Dear Judy,
I hope this email finds you well! Thank you for your kind wishes. My Spring Festival was indeed wonderful and has lots of fun. During the winter vacation, besides celebrating the Spring Festival, I also spent some time catching up on my studies, reading a few interesting books, and even learning how to cook some traditional Chinese dishes. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
I’m so excited to hear that you’ll be visiting Shijiazhuang next month! It’s a great city with a rich culture and friendly people. As for visiting a local family, I’d be happy to give you some advice.
First, it’s common to bring a small gift when visiting a Chinese family. It doesn’t have to be expensive—something like fruit, tea, or a small souvenir from your hometown would be perfect.
Second, when you enter the house, it’s polite to take off your shoes unless the host tells you otherwise. You might be offered slippers to wear inside, which is quite common in Chinese households.
Third, don’t be surprised if the family asks you a lot of questions about your life in the U.S. They’re just curious and want to make you feel welcome. Feel free to share your stories and ask them questions about their lives too—it’s a great way to connect!
I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time visiting your friends in Shijiazhuang.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Li Hua
