1.Dear Richard,
I'm glad you're coming to China!①Your mother tells me you're worried about what you should and shouldn't do as a guest in China.Here is some advice on eating customs in China.
You'll  probably be invited to a dinner.There will be a lot of dishes,not just three courses.You may find it difficult to use chopsticks if you haven't tried before.It's a good idea to get some practice beforehand.When the food is served,you should wait until you're invited to eat.?The plates will be placed in the middle of the table for everybody to share.Take a little of everything and then have some more of the things you like.
To prepare a big meal takes a long time and everything looks beautiful,so it's a good topic of conversation.You'd better join in the conversation and say how much you like it.
At the end of the meal,you will usually be served with fruit.
I hope this is helpful.Email me if you have any other questions.
Yours,
Zhang Dawei

Since he thought the death was caused by his carelessness,he always felt guilty.To make matters worse,his wife left him a short time later,leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than   Alan could stand,and he turned to alcohol for help.Soon Alan became an alcoholic(嗜酒者).So Alan began to lose everything he owned---his land,house,etc.Finally  Alan died alone in a small bar.When I Heard of Alan's death,I thought,"What a totally wasted life!What a complete failure!"

Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Alan as a failure.He had not left any material wealth behind,but he was a"real"father in his son's heart.
