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! 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

名言警句
Sample
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
