Answer 1

【答案】

One possible version:

Dear Tom,

I’m very glad to hear from you. You said you wanted to learn some Chinese table manners. Now let me tell you something.

Before a meal, guests and seniors are seated first. Other people should not begin eating until the guests and the seniors start. Unlike Westerners, the Chinese usually put many dishes on the table and everybody shares them together. While eating Chinese hosts usually take good care of their guests and often use serving chopsticks or spoons to add food to guests’ plates. After the meal, guests should express their thanks to hosts and their satisfaction with the delicious meal. In short, when in China do as the Chinese do.

I hope you will find my information useful.

Yours,

Li Hua
