【答案】例文Dear Nancy,
I’m glad to hear that you are coming to China. Let me tell you some customs in China.
When you first meet someone, you’re supposed to shake hands instead of hugging or kissing the person. If
you visit a Chinese friend, you should call first. You’re supposed to bring your friend a small gift and you’d better
arrive at your friend’s house on time. Chinese people usually use chopsticks at the table and have some tea after
meals. You are supposed to eat up the food that the host gives you. After meals, say something good about the
food and have small talk with your host.
I hope that the advice is helpful. Please feel free to ask me if you want to know more.
Yours,
Li Hua

My Experience of Crossing Cultures
Last summer, I joined a cultural exchange program in India. It was my first time to cross cultures, and I
learned a lot.
First, I learned namaste, the Indian greeting. I should do it instead of shaking hands. Then, I tried eating
curry with my hands. At first, I was embarrassed, but I soon got used to it. I also learned that we should be polite
and respect local customs.
This experience taught me that understanding different cultures helps us communicate better. I hope to have
more cross-cultural activities in the future.

Dear Chris,
I’m glad to know that you’re interested in Chinese social manners. Here are some basic etiquette in daily
life. First, we Chinese are supposed to shake hands when we meet for the first time. Second, we use chopsticks to
have meals while you use your forks at the table. Also, it’s bad manners to talk too much when you’re having
meals. It’s polite to accept it when the host adds food to your plate or bowl. Don’t point at anyone with your
chopsticks. Don’t make any noise when you eat your soup. I hope you’ll have a wonderful time in our country.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!

【答案】例文
Dear Jim,
I heard you will come to China and worry about not knowing Chinese customs. I’d like to share some with
you.
In China, people usually shake hands when meeting for the first time. When greeting elders, we often use
respectful titles like “Grandpa” or “Aunt”. At meals, it’s polite to let older people start eating first. These customs
not only show respect but also help build harmonious relationships. My advice is to observe locals’ behavior first.
If unsure, ask politely—most people will be glad to help.
I hope you’ll have a great time in China.

【答案】例文
We are going to hold a talk on “Good manners in the UK”. The purpose of the talk is to teach students
about British etiquette.
When meeting someone for the first time, you should say “Hello” or “How do you do” and shake hands.
It’s polite to talk about the weather, but avoid topics like age, income and marital status. In public places, be polite
and wait in line. Don’t litter, jump the queue or talk loudly. At the dinner table, start eating only when everyone is
ready and use knives and forks correctly. Never reach across others’ plates or chew loudly.
Good manners help you make more friends. Learning proper etiquette is important for everyone.

【答案】Dear Alice,
I am glad to know that you are coming to China as an exchange student next month. To help you adapt
smoothly, I’d like to share some cultural differences between China and the West.
Firstly, in China, people often use chopsticks instead of forks and knives. Meals are usually shared with
others, so don’t be surprised if everyone eats from the same dishes. Secondly, English relies on word order while
Chinese depends on tones. It would be helpful if you try to learn some basic phrases like “nihao” and “xiexie”.
Thirdly, the schools here care about a tidy look. Students usually wear school uniforms. Maybe having dyed hair
or wearing too fancy accessories isn’t allowed. My advice? Try local foods bravely, practice simple Chinese daily,
and follow school dress codes. Don’t worry—everyone is friendly!
I’m sure you’ll love your time here. See you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
