　　Dear Charles,

　　I am happy to hear that you will come to China. Welcome! There are lots of good manners in China. You must remember these before you come here.

　　First you should remember that you must drive on the right in China. When you have dinner with Chinese people, you should say hello to the host. And at table you’d better use chopsticks instead of a knife and fork. You needn’t finish all the food on the plate. It’s polite to say goodbye to the host when you leave.

　　Best wishes,

　　Wang Hong
