【中考篇】Chinese social manners

Dear Robert,

I'm glad to know that you are interested in Chinese Social manners. Now， I will tell you something about them.

When it comes to meeting people for the first time ，It is important to arrive on time.Generally speaking, before shaking hands with others, we introduce ourselves first, then ask for other people's names politely. If invited to other's house, we may take a gift with us, but it doesn't have to be something of great value.

As for table manners in China, we eat meals using chopsticks. All the dishes are placed on the table and everyboby shares. During the meal, it's not surprising that the host may put some food into your bowl or plate using their chopsticks. If so, "thank you" is good enough.

I hope the above is helpful. Please feel free to ask for more information.


Yours,

Li Hua

亲爱的罗伯特,

我很高兴知道你对中国的社交礼仪感兴趣。现在，我将告诉你一些关于它们的事情。

当你第一次和别人见面时，准时到达是很重要的。一般来说，在与别人握手之前，我们先介绍自己，然后礼貌地询问别人的名字。如果被邀请去别人家，我们可以带礼物，但不一定是很贵重的东西。

至于中国的餐桌礼仪，我们用筷子吃饭。所有的菜都摆在桌子上，大家分享着吃。吃饭时，主人可能会用筷子把一些食物放进你的碗或盘子里，这并不奇怪。如果是这样，“谢谢”就足够了。

我希望以上是有帮助的。请随时询问更多信息。


你的,

李华
