九年级英语Unit10作文：Chinese table manners
Unit10
Dear Ivan
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs. When you’re eating at the table, it’s impolite to start eating first if there are older people at the table. You should let them start first when you are eating with chopsticks, it is impolite to point at other people with your chopsticks, it is also impolite to stick your chopsticks into the bowl of rice and leave them there.
In our house, you’re supposed to take off your shoes before you enter the house or just inside the front door. In our culture, we don’t usually hug or kiss people.
When you go out with people, you should tell the hostess where you are going, who you are going with and when you will come back. In our culture, the hostess will worry a lot about the safety of her guests, so a polite guest will always let her know these things.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes,
Xiao Wei
