Hi Yaming,
One more week to go! I’m so excited to see you. I’ll meet the Zhaos as soon as l land in Shanghai. I’ll be staying with their family for two weeks, and I’m a little nervous! Mr and Mrs Zhao 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!
Cheers,
Tina

Dear Tina,
I’m so excited to hear that you’ll be visiting the Zhaos! Here are some suggestions
to help you prepare.
Firstly, it’s a nice gesture to bring a small gift when visiting a Chinese family. You
could bring some fruits, drinks or snacks from your country. You can greet them
with “Nǐ hǎo” and a smile. Handshakes are common, but wait for them to offer first.

Secondly, at the dinner table, you’s better wait for the elders to start eating
first. The Grandmother will likely be served first as a sign of respect. Try a
bit of every dish offered to you, and never stick your chopsticks into the rice
bowl.
As for conversation, you can talk about Chinese culture, food, or ask about
their son’s hobbies. Avoid discussing personal topics like income or age
unless they bring it up.
Don’t worry too much—they’ll appreciate your effort to be respectful.
Have a wonderful time!
Best wishes,
Yaming
