Hi Yaming,
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!
What does she need help with?
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.

Read Tina’s email. Answer two questions.
Why is Tina nervous?
What does she need help with?
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
