招待外国友人的建议英语作文150词全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hosting Friends From Other CountriesHello everyone! My name is Emily and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to share some tips on how to be a great host if you have friends visiting from another country. My family has welcomed many international guests over the years, so I know a thing or two about making them feel at home!First, it's really important to learn a few basic phrases in their language before they arrive. Things like "hello", "thank you", and "my name is..." can go a long way in making them feel comfortable. It shows you've made an effort and it's fun to practice new words!Next, find out if there are any special foods they really enjoy from their country. My mom always asks ahead of time about dietary needs or favorite dishes. Then she tries to prepare some familiar meals for them during their stay. One time when our friends from Mexico visited, she made homemade tamales andthey were so excited! Food can really help someone feel welcome.Another big part of hosting is having activities planned so your guests don't get bored. But don't go overboard with too many things! Ask what kinds of interests they have and then put together a few options they might enjoy. Maybe it's going to a museum, playing at a park, or seeing a baseball game. You want a good balance between scheduled events and free time to just relax.Speaking of free time, make sure you have some things prepared to do at home too. Teach them games you like to play, or have movies lined up you can all watch together with snacks. Crafts and puzzles are fun too. One year I taught our friends from Japan how to make friendship bracelets!Above all, the most important thing is to make your guests feel welcomed and accepted. Explain your daily routines and family rules to them. Involve them in your usual activities when possible. And be sure to ask lots of questions about their lives and culture too - it's an amazing opportunity to learn!If there's a language barrier, be patient and don't get frustrated. Use hand gestures, drawings, or a translation app if needed. The most important thing is that everyone is smiling andhaving a good time. Before you know it, you'll start picking up phrases in their language too. Hosting friends from other countries is such a fun way to make new friends and learn about different cultures.So those are my top suggestions for being a great host! It might seem like a lot of work at first, but it's so worth it. Some篇2How to Be a Great Host for Foreign FriendsHaving friends visit from other countries is super exciting! You get to learn about their culture, try new foods, and make memories that will last a lifetime. But being a good host can be hard work too. Here are my top tips for making your foreign friends feel welcome and having an awesome time together:Before They ArriveThe first step is getting ready for their visit. Ask your parents if your friends can stay at your house or if you need to book a hotel. Find out if they have any dietary restrictions like being vegetarian or allergies. Ask what kinds of activities they enjoy so you can plan fun outings.Learn a few words in their language like "hello," "thank you," and "please." It shows you made an effort and they'll be impressed! If their language uses a different alphabet, practice writing out their names correctly.Once you know their flight details, make a welcome sign to greet them at the airport. Use bright colors and decorate it with flags or stickers from their country. Offering a small gift like local snacks or a t-shirt from your town is also a kind gesture.During Their StayWhen your friends first arrive, give them a quick tour of your home so they know where everything is. Show them their room, bathroom, kitchen, etc. Provide fresh towels, soap, wifi password, and anything else they may need.Food is a huge part of experiencing a new culture. Take them to your favorite casual restaurants as well as fancier places to try your regional cuisine. But also ask what dishes they're craving from their homeland and find an authentic restaurant or grocery store where you can get those foods. Offer to cook a meal together so they can show you how to make one of their staple dishes.Plan a mix of activities - some touring famous sites, but also more low-key hangouts. A day just strolling around neighborhoods, parks, and markets can give them a glimpse into daily life. If there are natural spots like beaches, hiking trails, or lakes nearby, spend some time in nature too.Let your friends sleep in one morning and make them a big breakfast with pancakes, waffles, or whatever breakfast foods your region is known for. It's the little things like that they'll remember!Don't forget about downtime too. Your friends may want some chill evenings after busy days of touring and activities. Maybe have a video game tournament, binge-watch movies from their country, or just hang out in the backyard roastings'mores.One special thing to do is attend a festival, parade, or cultural event happening while they visit. It's a glimpse into your community's traditions. Explain what's going on and let them be part of the celebration.Before They LeaveAs their visit winds down, ask if there's anything else they wanted to do that you can squeeze in. Make sure you'veexchanged social media info to stay in touch. Offer for them to take leftover snacks, souvenirs, or anything they may not have gotten during their stay.On their final day, you could prepare a little going away basket with more local goodies for them to take home and reminisce about the trip. Things like hot sauce, candy, small ornaments, or magnets work well.Lastly, get one last group photo all together and have your friends write a quick review about their favorite parts of the visit. You can make it into a scrapbook so you'll always remember the amazing time you had hosting!The Most Important ThingWhile things like sightseeing and food are awesome, the best part about hosting friends from another country is the chance to connect. Be curious about their lives and listen with an open mind and heart. Share about your own traditions and experiences too. The way to make someone feel most welcome is through kindness, patience and respect. If you can provide that, your foreign friends are sure to have an unforgettable, incredible visit. What could be better than bringing two cultures together through a new friendship? Now get out there and be the best host ever!篇3Welcoming Friends from Other CountriesHi there! My name is Lily and I'm in the 5th grade. Today I want to share some tips on how to be a great host if you have friends visiting from another country. It's really fun to show people around your hometown and help them experience your culture. But it can also be a little tricky since there are differences in customs and languages. Don't worry though, I've got you covered with this guide!First up, let's talk about preparing for their arrival. It's polite to ask ahead of time about any dietary restrictions or preferences they might have. Some people don't eat certain foods for religious reasons, while others could have allergies or just strong likes and dislikes. Make sure your home is clean and tidy too - you want your guests to feel comfortable. Have some maps and brochures ready about interesting places to take them around town.When they first get there, greet them warmly! Use simple English if they don't know your language very well. Speak slowly and clearly. You can learn a few basic phrases in their language too to show you've made an effort. Things like "hello", "thankyou", "you're welcome" and so on. It makes people feel really special when you try their language.As the host, your job is to make sure everyone has a good time. Plan some fun activities suited to their interests, but also leave some free time to just relax. Don't be afraid to ask if they'd like to do something specific. Sharing meals is a great way to experience different cuisines, so take them to restaurants serving your local specialties. But also let them sample your home cooking!When sightseeing, provide some background information in case certain traditions or customs are new to them. For example, you could explain reasons behind certain behaviors, dress codes, building styles and so on. But don't lecture them for hours - just give little bits of context here and there as needed. Ask questions about their culture too and be respectful of differences.Another handy tip is to snap lots of pictures together. Photos help capture wonderful memories of the visit. Take group shots at famous landmarks, but also get some candid shots of meals, conversations, or just walking around. Print out copies as a little gift before they leave.Most importantly, relax and just try to have fun! Don't stress if there are minor miscommunications or misunderstandings.Use a translation app if you get stuck. Laugh things off and keep an open mind about learning from each other. Some of the most rewarding friendships bloom despite language barriers.Hosting students or families from other countries is such an amazing experience. You get to be an ambassador representing篇4Welcoming Friends from Other CountriesHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. I love meeting new people from different places and learning about their cultures. Last summer, my family hosted a student from France named Amelie and it was such a fun experience! If you get a chance to host an international visitor, here are some tips I can share.First off, learn a few words in their language beforehand so you can greet them properly. Amelie thought it was really nice when I said "Bonjour!" and "Comment allez-vous?" when she arrived. You don't have to be fluent, just showing you made an effort means a lot.Next, ask them about any dietary needs or restrictions they have. Some visitors may not eat certain foods for religious orcultural reasons. Amelie didn't eat beef or pork, so we made sure to prepare lots of chicken, fish, and vegetable dishes when she stayed with us. If you're unsure, just ask! They'll appreciate you being considerate.Another tip is to learn about their customs and traditions. Before Amelie came, my mom and I read books from the library about French culture. We found out things like it's considered rude to workwear shoes inside the house in France. Little things like taking our shoes off made Amelie feel more at home.Be ready to answer lots of questions too! Amelie was really curious about American food, schools, holidays, you name it. I had fun teaching her about things like Halloween, Square Dancing, and S'mores. Having printed out pictures or videos to show helps bring your explanations to life.If your visitor is another student, it's also nice to invite them to your school for a day if possible. Amelie came to my elementary school and got to observe my classes, eat in the cafeteria, and join an art lesson. She loved seeing how an American school worked.When it's time for meals, making a few regional dishes from their home country is a thoughtful gesture. We learned how to make cool French foods like crepes and croque monsieurs (afancy grilled ham and cheese). Amelie was so excited to have familiar tastes from home.Ultimately, just focus on making your visitor feel welcome and comfortable. Show them around your town and spend quality time together. Use it as a chance to learn about their language and culture. Sharing customs is one of the best ways to connect across countries!I had such an amazing experience hosting Amelie. We've kept in touch and my family is actually going to visit her in France next spring! I'd highly encourage other kids to host an international student if they can. It's a wonderful way to make a new friend and get a glimpse into a different way of life. Just be a friendly face with an open mind and open heart!篇5Tips for Hosting Foreign FriendsHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to share some cool tips about having friends from other countries come visit. It's super fun but also kind of tricky sometimes. Like last summer when my buddy Daisuke came to stay with us from Japan for a couple weeks!The first big thing is to get ready for them coming. You want to make sure their room is all clean and fixed up nice. Put out fresh towels and sheets on the bed. Maybe pick some flowers from your garden for a little welcome! It's nice to have a few snacks they might like too. Daisuke loved salt and vinegar potato chips which is kinda weird if you ask me.Next is picking them up from the airport or train station or wherever they're coming into town. Make sure you have signs with their name so they can find you easily. Don't forget to bring water for the ride too in case they're thirsty. The airplane air can be really dry.When they get to your house, give them a tour! Show them around all the rooms and where the bathroom is and everything. Explain any weird rules you have too like no shoes in the house. You don't want funny mix-ups.Food can be one of the biggest challenges with foreign guests. They might not be used to the kinds of things you eat normally. Like Daisuke wouldn't touch anything with cheese on it! So weird. Ask them if they have any favorite dishes or snacks you could make. That's always a nice treat. But also don't be afraid to let them try your everyday regular stuff too. Just make sure to explain what it is if it's something totally new to them.Another fun idea is to teach them games and toys that are popular where you live. Daisuke had never played jump rope before! We had a blast teaching him that and other playground games. He taught us some cool Japanese ones too.Don't forget to take them around and be a tour guide too! Show them cool spots in your town like parks, museums, cafes, whatever. Ask them what kinds of places they want to see. Big cities can be overwhelming for someone from a smaller village.Most importantly, talk to them a lot! Ask questions about their home and their life. Kids are naturally super curious which is great. Just be respectful obviously. And don't be afraid to let them practice your language. Daisuke's English was pretty good but he loved when I would gently correct little mistakes.Having foreign friends over is such an amazing way to learn about new cultures. You get to be an ambassador for your own too! Just be a good host - Make them feel safe, full, and welcome. With some planning and flexibility, you'll have incredible memories together!So those are my best tips! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always happy to share advice about being an excellent cross-cultural pal. Bye for now!篇6How to Be a Great Host for Foreign FriendsHey there! My name is Sammy and I'm a 5th grader. I love making new friends, especially friends from different countries and cultures. Having foreign friends visit is so much fun, but it can also be a little confusing if you've never hosted someone from another place before. That's why I'm going to share my best tips for being an awesome host!First up, it's really important to learn a few words and phrases in your friend's language. Even just saying "hello" and "thank you" can mean a lot. It shows you care about their culture. But don't worry if you can't learn the whole language - just try your best! My Japanese friend Hiro thought it was really cool when I learned to say "konnichiwa" which means hello.Next, you'll want to prepare them for some of the things that might seem strange or different here compared to where they're from. Like, in my house we always take our shoes off at the front door. Or sometimes we eat meals like pancakes or pizza with our hands instead of utensils. Explain those little customs so they don't feel confused.Food is a huge part of hosting too! Ask your friend about any dietary restrictions they have, like being vegetarian or allergic to certain foods. And find out what kinds of dishes are popular where they're from. Maybe you can try cooking one together - that's an awesome way to learn about their cuisine and culture. Just be ready for new flavors and spices you might not be used to.While your friend is visiting, make sure to show them around the cool spots in your town or city. The museums, parks, historical sites - anything you think is special about where you live. And if there are restaurants that serve food from their country, take them there! They'll be so excited.Another fun idea is to teach them games or sports that are popular where you live. And have them teach you some games from their culture too. You might be surprised by how different or similar they are to what you're used to playing.Most importantly, just be a friendly face! Try to make them feel welcome and comfortable. Use simple words and speak slowly if there's a language barrier. Ask lots of questions about their life and home. And share things about yourself too - that's how you build bonds with new friends.I've had friends visit from Mexico, Japan, France, you name it. And you know what? We're all really not that different when you get to know eac。

向外国朋友介绍中国礼仪的英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Friends From Other Countries, Let Me Tell You About Chinese Manners!Hi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Beijing, China with my mom, dad, and little sister Huanhuan. Today I want to tell you all about proper manners and etiquette in China. We have lots of customs that might seem strange if you're not used to them. But they are very important in our culture!One of the biggest things in Chinese etiquette is respect for elders and authority figures. In China, we are taught from a very young age to listen to our parents, grandparents, teachers, and other adults. We call older people "Auntie" or "Uncle" even if they aren't really our aunts or uncles. It's just a polite way to address them.When meeting an elder or teacher, we always greet them with a respectful title like "Grandma Wang" or "Principal Li". We never just use their first name unless they say it's okay. It'sconsidered very rude! We're also supposed to let elders go first through doorways and things like that. Basically, we put their needs before our own as a sign of respect.Another big part of Chinese manners is around meals. There are a lot of special rules! We always wait for the oldest person at the table to start eating before we begin. It's bad manners to start eating before them. And you aren't supposed to stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice - that's only done with the rice offering at funerals, so it's unlucky.When someone pours you tea or passes you a dish, you're supposed to use both hands and give a little nod to say thanks. If someone makes a toast, you have to stay silent and just lightly tap the table with your finger instead of clinking glasses. Clinking is seen as rude. Oh, and you should never ever stick your chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice and leave them there - that looks like the incense sticks we put in front of ancestral tablets at holidays. Not good!There are also Chinese manners about how to act in public and at someone's home. For example, it's considered impolite to blow your nose at the dinner table. You're supposed to excuse yourself and go to the bathroom. But on the street, it's no problem. Weird, right?Another one is you should never ever walk around your home without wearing shoes or slippers. That's considered dirty because you might track in stuff from outside. But when you go to someone else's house, you always take your shoes off at the door! That's good manners.Gifts are a huge part of Chinese etiquette too. Like, whenever you visit someone's home, even a friend's, you're supposed to bring a small gift. It doesn't have to be fancy - some fruit or cookies is fine. But you can't bring something useless or it seems like you don't care about them. Definitely don't give scissors, anything sharp, or clocks - those gifts are unlucky!When you get a gift, you aren't supposed to open it right away in front of the gift-giver. That's seen as greedy. You wait until they leave to open it. And don't go crazy saying how great it is - that's bragging. Just say a simple "Thank you" and leave it at that. Oh and never, ever re-gift something in China. That's super rude!Speaking of gifts, you'll get lots of red envelopes with money inside on holidays and special occasions if you're a kid. We call them "hongbao" and they're supposed to bring good luck and fortune. But you can't just spend the money - that's considereddisrespectful to the gift's spirit. You're supposed to save some or all of it.There are tons of other little manners, like you should never write someone's name in red ink because that's for the names of the deceased. And you shouldn't play games or make too much noise during the Qingming festival when we visit ancestors' graves. Oh and you have to use honorific titles like "Venerable Master" when speaking to monks or "Teacher" to doctors. The list goes on!I know it seems like a lot of weird and random rules. But good manners and etiquette are a really big deal in Chinese society. They show respect for others, for traditions, and for society. My parents are always getting onto me about my manners!So those are some basics about Chinese etiquette. I hope I explained it all clearly. It might take some getting used to if you're just visiting China. But stick to the rules and you'll fit right in. We place a lot of importance on propriety and doing things the proper way. Just show respect and mind your Ps and Qs and you'll be great! Let me know if you have any other questions!篇2My Foreign Friends, Let Me Tell You About Chinese Etiquette!Hi friends! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Beijing, the capital city of China. Today I want to tell you all about Chinese etiquette. Etiquette means the way we behave politely in different situations. Chinese people have very interesting etiquette rules that come from our long history and traditions.Let's start with greeting people. When Chinese people meet, we often say "Ni hao" which means "hello" in English. We don't shake hands like in Western countries. Instead, we put our hands together in front of our chest and slightly bow our head. This is called "zuoyi" and it shows respect. Older people are very important in China, so we must greet them first using the polite titles "Grandma", "Grandpa", "Auntie" or "Uncle" even if they're not our real relatives.When it's time to eat, there are lots of etiquette rules! We don't usually eat with knives and forks. We use chopsticks instead - it's not easy for beginners! You have to hold them properly with just a few fingers. At the dinner table, you should wait until the oldest person starts eating before you begin. It's polite to make a slurping sound when eating noodles or soup toshow you're enjoying the food. But you must never stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice bowl - that looks like incense sticks for the dead!At home, it's important to be a good guest. You should always take off your shoes at the door before entering. Accept any food or drink your host offers you, even if you're not hungry. It's very rude to refuse! When you're leaving, you can say "I'm leaving now" instead of "goodbye", which sounds too final. We like to make our guests feel welcome to come back soon.One of the most special etiquette traditions is giving gifts. Gifts are usually wrapped in red paper because red means happiness and luck. But you should never give a gift with just one item - that's unlucky. It needs to be an even number like 2, 4 or 8 items. The most common gift is often fruit like oranges, which sounds like the word for "wealth". When receiving a gift, you shouldn't open it right away in front of the gift-giver. That's impolite.I hope you can see that etiquette in China is very interesting! It comes from ideas like showing respect, being a good host, and bringing good luck. Of course, as a kid there are still many etiquette rules I need to learn. I'm sure I'll make some mistakes as I get older. But etiquette helps guide us to be better peoplewho are kind, polite and thoughtful to everyone around us. I'm proud of my Chinese culture and traditions. Thanks for listening to me talk about this important part of my country!篇3My Foreign Friends and Chinese MannersHello my foreign friends! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I'm from Beijing, the capital city of China. Today I want to tell you all about Chinese manners and etiquette. In China, we think manners are very important!Let me start by telling you how to greet people politely in China. When we meet someone new, we put our hands together and slightly bow our head. We call this a "gesture of courtesy" or "li." We don't shake hands or hug when meeting new people. That would be too informal and impolite.When we enter someone's home, we always take off our shoes at the door. It's very rude to wear outdoor shoes inside. We have special indoor slippers to wear instead. You should also never step on the raised portion near the door, as that area is symbolic.Gift giving is a big part of Chinese culture. Any time we visit someone's home, we always bring a small gift like fruits,chocolates, flowers or tea. The gift should always be wrapped nicely too. But never give scissors, clocks or pears as gifts, because these items are symbols of separation or misfortune.Table manners are extremely important in China. We never stick our chopsticks straight up in the rice, as that looks like incense for the dead. We also never point our chopsticks at someone, as that is very rude.When eating rice or noodle soups, we slightly lift the bowl close to our mouths, but never drink directly from the bowl. That's considered very sloppy. We also never turn the fish over when eating, as the Chinese word for "turn over" sounds like the word for "overturn" which is unlucky.After eating, we always use toothpicks very discreetly by covering our mouths with one hand. It's not polite to pick teeth openly at the table. Burping or making loud noises while eating is also considered extremely rude.Now let me tell you about using chopsticks properly. We never cross our chopsticks in an X shape or stick them vertically into a bowl of rice, as this symbolizes death. Instead, when not using chopsticks, we rest them across the top of the plate or bowl in parallel position.When passing food to others with chopsticks, we use the thick end and never the end that goes into the mouth. We also never point chopsticks at someone's face, as this is disrespectful. Using chopsticks to shovel food into our mouths is sloppy too - we take small bites instead.Colors are very symbolic in China too. Red is the luckiest color representing happiness and prosperity. White represents death and mourning, so never wrap gifts in white paper. Black is also an unlucky color.There are also polite ways to accept and give things using both hands, as using one hand is considered too casual. Like if I give you something, I'll present it to you using both my hands together. And you'll accept it from me using both your hands.We celebrate many holidays and festivals that have unique customs too. Like during Chinese New Year, we always give out red envelopes with money inside for good luck. Sweeping or throwing trash on New Year's Day is thought to "sweep away" the good luck though, so we don't clean on that day.For Mid-Autumn Festival, we give mooncakes to family and friends to celebrate the full harvest moon. And during Tomb Sweeping Festival, we clean and decorate the graves of our ancestors to honor them.There are also special traditions for things like weddings, funerals, having guests over, and business meetings. Like at a Chinese wedding, the bride has to cry to symbolize her sadness for leaving her parents' home. Pretty interesting, right?Well, those are some of the big customs and etiquette rules we follow in China. Of course, there are many more little traditions and taboos too. Respecting etiquette shows your good manners and consideration for others.Etiquette may seem confusing for non-Chinese at first. But I think if you try to understand the cultural meanings behind the manners, they make a lot of sense. Tell me what you think! I'm curious to learn about polite customs from your countries too. Let's discuss more over a nice cup of tea.篇4My Friends from Other Countries, Hello!My name is Li Ming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Beijing, the capital city of China. Today I want to tell you all about Chinese etiquette - the polite ways we behave in my country. Etiquette is really important in China, and there are lots of rules about the proper way to act. I'll explain some of the most important ones!GreetingsWhen greeting someone in China, we usually shake hands. But sometimes we put our hands together and bow a little instead of shaking. The deeper you bow, the more respect you are showing. We only bow very deeply to our elders or very important people.We try not to call people by just their first name unless they are family or very close friends. Instead, we use titles like:Lao (old) + Family Name for eldersXian Sheng (Mr.) for menNü Shi (Ms.) for womenLao Shi (Teacher) for teachersSo I would call my teacher "Li Lao Shi" and my friend's dad "Wang Xian Sheng."Visiting HomesThere are special rules for visiting someone's home in China. First, you should always remove your shoes before going inside. We have slippers for guests to wear. It's very rude to wear outdoor shoes inside!When someone offers you a drink or snack, you should politely decline the first time. They will probably insist and offeragain. Then you can accept with thanks. It's impolite to accept right away.If your Chinese friend's parents give you a gift, you shouldn't open it right then. Wait until you get home to open gifts.MealsThere are a lot of rules about eating in China too! We don't usually use knives at the table. Instead, we use chopsticks to eat and chopsticks to move food from the shared dishes onto our plates.It's bad manners to stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice bowl. This looks like the incense sticks we burn at funerals. You should lay your chopsticks across the top of your plate when not using them.When a Chinese family invites you for a meal, you should try everything they serve you and always leave a little food on your plate at the end. Cleaning your plate means you're still hungry!We also make slurping noises when eating noodles or drinking soup. This shows you're enjoying your food. In China, it's the opposite of rude!Public BehaviorThere are some important public manners in China too. You should never pick your nose, scratch, or do other dirty habits in public places. That is very rude.You also shouldn't point directly at someone with your finger. Instead, we motion with our whole hand to indicate a person or direction.And of course, you must always cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Sneezing or coughing without covering is one of the rudest things you can do!Chinese CelebrationsFor big celebrations like Chinese New Year, there are even more special manners. The most important one is that you must give red envelopes with money inside to kids and unmarried people. The amount doesn't matter much - it's just a symbol of good luck.You also can't give someone a clock as a gift. This sounds like the words for "seeing off the dead" which is very unlucky! And you can't give a green hat, because that's a symbol of a man whose wife cheated on him.Whew! Those are some of the biggest etiquette rules in China. I know it seems like a lot, but we learn them from a very young age. To us, it just feels normal and polite.I hope this essay helped you understand Chinese manners better. Just remember - when you visit China, be on your best behavior! We really care about etiquette and first impressions here. Thanks for reading, and I can't wait for you to experience China for yourselves!Your friend,Li Ming篇5My Foreign Friends, Let Me Tell You about Chinese Manners!Hi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I really enjoy learning about different cultures from around the world. Today, I want to share with you some interesting things about Chinese manners and etiquette. Get ready, because there's a lot to cover!In China, we have many unique traditions when it comes to being polite and respectful. These rules are called "li" and theyare very important in our society. We learn them from a young age so we can interact properly with others.Let's start with greetings. When I see an older person or someone in authority like a teacher, I always greet them with a respectful gesture. I put my hands together in front of my chest and slightly bow my head. We call this "zuo yi" or making a courtesy. It shows I respect them. If the person is much older, I might make a deeper bow from the waist.Introductions are a bit different too. When introducing myself to an elder or superior, I state my full name, hometown, and a few nice words about the person I'm meeting. For example, I might say "Honored teacher, my name is Li Xiaoming from Beijing. It is a great privilege to meet such a renowned scholar as yourself." Using honorific titles is also very common.Now let's talk about meals, as there are many fascinating customs here! We have quite a few strict table manners in China. It is considered rude to stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice - that reminds people of incense at a funeral. You also shouldn't point your chopsticks at others or play with them too much.When eating shared dishes with others, you use the opposite end of your own chopsticks to pick up food from the sharedplates. Never take food from the plates with the end you put in your mouth! It's also impolite to turn a fish away from yourself on the plate when eating - the fish should face others as a sign of respect.Oh, and one more thing - burping is not acceptable! We see that as very rude during a meal. If I accidentally burp, I always cover my mouth and say "excuse me" right away.There are a lot of interesting customs regarding names and titles too. In our culture, we put the family name first, like "Li Xiaoming." The family name is very important! When talking to elders or superiors, we must use appropriate titles like "Teacher Wang" or "Grandma Zhang."We also have different special terms for various relatives. There are separate words for addressing an aunt on the mother's side versus the father's side. It can get quite complex! I need to be careful to use the proper titles so I show respect.Another unique aspect is that we have special rules about things like giving gifts. It's best not to give expensive or valuable gifts, as that could be seen as showing off or embarrassing the receiver. Things like fruits, nuts, or small accessories are usually safe options.You also can't open a gift right away in front of the giver. That would be seen as greedy! Instead, we set it aside politely for later. When giving a gift, it's proper to refuse it lightly the first time as a humble gesture, even if you do want it. Then the giver should insist you take it.I could probably talk about Chinese etiquette all day, but I'll stop here so I don't make this letter too long. There are so many interesting rules and customs we learn to guide our behavior and interactions.While some manners may seem strange to people from other countries, it's all about showing proper respect, humility, and consideration for others. By following these traditions, we create a society with more harmony, order, and appreciation for our roles and relationships.I really enjoy learning about different cultures' ways of being polite too. If you'd like to share about your own etiquette traditions, I'd love to hear them! I find this topic fascinating.Well, that's all for my introduction to Chinese manners. Thanks for reading, my foreign friends! I hope you found it interesting and fun. Let me know if you have any other questions.Your friend, Xiaoming。
