Letter A

　　Dear Etty Kit,

　　My roommate's family want me to have Thanksgiving dinner with them in their home. I accepted (接受) the invitation (邀請), and I'm excited about going, but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs (社交習慣) in my country are very different from here, so I'm a little afraid of making mistakes.

　　Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?

Confused

Letter B

　　Dear Confused,

　　It's a good idea to bring a small gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family 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 correct fork, knife, or spoon, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don't be shy (害羞) about asking the person next to you. It's better to ask than to be quietly uncomfortable (不安) and nervous (緊張).

　　If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a card or thank-you note the day after.

Letter One

　　Dear Editor(編輯),

　　After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends．Sometimes I play Internet games．But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer．Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm(傷害)children．Once I went to a net bar(網(wǎng)吧)to play games after school．But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school．I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy．I feel bad about it．However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time．I really want my parents to understand that．Do foreign parents do the same to their children?Please help me．

　　Li Ping, Nantong

Letter Two

　　Dear Li Ping,

　　I think it’s not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad．Foreign parents will do the same as your parents!They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don’t want their children to play computer games．

　　Talk to your parents and be honest(誠實)to them, I think．Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you．It’s never good to do things behind your parents’ backs．They aren’t fools as you think sometimes!Our parents seem to know what is the best for us．Remember：to be honest is the best way．

Good luck,

Rebecca
