Here are some tips on how to get on well with the British. It's important for British people to be on time. If you agree to meet them at three o'clock, they'll be there just at three o'clock or even earlier. In Britain, people always arrive on time.
It is not polite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you can't arrive on time, you should tell the person you are meeting.
The British are often happy to invite you to their houses. It means they want to make friends with you. If you get an invitation to a party that says “RSVP”, you should let the person know your choice. It is good to telephone the host(主人) before you visit him or her at home. It will give the host some time to prepare.
When you agree to go to the dinner, tell the host what you would like to have or would not like to have. He or she will plan a meal that you can enjoy. Why do the British invite others to have dinner That's because the evening meal is the main meal of the day in most parts of Britain.
Hope that you can enjoy yourself with all of these tips.

Dear David,
I am glad to hear that you are coming to China for a trip. I'd like to tell you some Chinese traditions. They will help you when you're in China.
In China, you should use both of your hands when you accept a gift. You should not open the gift as soon as you get it. In China, red is a lucky colour while white is unlucky. So during the Spring Festival, you can wear red clothes. And you shouldn't do any cleaning, because it means bad luck. You may think it is difficult to understand these traditions. But these are very important to Chinese people.
Chinese people are friendly and the Spring Festival is very interesting. I am sure you will have a good time in China. I am looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua
