транскрипция на русском Aigul: Tom, are you coming to dinner tomorrow? Tom: Yes, but... Aigul: What's wrong? Have you got other plans for tomorrow? Tom: No, no. I'd love to come but I'm a little bit nervous about tomorrow's dinner because I don't know what I have to do. For example, do I have to shake hands when I meet your father and brother? Aigul: Yes, you do. In our country men usually shake hands with each other. Tom: OK. Do I have to bring a present? Aigul: No, you don't. Guests bring presents on special occasions. We're inviting you to show our custom and hospitality. Tom: OK. I heard that you have to take off your shoes when you enter someone's house. Aigul: Yes, that's right. All of us have to take off our shoes at the entrance. Also, tomorrow we're going to sit on the floor around a cloth for food called “dastorkon'. We're going to make our national food, beshbarmak and boorsok. Tom: Are there any rules at the table? Aigul: We have to eat or offer food with our right hand. Tom: Oh, I'm left-handed. Aigul: Don't worry. You don't have to eat with your right hand. Also, we usually open our hands and say a few words of prayer at the end of a meal and then we bring them together. You don't have to follow this custom.​
