63、 when you go to a Chinese family. Now, let me tell you about it. When invited to a Chinese friends home, you should arrive a little earlier so that you can help the family prepare the dinner. At the same time, a proper gift should be brought with you to show respect for the host. Besides, you should

64、 pay attention to some table manners. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how delicious it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite “thank you” and leave the food there. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, instead, lay them on your dish. Otherwise, its thought extremely impolite. The reason for this is that it seems to mean a sacrifice to the dead. All in all, “When in China, do as the Chinese do ” is your best choice. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua
