Dear Terry,

How are you doing? In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.

To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides, you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.

Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. I am looking forward to your good news.

Dear Jim,

Your letter came to me this morning. I’m delighted that you have developed an interest in Chinese history.

When it comes to my favourite figure in Chinese history, it must be Confucius, China’s most famous teacher, philosopher, and political theorist. Many of his words of wisdom that have been passed down from generation to generation have made a profound impact on the Chinese. In fact, he inspires me to become a teacher in the future for the purpose of cultivating talents.

If you want to know more about Confucius, please let me know. I can find you some books!

Dear Tom,

How is it going? I hear you are running an online shop, so I wonder if you could sell some Chinese knots for me.

Those Chinese knots are made of red silk thread, cloth and other material. They look fairly pretty in the shape of a diamond, about 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. In China, these knots are often used to express good wishes, including happiness, prosperity, love and the absence of evil. People can either give them as gifts to friends or hang them in their houses. They are only 12.99 US dollars each.

Do let me know if you need further information. Thank you!
