Welcome to our charming city, Ningbo and you will surely have a great time here. Probably you will come across some culture differences, especially the table manners. While having meals, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of a knife and fork, but that's only superficial（表面的）一Besides, in the more upscale（高級的）restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks unavailable. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of as many different types of dishes as possible.

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food (主食) ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so beforehand提前）,as most of the Chinese prefer to have the staple food at the end of the meal or have none of at all.

Perhaps one of the things that surprises Western visitors most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto the plates of their guests. At formal dinners, there are always "serving" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This should be taken as a sign of true friendship and politeness.

It is always poise to eat the food. If you do not want to eat it, just leave the food on the plate.

People in China tend to over-order food, as it is embarrassing to the host if all the food is finished.

When you have had enough, just say no. Or you will find yourself always overeating!

Dear Morey,

I just got your letter with the picture of you riding your e-bike to work. From the smile on your face, I can tell how much you' enjoy that. I still remember when you could hardly ride a bicycle. You've come a long way!

Now here's some advice. I'm sure you're a good rider. But it is dangerous to ride without a helmet（頭盔）. So please get yourself a helmet. Wear it every time you ride. A helmet will help protect you from a head injury.

No, I'm not trying to be a bossy（多管事的）know-it-all. I just don't want a bad fall to: take that smile away from your face. When you visit me this summer, bring your helmet. Let's enjoy some great rides together!

Your cousin,

Vera
