For many Westerners, the Chinese dinner table is “an unknown land”. There are no _1 ___ or knives for the Westerners to use. The Chinese host makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large 2 of the table passing over both food and friends alike. The 3 is fantastic, but it leaves many foreigners at a 4 for what to do. In most Western restaurants and homes there are rules about how to talk, eat and sit that are highly 5 , and they create an atmosphere that is completely different from 6 we find here in China. In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with low voices, and the topics open for 7 were very much restricted. We were not allowed to 8 anything that was potentially unappetizing. If I had to leave the 9 to use the toilet, I had to verbally excuse myself without mentioning what it was 10 I was going to do. " 11 , please? I need to wash my hands." I would say.

With that in mind, it was, of course, unthinkable to speak with one's mouth full of food, so 15 only occurred before or after one had taken in food and swallowed it.

When a guest comes from the West to enjoy a meal with you, it would be a good idea for you to explain to your guest what will 16 at dinner and to find out if a fork would be easier to use 17 chopsticks. In my time in China, I have come to enjoy Chinese table manners far more than those 18 by my own culture, but for many it is impossible to 19 . The best policy is to ask your guest questions to find out what he or she is 20 with.
