Ann:Hi, John! I'll fly to China next week for a summer exchange program. Have you ever been to China before?
John:No, I haven't. But I've heard that Chinese customs are very important. Is that true?
Ann:Yes, that's right. For example, when you meet someone for the first time, it's necessary to shake hands to greet them. And if you meet the elders, a slight bow is also seen as polite.
John:Oh, I see. What about the customs during the meals? I've heard that there are many rules to follow.
Ann:When you have dinner with others, it's important to let the oldest person sit first and eat first before you start. Also, it's impolite to stick your chopsticks vertically into your rice bowl—it's considered bad luck. And you shouldn't hit your bowl with chopsticks, either.
John:It's interesting. Are there any other customs I should pay attention to when visiting someone's home?
Ann:Yes, there are many other customs you should follow. For example, when you give or receive gifts, it's polite to use both hands. And when you visit someone's home, it's important to remove your shoes before entering, especially if the host has prepared slippers(拖鞋). Also, it's polite to bring a small gift like fruit or tea for the host.
John:Thank you so much for telling me these details. You help me know so many customs. I'll keep them in mind if I visit China someday.
Ann:You're welcome. I'm sure you'll have a great time if you go to China. The people there are very friendly, and they'll appreciate(感激) your respect for their customs.
