范文示例
Dear Betty,
I'm glad to hear that you'll come to China. I hope to see you soon.
As you know, different countries have different manners. The manners in China are different from those in America. Here is something about the manners in our country that you should pay attention to.
You're supposed to shake hands with Chinese people when you meet them for the first time. Another thing you should take notice of is table manners. Everyone has his or her own plate of food in the West. However, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares them. What's more, we use chopsticks to have meals while you use knives and forks. And you should not point at others when you use chopsticks at table.
I hope you'll have a wonderful time in China.
Yours,
Li Mei

教师详解详析

One possible version:
Different countries have different table manners. In China, people usually share the same dishes. You eat with chopsticks and you shouldn't wave them when you aren't eating.
When you take food from one dish on the table, you should try not to be noisy. In America, when people go to restaurants to eat with friends, they usually share the cost. But in China, one person usually pays for everyone. And in China, it's OK to be noisy in a restaurant. If the restaurant isn't noisy, people may think it's not very good. When you pay the bill, you don't have to give tips to the waiter.
