Dear Larry,

It was lovely to hear from you again and to know that things are going 【1】 with you.Thanks for telling me all 【2】the Chinese Moon Festival. It sounds like you enjoyed a great party in Inner Mongolia(内蒙古).It makes me think of the festival we took part in 【3】 we traveled in South Africa. The people there kept many goats(山羊), as well as sheep and cows.Beef was expensive and was only for very 【4】 time. In all our time there we were 【5】 served beef in the villages, because beef is not usually served to 【6】.By the way, I happened to see these pictures and thought you’d like to see 【7】. A Chinese girl gave Tang Suit to Joan and me when she left school.We 【8】 them on in the university car park. Someone took photos for us though I was wearing my kilt (苏格兰短褶裙)!It seemed to be【9】 different that some suggested that I could start a new look. We wore Tang Suit to a dinner which was held on the ship in August when we visited Germany. Some Chinese ladies came and spoke to us. They were interested in my traditional Chinese clothing. We【10】 look forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes!

Yours,

Jim

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 someplace 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 says,“Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s.” This means the person wants to pay for you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal.

American customs about who pays for dates(约会) are almost 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 girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own meal. So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.
