More than 12wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in NorthernCalifornia.They grew rapidly.

I wanted the people in my new hometo think I was polite. However, I soon learned that it wasn’ t that simple.Early on,I noticed that people seemed confused( 迷惑的 ) by me saying“ xiexie” , as if it wasn’ t necessary or normal. They looked in the same way to my use of“ qing ” and the way I would soften my requests, as in the British way of saying,“ Could you pass me the salt?” instead of“ Give me the salt!”I was very confused until I realized that I was being too formal( 正式的 ) between the person I was talking to and myself. My Chinese friends told me that using“ please ” actually had the opposite(相反的 ) effect of politeness–it hurts thebuilding-up of close relationship.But this makes things difficult for those with British manners, as saying“ please ” and “ thank you ” is something we learn from a very young age.Deborah Fallows described the way a Westerner sees China as a strange mixture(混合 ) of politeness and rudeness in The Atlantic: “A person will pour tea or beer foreveryone else before even considering pouring his own. But then another willannounce‘ Gei wo yan!’ , that is,‘ Give me salt!’, with no sign of a please orthank you involved.”A good example of something that confuses foreigners in China is shouting“ fuwuyuan! ” at the waiter or waitress to get their attention, makeeveryone else in the restaurant hate you in the UK or US.something that wouldI now understand why people don’t say“please”or“ thank you”in Chinaas often as we do in the UK. However, I’ m afraid I still can’t bring myself to shout“fuwuyuan ”in a crowded restaurant– my inner polite British person won’ t let me!29.

Chinese people should say“ please”or“ thank you ”as often as Britishpeople do.D.Foreigners tend to be confused by Chinese people ’s mixture of politeness andrudeness.DDo you speak emoji?
