In China
Mealtimes
Things to say at the start of a meal
Method of eating
Things you say when offered food
Things to say and do at the end of the meal
breakfast at 7 am; lunch at about 12 pm; dinner at around 7 pm
use chopsticks
say “Chi ba!” at the start of normal meals or “Da jia chi hao!” at the start of more formal meals
accept and say “Thank you” or refuse saying, for example, “I’m sorry. I don’t eat meat.”
say you have enjoyed the food; stay and talk around the dinner table
Step 2: Write down some sentences with the help of the table.
In China, lunch is usually served around 12 pm or even later…
Just enjoy your Chinese meal. You’ll never forget it!
Step 4: Write a sentence to finish your passage.
Eating customs in China are in some ways different from those in the West.
Step 3: Write a sentence to introduce your passage.
Possible answer
Eating customs in China are in some ways different from those in the West. In China, lunch is usually served at 12 pm, which is early by Western standards. If you are eating with close friends or family, you might not say anything at the start of a meal, although you can say “Chi ba!” You might say “Da jia chi hao!” on more formal occasions. The most obvious difference is that Chinese meals are eaten with chopsticks rather than with knives and forks.
Another important difference is that Chinese people take the food from plates in the middle of the table, so there is a strong feeling that people are sharing the food, not eating individually. It is polite to let guests or important people take the food first.
Although Chinese eating customs are quite different from Western habits, you’ll have no trouble fitting in (as long as you can use chopsticks). Watch what everyone else does and follow them. Most of all, just enjoy your Chinese meal. You’ll never forget it!
