Every year there is a Spring Festival in China. Usually it is in January or February. It is the most important festival in China. So before it comes， everyone has to prepare things. They buy pork， beef， chicken， fruits and many other things. And they often make a special kind of food” dumplings”. It means “come together”. On the day before the festival，parents buy new clothes for their children. Children also buy presents for their parents. On the Spring Festival Eve（除夕），all the family members come back to their hometown. This is a happy moment. Some sing and dance， some play cards and others get the dinner ready. When they enjoy the meal，they give each other the best wishes for the coming year. They all have a good time.

Letter A
Dear Rose,
I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes.
Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?
Wang Lin
Letter B
Dear Wang Lin,
It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.
Rose

Rose is possibly ________.

If you’re asked to a dinner party but not sure about what to bring as a present, it’s good to bring _______.

Last year, I did not like my English class. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions     my poor pronunciation. Then one day I watched an English movie       Toy Story. I fell     love with this funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too.      I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the      on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It serves you     “. Now I really enjoy my English class.
