Daisy:Hi,Maria.How was Paul’s party?

Maria:Oh,Daisy,it was terrible.

Daisy:It was?

Maria:Uh-huh.

Daisy:What happened?

Maria:Well,I was supposed to arrive at 7:00,but I arrived at 8:00.

Daisy:Oh,so you were late.

Maria:Yeah,but in my country,it’s different.When you’re invited for 7:00,you’re expected to come later!It’s considered strange to turn up on time.

Daisy:I see.

Maria:Then when I met Paul’s mom,I kissed her.

Daisy:Oh…you were supposed to shake hands instead.

Maria:That’s right.And I wore a fancy dress.

Daisy:What’s wrong with that?

Maria:Well,it turned out that it was an outdoor party,Daisy.Everyone else was in a T-shirt and jeans.

Daisy:I guess next time you should ask what you’re supposed to wear.
