Dear Amy,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs.
First of all, when you are eating at table, you are supposed to use chopsticks to eat food and it is impolite to stick your chopsticks into your food. What’s more, if you go to someone’s house, you had better bring a small gift. And you should shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. Last but not least, it is important to be on time if someone invites you to his or her house.
Have a safe trip and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Alice

Dear Maria,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs.
When you are eating at the table, it’s impolite to talk aloud. You are not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table. You shouldn’t point at anyone with your chopsticks.And you are not expected to talk with your mouth full. Don’t use the chopsticks to hit empty bowls because it’s impolite. The most important thing is you shouldn’t stick your chopsticks into your food.
In our house, you should greet others in aright way. You are supposed to shake hands when you meet others. Also, you are expected to bring some small gifts when you visit a friend’s house. But don't bring too expensive gifts.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon.
Best wishes,

Dear Anna,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs.
When you are eating at the table, you are not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table. And while you are eating with chopsticks, it's impolite to point at anyone with your chopsticks.
In our house, you are supposed to learn to
use chopsticks. You should put your bread on your plate or in your bowl at the
table. If you have trouble, anyone will help you！Another thing is that in our culture, we don't usually hug or kiss when we first see each other. We always shake hands instead.
Have
a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you Best wishes，

First, when you’re eating at the table,it’s impolite to use your chopsticks to hit an empty bowl. Also, pointing at others with your chopsticks may make others feel uncomfortable. When you’re invited to go to a party by someone, you’d better bring some small gifts.Because it’s not polite to go there with empty hands. When you’re having a meal, you’re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.
All in all, have a good trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Dear Bert,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs.
When you are eating at the table, it’s impolite to eat first if there are older people. Also, it seems to be rude to point at anyone with your chopsticks. And you’re not supposed to stick your chopsticks into your food because people in China think it’s unlucky to do that. In the house, you are supposed to shake hands to greet others. It’s also necessary to respect others in your host family, you are expected to help them do some housework. For the gifts, if you want to give them something as a present, you are not supposed to give a clock or a watch to others. The pronunciation of clock in Chinese is just like “death”.
You’d better follow these rules in China. I believe you’ll have a safe and great trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes,
