答案及解析:
知识点:书面表达
Dear Terry,
From your last letter, I learnt that you have no idea about how you should behave when you go to a Chinese family. Now, let me tell you about it.
When invited to a Chinese friend’s 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 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, it’s 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

Dear Terry,
How are you doing? In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend's home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is meaningful and interesting. Besides, you'd better bring some gifts, like a book or a Chinese knot. What's more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
