[00:15.46]Jim's cousin Tony has come to china for a visit.
[00:20.51]The two boys are invited to have dinner with Lin Tao's family on Saturday.
[00:26.78]Jim,tomorrow is Saturday.
[00:30.82]Lin Tao invited us to have dinner with his family,remember?
[00:36.26]I really want to go.
[00:39.50]I wonder how Chinese people eat their dinner.
[00:43.94]There are some differences between chinese and our eating habits.
[00:49.61]You know in our country everyone has his own plate of food,
[00:55.46]but in China all the dishes are places on the table,
[01:00.53]and everyone shares the food together.
[01:04.47]Really? Besides chopsticks,do they also use spoons?
[01:10.35]Of course.But they only use them for soup
[01:15.49]or when the food is difficult to pick up.
[01:19.54]Any table manners I should learn?
[01:23.51]Yes.Sometimes the Chinese will use their own chopsticks to put food in your bowl to show their politeness.
[01:32.66]Don't refuse it. Just eat it.If you like it,say so.
[01:39.21]If I don't want to eat it,what should I do?
[01:43.97]Just say "thank you" and leave the food there.
[01:48.62]What do I do with my chopsticks when I finish eating?
[01:53.48]Put them on the table or on your bowl.
[01:57.63]Never stick them in your rice!
[02:01.99]That's meant for the dead.
[02:05.23]Oh,no,I don't want to do that!
[02:09.67]I just want to eat good Chinese food!
[02:17.61]Lesson 62
[02:20.98]2. Read  Good Manners
[02:26.26]Good manners are important.
[02:30.10]They help people to get on well with each other.
[02:34.64]Everyone likes a person with good manners.
[02:39.29]Nobody likes a person with bad manners.
[02:44.26]But what are good manners?
[02:48.12]How does one know what to do and what not to do?
[02:53.77]  Well,here are some examples.
[02:58.21]A person with good manners never laughs at people when they are in trouble.
[03:04.84]Instead,he should try to help them.
[03:09.49]  A person with good manners is always kind and polite.
[03:15.27]When people are waiting for a bus,he should always wait for his turn.
[03:22.11]Don't jump the queue!
[03:25.66]Get on the bus one after another.
[03:30.34]On the bus,give your seat to old people or people with babies.
[03:37.18]If you knock into someone by mistake,say "Excuse me." or "I'm sorry."
[03:45.12]  Here are some more "dos and don'ts":
[03:49.69]Say "please" when you ask for something,and "thank you" after you receive it.
[03:56.96]When an old person comes into the room,stand up.
[04:02.83]When speaking to an old person,stay on your feet.
[04:08.29]Don't sit down till the old person has sat down.
[04:13.54]Don't speak while someone else is speaking.
[04:18.01]Don't talk too much.Don't make a big noise in public.
[04:24.96]When you are eating,don't speak with your mouth full of food.
[04:31.33]Cover your mouth if you cough.Don't spit in public.
[04:37.50]  Polite students try to help their teachers.
[04:42.25]It is bad manners for students to arrive late in class.
[04:47.90]If you are late,always say sorry.
[04:52.75]It is also bad manners to stay silent if you teacher asks you a question.
[04:59.52]If you don't know the answer,say so at once.
[05:05.37]If you do know the answer,speak up so everyone can hear you.
[05:11.85]Ideas of what are good manners are not always the same in different countries.
[05:18.80]For example,in Britain or America it is not polite to ask people
[05:25.85]how much money they make in their jobs.
[05:30.29]People don't like talking about the cost of things around the home,
[05:35.93]though in America they don't mind so much.
[05:40.48]But in both Britain and America
[05:44.71]it is not polite to ask people how old they are.
[05:49.54]  There other interesting differences between China and other countries.
[05:55.58]In China,if someone says something good about you,
[06:00.72]it is polite to answer "No,not at all!"
[06:06.29]In Britain or America,a person answers "Thank you!" with a big smile.
[06:14.65]This may not be common in China,but is good manners in Britain or America.
