名言警句
Dear Tina,
I’m so glad that you are coming to China soon. Now, I’d like to share some tips about the Chinese customs with you.
Firstly, it’s common to greet people by shaking hands and saying “Ni hao” when you meet somebody for the first time in China. Secondly, remember to bring a small gift, such as fruit or flowers. And be sure to take off your shoes as soon as you enter their home. Thirdly, you shouldn’t start eating first unless the host asks you to at the table. Besides, never stick the chopsticks into a bowl of rice or point at others with your chopsticks — they’re considered to be rude. As for good conversation topics, food and hobbies are safe.
I hope the advice is helpful. Please feel free to ask if you want to know more.
Yours,
Yaming
