Let’s learn .
One more week to go ! I’m so excited to see you. I’ll meet the Zhaos as soon as I land in Shanghai. I’ll be staying with their family for two weeks, and I’m a little nervous! Mr and Mrs are both in their forties, and they have a son who is younger than me. His grandmother also lives with them.
Could you give me some advice? Should I bring a gift? In America, we usually bring the host something small, like food. Is that a good idea? Also, what are the right table manners? What are some good conversation topics in China? Is there anything else I should know? I’m worried about doing something silly. It could give people the false impression that I’m a rude person. First impressions are so important that I don’t want to say or do anything wrong!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon !

Hi, Tina
I’m so excited to see you too! I’m sure you’ll have a great time in Shanghai.
I’m happy to give you sme advice. In China, we usually take a small gift for the host too. Some flowers or furit, or perhaps something nice from your hometown would be a good idea. There are several table manners to pay more attention to. Always to be seated, and wait for the elders to start eating first. Don’t stick your chopsticks into your food or point at others with your chopsticks. At last, don’t forget to say everything was delicious. When talking with others, don’t talk about personal topics. You could talk about hobbies, study and food at home. More importantly, don’t worry about leaving a false impression. Chinese people have a good understanding of cultural differences. let me know how it goes. I’m excited to hear about it.
See you soon!
