Step 3: Write your sentences to introduce and finish your passage.
Step 4: Write your passage and check it.
Eating customs in China are in some ways different from those in the West.
In China, lunch is usually served at 12 am, which is earlier 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!
