coming to stay at your house for two weeks, what is the ONE thing you are most worried they might do wrong at the dinner table ?

Presentation
Watch and say
What problem did the man meet?
People kept adding food into his bowl,
but he didn’t know how to refuse it politely and effectively.
Could you give him some advice?
He should first refuse politely and clearly, like “The food is so delicious, but I am full”, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks to stop eating.
Due to the cultural differences, foreigners often come across such situations. So it is necessary to know something about manners
in China.
Today, we are going to meet another student, Tina, who is also coming to China. She has some worries about cultural differences too. Let's read her email carefully and see how we can help her.
What’s the genre of the passage?
