Do as the Romans Do
The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is fed up with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some diet, Pepsi Cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

On the first day of 2nd grade, my father asked me if I could read well. “Yes, I can,” I said. So he gave me a map with street names and directions on how to walk to school. School is 3 miles away, and I had never been off my home street by myself, ever.
My father said, “Lily, everything you need to know is written on the map. Read the map and follow the directions.” My father kissed me goodbye and sent me out the door. I was afraid. How could I walk to school alone? On my way to school, I cried as I walked.
I don’t know how long it took for me to get to school, but I do remember how I felt when I came around the last street corner and saw my school. I jumped up and down. I wished I could tell my father that I made it.
My father wasn’t there when I got home and I was asleep when he got home. The next day I waited for him to ask what had happened. He never did. Years later I asked him why he did that and why he didn’t care about what had happened. He just looked at me for a while and then said, “I didn’t have to ask you because I knew. I followed you all the way. I saw you jump up and down at the last street corner. I felt what you felt.” Then I understood and I cried.

However, I feel that I need to improve my listening and speaking skills. This is because I’m planning to study at London University in England next year and I think your lessons will help me to live and study abroad.
Could you send me some more information about the lessons offered, such as where and when they will be held and how much they cost? Also, I would like to know whether you teach students in groups or one-on-one.
I would be glad to supply any further information you might need.
Regards,
Li Hua

Do as the Romans Do
The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is fed up with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some diet, Pepsi Cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

C
I grew up in a very poor common family. My father used some unusual ways to teach us and rarely spared us from the school of hard lessons. This is the one I value most.
On the first day of 2nd grade, my father asked me if I could read well. “Yes, I can,” I said. So he gave me a map with street names and directions on how to walk to school. School is 3 miles away, and I had never been off my home street by myself, ever.
My father said, “Lily, everything you need to know is written on the map. Read the map and follow the directions.” My father kissed me goodbye and sent me out the door. I was afraid. How could I walk to school alone? On my way to school, I cried as I walked.
I don’t know how long it took for me to get to school, but I do remember how I felt when I came around the last street corner and saw my school. I jumped up and down. I wished I could tell my father that I made it.
My father wasn’t there when I got home and I was asleep when he got home. The next day I waited for him to ask what had happened. He never did. Years later I asked him why he did that and why he didn’t care about what had happened. He just looked at me for a while and then said, “I didn’t have to ask you because I knew. I followed you all the way. I saw you jump up and down at the last street corner. I felt what you felt.” Then I understood and I cried.
