四、阅读理解
On our second day in China, we had already been asked to join the school for supper. Nervous and unsure of the food and table manners, we politely agreed. Coming to China, the thing I was most nervous about was the food, and now my first dining experience would be with the school staff.
In Chinese culture, the most important person sits facing the door. When plates of food started arriving, I wished I had worked on my chopsticks skills before arriving in China.
Chinese culture is all about being hospitable(好客的). This means ordering lots of food and encouraging you to keep eating. It also means drinking wine or tea. You’ll never have an empty glass.
Chinese people are friendly. They want to learn about you and talk with you about their culture. They like to ask questions, and it is polite to ask them many questions and keep the conversation going.
To my surprise, I discover something I really enjoy. The experience itself is quite amazing. I’ve learnt a lot, yet there’s still so much to learn. It surely is different from my culture and way of living, but being in their shoes and seeing life through their eyes has really helped me to understand. And I look forward to discovering more!
