Around the world, people get together to eat lunch or dinner. The certain rules at the table include how to use a knife, fork or spoon correctly, or when to ask to be served.

So it wouldn’t be a bad thing to learn about table manners.
In some countries in Europe and North America, for example, France, you might be advised to always rest your hands on the table while you are not using a knife or fork to eat. Keeping your hands under the table where nobody can see them is considered a bad dining manner. “ ▲ ” is one of the basic dining rules in these areas.

The proper way to eat them is to get a piece of the bread, and then some food that is close to you with it, and put it in your mouth. Because you are touching the food with your hands, make sure that you always wash them before and after the meal. The left hand is considered unclean, so it is polite to only use your right hand to eat.

Dear Mike,
Nice to hear from you. Great changes have taken place in China in recent decades. Our living standards have greatly improved. For example, we used to pay paper money when shopping. Now we have WeChat and Alipay. You can pay with your mobile phone. In the past, we used to communicate face-to-face. Now we can communicate with WeChat and QQ. Chinese wood carving has a history of more than 4000 years. It needs to be carved, polished and colored. In fact, it is people’s good expectation and wish for life. It also represents China’s national culture.
In addition, I’m not very good at English listening and writing. Can you give me some good ways to learn them
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
