Answer 1

【答案】

Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel greatly honored to be here to tell you something about Chinese banquet customs. Firstly, banquets are usually held in private rooms in restaurants which have been reserved for the purpose. Guests will be met at the door and led to the banquet room where they will be guided to their places. Occasions are rare when guests sit where they please. Secondly, while at banquets, guests don’t begin to eat until the host raises his chopsticks. And it’s rude to stop eating in the middle of a banquet. Drinking also takes an important place during a Chinese banquet. As a Chinese saying goes, “There is no banquet without wine.” Banquets always begin with a toast, with the host expressing his welcome. Finally, when the last dish is finished, the banquet has officially ended. Generally, the host will say good-bye to everyone at the door and stay longer to pay the bill.

I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful to you. Thank you for listening.
