When you discuss about eating out with your friend, first of all, you must make it clear who will pay for the meal.If somebody suggests having lunch with his friend, he might simply say something like this "I'm afraid it'll have to be some place nearby ,as I have little money." The other person may say. "OK. I'll meet you at  Mcdonald's." This means he has agreed that the two will go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may say "Oh, no. I want to take you for lunch at Johnson's " This means the person is to pay the  bill（帐单）for both of them. Although the other person is pleased with the invitation, there is one reason why he shouldn't accept it by simply saying "Thank you."
American customs are much the same as those in other parts of the world. American women used to expect men to pay for all the meals. But today, some of them like to. However, if a woman is asked to attend a dinner or a dance outside, the invitaton itself means "Come as my guest". So, as you see, it is a polite thing to make the situation clear at the very beginning.
【小题1】             is first of all when you discuss about eating out with your friend.

Dear Alice，
You really have two different questions here，so we’ll discuss them one at a time．
Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things．You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other．It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(谨慎的) in the first term．
It’s also possible that the others are unkind．If this is so，you have to find out why you are the class “outsider．”
In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work．Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to“buy”friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friend near you? They may have felt hurt at that time．It may take a time for them to believe in you if so．Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is．If you hear a negative(负面的)answer，at least you’ll know what to do．
Yours truly，
Shelia
