Eating Habits
An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, "I'm afraid it'll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money." The other person may say, "OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's."
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, "Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson's", or "I want you to try the steak (牛排) there. It's great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, "Thank you. That would be very nice."
American customs (风俗) about who pays for dates (约会)are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university (大学) girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her to dinner or a dance outside the working hours, it means "come as my guest (客人). "So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning(开始).

Dear Li Hua, How are you? It's in the middle of December and I am getting ready for Christmas here. I'd like to tell you about Christmas in the UK. Christmas is on 25th December. We don't go to school or work on that day. On Christmas Eve children put up big socks. Do you know why we do this? We wait for Father Christmas with presents. He is a fat man with white beard(胡子). We think he comes and puts presents in socks every year. The next day, we get up early and open our presents. Then we have a big dinner with our family. We put a Christmas tree in our house and decorate (装饰) it with lights and presents. In the afternoon, we watch TV or play games at home. Please tell me something about Spring Festival in China. What do your family do on Spring Festival Eve(前夕)? Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Tony |
