You've been here in China for a few days， and you may notice that Chinese people can sometimes be very direct． But don't be fooled into thinking you can（1） 　　anything you like to them． Here are a few things foreigners（2） 　　China should never say．

Have you been on vacation？ You look so tanned （晒黑的）!

While many people in the West grow up with the idea that dark skin is a sign of beauty， this is not true in China． That explains（3） 　　umbrellas are just as common on sunny days as they are on rainy days here．

I really love China， but…

Don't finish that to（4） 　　． No place can be perfect． It's fine if you say something impolite about your（5） 　　country， but don't do it about someone else's． This doesn't just happen in China， but it's fair to say the Chinese people show more love to their country．

I think Chinese food is the best food in the world．

What's that？ As everyone in China should already know this， saying that you love Chinese food is like saying that sugar is（6） 　　or ice is cold． It's won't hurt anybody， but they may think you know（7） 　　about their food culture． Since there are many different kinds of Chinese food， it sounds better to talk about the local food that you like most．

Keep them in mind and（8） 　　 your stay in China!
