loud.

Second presenter : We will hold a competition for the norms of etiquette. To participate in the competition, it is necessary that all those present are divided into two teams and sit opposite each other. I will ask questions about practical etiquette, and each team, having consulted among themselves for 1 minute, will give the correct answer. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. If the team to which the question will be asked does not know the answer, then the opposing team can answer and additionally receive an incentive point.
