Answer 1

One possible version：
Dear Paul,
You mentioned you are interested in Chinese table manners, so I’m writing to give you a brief introduction.
When a dinner begins, the host will invite the guests to get seated first. Then one major feature you should remember in China is that we use chopsticks instead of knife and fork, and everyone should try to avoid making unpleasant noise while eating. Whenever a dish is served, the guests are supposed to try it first. Of course, as guests, we should express our thanks to the host after enjoying the dinner.
Such are the basic tips about Chinese table manners. All in all, “When in China, do as the Chinese do” is your best choice.  (115 words)
Yours truly,
Li Hua
