In a family restaurant the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her yours. If you don't eat everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you don't like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.

If you ask Daniel Radcliffe who acted Harry Potter to pick a special moment from the last year of his life, you will find it almost impossible. "Oh, wow, that's really difficult," he says with a smile.
"There have been so many things, so many memories that at times it's hard to recall them all," says Daniel. "But I guess one of the best ones was the London premiere for Tbe Pbilosopber's Stone. It was just amazing, one of the best nights of my life."
"But I've had such a great time doing Tbe Cbamber of Secrets. I love doing the work. I love meeting new people and being part of the team. It's been great."
