In China, it’s important to bring a gift when ...
It’s important for us to show good manners when we visit friends. In China, we’d better bring a gift when visiting someone. It doesn’t need to be too expensive (昂贵的). For greetings, shaking hands usually works well. When eating, let the older people eat first. Remember not to stick your chopsticks into food or hit the bowl with them. When you have small talk, family life and hobbies seem to be good conversation topics.(答案不唯一，仅供参考)

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.

范文赏析
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.
