hi , Betty.what ' s up ?   nothing special . how about you ? Are you used to the life here in the States ?   everything has been fine for the past several months .   great !   well , I wish someone could talk to me about Western table manners   sounds interesting . Where did you get the idea ?   as you know , table manners in China are quite different from those of Westerners .   absolutely . that's because both of us have distinctive cultural features .   for example , in China , it's okay to talk while eating . However , you may regard it as rude .   yes . this must be a huge difference .   can you think of anything else ?
