grammar focus: negative phrases for positive actions
      you shouldn't slurp soup from the bowl

language point
    if someone is eating messily,(make the food fell out from bowl or mounth on the table)
    greedily(eat too much),
    and without taking their time to enjoy eating we can say they are eating like a pig
    (means not chewing and tasting , shovel the food quikly)

culture point:relax
    most restaurants and dinner parties these days are fairly relaxed and more laid back than before.
 formal banquet or formal restaurants are the only places where extreme etiquette may still be used.

   the truth is ,these days,table manners are mainly used to teach children to be well-behaved at the dinner
table.
utensil ,common utensil means the public utensil .
