Dear Mr. Zhou,
I’m Li Hua from No. 1 Middle School. I’m writing to be a volunteer at Sunshine Children’s Hospital during the summer holiday. I hope to help clean the hospital and take care of the sick children.
First, I’ve always been willing to help others. Last year, I volunteered at a community center where I organized drawing classes for kids, and I realized how much joy small acts of kindness can bring. I am good at communicating with children — whether it’s telling stories to cheer them up or helping them with simple activities. Also, I’m patient when working with young kids.
I’m eager to do this meaningful work. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Linda,
I’m sorry to hear about your trouble.
In China, giving a clock as a birthday gift isn’t a good idea. Because “giving a clock” in Chinese sounds like an expression connected to death. So people think it brings bad luck. But don’t feel bad—your professor knows you didn’t do it on purpose!
Here are some tips for giving gifts in China. It’s best to choose gifts like tea or flowers packaged in bright colours. Also, use both hands when you give or receive a gift—it shows respect.
If you have more questions about Chinese customs, please feel free to ask me.
Yours,
Li Xue
