Then they go to the bride’s family to give gifts. After that they take some pictures. They ride in a car with red, pink and gold ribbon decoration. In the evening there is a big dinner.

　　It’s true that every country has its customs.

　　We all know that in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign “OK”. But maybe you don’t know that people think this sign is rude in Brazil.

　　In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses(女主人). Remember the number must be an odd one. And the hostess doesn’t hope that you remove the cover of the bunch(束)of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.

　　In China we often hear people say that “nodding” means agreement(同意). And “shaking the head” means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.

　　We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What’s more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment (尴尬). Do remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

　　八、Dear Mike,

　　I’m very glad to receive your letter. Here is some advice for you when you visit a Chinese family. Chinese people like using chopsticks instead of knives and forks. You can always ask for a pair of knives and forks if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough.

　　In China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. Sometimes the Chinese hosts use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it or feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say thank you and leave the food there. When you have had enough, just say “I’m full. Thank you.”

　　You can make some noise especially when you are eating noodles, but don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks because it is not polite.

　　Yours,

　　Wang Hong
