Dear Cindy,
I'm glad to know that you are coming to China.




Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

It's a great idea to learn about local customs before you come here. Now let me tell you some basic manners in China.
First, when you meet someone for the first time, we usually shake hands and smile at each other. We hardly hug strangers, which is different from your country.
Second, we have many good rules at the dinner table. You are supposed to wait for the elders to start eating first. It is impolite to stick your chopsticks into the rice or knock the empty bowl with chopsticks.
Besides, if you go to a party, you'd better take a small gift like some fresh fruit. You should arrive on time or a few minutes earlier, and it's not polite to leave too late.
I'm sure you will have a wonderful time in China, and I will help you if you have any problem when you are here.

这是一篇电子邮件类的应用文写作，属于八年级日常交际主题的考点，解题思路如下：
1. 文体与时态：本文是写给笔友的回信，整体用一般现在时即可，以第二人称为主，语言自然贴合日常交流场景。
2. 要点覆盖逻辑：
① 先介绍初次见面的习俗：中国人第一次见面通常握手微笑，不会像欧美文化里那样随意拥抱陌生人；
② 再介绍餐桌礼仪：用餐要等长辈先动筷，不能把筷子插在米饭里，也不要用筷子敲空碗，这些都是不礼貌的行为；
③ 最后介绍参加聚会的注意事项：赴约可以带水果这类小伴手礼，尽量准时或者提前几分钟到场，不要逗留到太晚。
3. 用First、Second、Besides这类基础连接词串联内容，保证条理清晰，符合词数要求，所有词汇和句式都匹配八年级所学内容。
