In China, being modest is a virtue. If someone praises you and says that your English is excellent, you should be modest and say, 'No, no. My English is still poor. ' But in North America, this is usually a sign of being weak and not confident. You should just say, 'Thank you. ' 翻译：在中国, 谦虚是美德。当有人夸赞说你英语说的真好, 你应该谦虚地说：“哪里, 哪里。我英语还是很烂。”但是在北美洲, 这通常是一种软弱和不自信的表现。你只要说, “谢谢你。”

In China, people seldom give extra money to waiters, waitresses, taxi drivers or hotel workers. In North America, this is always done. It is called 'tipping'. 翻译：在中国, 人们很少会给男女服务员, 出租车司机或酒店员工额外的钱。在北美洲, 这很常见。它被称为“小费”。

It's interesting to experience two different cultures. I think understanding cultural differences really helps us to understand each other, live together and work together. 翻译：体验两种不同的文化是有趣的。我认为理解文化差异能帮助我们相互理解, 一起生活和工作。

It will make him feel welcome. Offer your guest something to drink or eat like tea, fruit and snacks. Don't ask your guest to go to the kitchen and serve himself! Serve your guest at the table. Make him feel at home. Talk to your guest. That's why you invited him. Don't turn on the television. It's OK in China, but it's considered rude in Western cultures. Mr. Manners 翻译：亲爱的李明, 好主人总会设法让客人感到宾至如归。这里有一些给你的建议。 客人到达前收拾好房子。 为客人开门, 挂上他的外套。这会让他觉得很受欢迎。 为客人提供一些吃的喝的东西, 像茶, 水果和点心。 不要叫客人去厨房为自己服务。在餐桌上为客人服务。 让他感觉在家里般轻松自在。和客人交谈。那就是你为什么邀请他的原因。 不要打开电视。这在中国是可以的, 但在西方文化中这被认为是不礼貌的。 礼貌先生

We each took a cookie and ate it. The cookie tasted like chalk to me! But in good Chinese tradition, I told Mr. Bradshaw that I enjoyed it.

Hi Li Ming, I am so busy with Christmas these days. I couldn't help but laugh when I read your e-mail. I can imagine your reaction when you received the cookies. Maybe you can send them to me. I love all kinds of cookies. But I think you were polite to react that way. I love Chinese culture. I wish everyone here, especially Debbie, could learn some Chinese manners. Debbie dreams of being a police officer. She once said that she hoped to have a toy gun as a Christmas gift, so I bought one for her. But when I gave it to her, she said she wanted a doll! She changes her mind so quickly! Though I was a little hurt, I still enjoyed Christmas very much. We had a lot of fun. We are planning another trip to Chinatown during the Spring Festival. I love festivals. Danny 翻译：你好李明, 最近我一直忙着准备圣诞节。 当我读你邮件的时候, 我情不自禁地笑了。我能想到你收到饼干的反应。也许你可以把饼干寄给我。我喜欢各种饼干。但是我认为你那样回应很有礼貌。我喜欢中国文化。我希望这里的每个人, 特别是黛比, 能学习一些中国礼仪。 黛比梦想成为一名警官。她曾经说过想要一个玩具枪作为圣诞礼物, 所以我给她买了一个。但当我把礼物给她时, 她说她想要一个玩偶! 她改变主意真快呀! 尽管我有点小受伤, 但我仍然非常享受圣诞节。我们玩的很开心。我们计划春节期间去唐人街的又一次旅行。我喜欢节日。 丹尼
