Dear XXXX:
How are you recently?I am sorry for not writing to for such a long time.You used to ask me about the table manners in China.Surely enough,having meals in China really has something to talk about,for it has a very old tradition.First of all,we'd like to invite the older people to sit in a very noble position which is surrounded by the younger people.Secondly,it depends on the elder people to start the meal.When drinking wine,the elder one should be first to drink,followed by the others.At table,the young should listen to the old,or one can speak with the permission from the old people.
There are a lot more to tell you about the table manners.Perhaps you will feel it much more complex.But if you experience it,you will know more and you will feel it more interesting.Therefore,wish that you can come to China to pay a visit.
Best Wishes.
Yours,XXXX
