向外国人介绍中国习俗

假如你是苏敏，你的美国笔友Tina发来电子邮件，说她下周要来中国，但对中国的风俗习惯、见面礼仪及餐桌礼仪了解很少，于是向你寻求帮助，请你给她回一封电子邮件，告诉她有关中国风俗习惯、见面礼仪及餐桌礼仪的情况。

提示：

1. 风俗习惯的不同：中国人第一次见面时握手;

2. 见面时谈论的内容;

3. 餐桌礼仪的不同：我们用筷子就餐;就餐时不能用筷子指着别人;就餐时不可以多说话等。

【优秀范文】

Dear Tina,

亲爱的蒂娜,

I'm very happy to hear that you're coming to china next week. I hope to see you soon.

听说你下周要来中国，我很高兴。我希望很快见到你。

As we all know, different countries have different customs. So the manners in China are very different from those in your country. Let me tell you something about customs and manners in our country.

我们都知道，不同的国家有不同的习俗。所以中国的礼仪和你们国家的很不一样。让我告诉你一些关于我们国家的风俗习惯。

First, we Chinese are supposed to shake hands when we meet for the first time. Then we greet each other. After that, you can talk about something relaxing. But you are not supposed to talk about someone's salary, age and so on. Second, we use chopsticks to have meals while you use your forks at table. Also, it's bad manners to talk too much when you're having meals.

首先，我们中国人应该在第一次见面时握手。然后我们互相问候。之后，你可以谈论一些放松的事情。但是你不应该谈论某人的工资、年龄等。第二，我们用筷子吃饭，而你在餐桌上用叉子。此外，吃饭时说话太多也是不礼貌的。

I hope you'll have a wonderful time in our country.

我希望你在我们国家过得愉快。
