Step 1 Lead-in
American Table Manners
During a meal, Americans show their hospitality differently from Chinese. An American host or hostess will usually offer food or drink only once. If you want something to eat or drink, accept it the first time it is offered. Do not refuse it, expecting that the host or hostess will make a second offer or insist on serving the food or drink. If the food served is something you are unfamiliar with, ask for just a little. If you do not like it, you should be honest and polite. Frequently guests are expected to help themselves to food and it is polite to finish all the food on your plate. In a restaurant, you must tip the waitress or waiter. It is customary to tip 15% of the bill, and to tip more if the service is good. It is not necessary to tip people in cafeterias or fast food restaurants. In European and some Asian restaurants, service is often included in the bill. In such situations, it is not necessary to leave a tip.

Xiaoli: Are you a good cook？
John：No, but I am pretty good at eating.
Xiaoli: Do you prefer Chinese food or Western food?
John: Well, to be honest with you, Chinese food is very different from Western food.
Xiaoli :Are you used to the food here?
John: I’m not really used to it yet.
Xiaoli: What’s your favorite Chinese dish?
John: Like most foreigners, I really like Sweet and Sour Pork and Kong Pao chicken. I eat them almost every day.
Xiaoli: Have you tired traditional Chinese dumpling yet?
John: I tried them once, but they are quite difficult to eat with chopsticks.
Xiaoli: You know, foreigners are not expected to know how to use chopsticks proficiently. If you do, you’ll impress your Chinese friends.
John: That’s good to know. I’d like to try more Chinese food, but since I can’t read any of the menus in the restaurants near my home, it’s difficult to try new food.
Xiaoli: If you want, I can introduce you some typical Chinese dishes.
John: That would be great. I really want to try some authentic Chinese food, not just the food that foreigners like to eat.
Xiaoli: If you haven’t tried Beijing Roast Duck yet, I’d like to treat you to a meal at a famous duck restaurant near Qianmen. I would be a shame if you left Beijing without tasting it!
