Have you learned about table manners in China? Here I’ll introduce some.

It is a traditional    36    for Chinese people to eat with chopsticks. Each person    37      will have a pair of chopsticks, and there is also an extra pair which is for public    38   .

I    45    you don’t mind.” you must not say, “Yeah, that’s true, but I don’t mind.” Actually, it is a typical word which can show one of the Chinese qualities — modest. You should answer, “Really? I don’t think so. It is the best taste of any dish that is new to me.”
