Table manners are important in China. They are part of our traditional culture. When we have meals with others, we should follow some basic rules.
First, we should wait until the elderly start eating. It is polite to let the elderly eat first. Second, we should not talk with our mouths full. It is rude and makes others feel bad. Third, we should use serving chopsticks when we take food from shared dishes. It is clean and polite. Last we should not stick our chopsticks into the rice bowl.

Last Monday, I had a small fight with my best friend, Tom. We were in the same basketball team, and we were both upset about losing a game. 1. He said some hurtful words, and I shouted back angrily. We didn’t talk to each other after that.
I felt lonely and sad all day. 2. I didn’t want to lose our friendship, but I was too shy to say sorry first. My deskmate saw my problem and gave me some advice. 3. She told me that true friends should understand each other.
The next morning, I decided to follow the advice. 4. To my surprise, Tom said he was also sorry. We talked about the game calmly and cheered each other up.
5. I learned that we should control our bad emotions and solve problems with love. Friendship is more important than small arguments.
