[User] Does tea-serving follow any special etiquette in China? Each time I dropped in at my Chinese friends' homes, their parents would offer me a cup of hot, strong tea, though they never inquired of me about whether I want it.

[Assistant] You've got a point there. It is a custom and good manners to serve tea to a guest who comes to pay a visit. There is no need to ask if he needs it or not, or if he wants something else. It might be an insult to the guest if he is left sitting there without being served tea.

[User] So the guest is presumed to be thirsty and in need of some drink after the trip. In that case, I guess, in return, the guest doesn't have to drink it if he wouldn't like it.

[Assistant] It wouldn't be considered rude behavior if he doesn't even take a single drop. But he'd better receive the teacup with both hands and bow his thanks when the cup is brought before his face. When the host pours hot water into his cup, he may also choose to tap his index finger on the table, meaning "Thanks". No matter if he likes it or not, it is impolite if he doesn't even lay a finger on the cup.

[User] So next time, I'd better take a few sips, to 'save face' at least, right?

[Assistant] Sure. The guest is welcomed by being served tea. But if after chatting for a while, the host asks servants or family members to serve a new cup of tea, or add some hot water, he is giving another signal.

[User] What does that imply, then?

[Assistant] More often than not, the understatement is 'I'm afraid it's time you leave'.

[Assistant] Well, I'll consider the possibility. By the way, when do I have to open the L/C if I want the goods to be delivered in June.

[User] A month before the time you want the goods to be delivered.

[Assistant] Could possibly effect shipment more promptly?

[User] Getting the goods ready, making out the documents and booking the shipping space, all this takes time you know. You cannot expect us to make delivery in less than a month.

[Assistant] Very well, Mr Zhang. I'll not reduce my order. I'll take the full quantity you offer. And I'll arrange for the L/C to be opened in your favor as soon as I get home.

[User] When will that be?

[Assistant] Early next month. In the meantime, I should be very pleased if you would get everything ready. I hope that the goods can be dispatched promptly after you get my L/CB

[User] OK... well, then how much is one jin?

[Assistant] Ginseng comes in 6 different grades. It runs from 5,000 to 30,000 NT a jin.

[User] *Eyes wide, mouth open* 30,000 NT for ginseng?? Do I have to buy a whole jin?

[Assistant] You can get a liang if you want. A liang is one-sixteenth of a jin. That would be 330NT.

[User] *Wide smile, eyes sparkling* Whew! That sounds more like my price range. I'll take two liangs.

[Assistant] I'll have my brother cut some for you.

[User] This little red fruit looks good. What's it good for?

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That's a lucky fruit called hong zat! People say that if you eat them, you will have your first son very soon!

[User] Uh..., I'm not even married yet. How about this brown dried fruit?

[Assistant] *Laughs, body relaxed* Gui yuan are lucky, too! If you eat them, you'll have a very sweet life!

[User] And how about these little brown chips?

[Assistant] Oh, that's deer horn. That helps you... umm, how should I put it?

[User] Let’s go to Wangfujing by bus.

[Assistant] Better take the subway. It’s faster, and more convenient.

[User] En, where do we pay the fares?

[Assistant] Just go to the ticket office in the subway.

[User] Do I have to pay an additional fare to change trains?

[Assistant] No, you don’t have to. Here comes the train. Be careful! Subway doors open and close automatically.

[User] Remittance Advice, how can I help you?

[Assistant] I want to send some money to Hangzhou. Today, if possible.

[User] That's no problem. There are 3 ways you can do this, firstly you can send the money account to account, or you can choose to send cash to account or you can send cash to individual. Which service would you like?

[Assistant] I think account to individual would be best. But which is the quickest way?

[User] If you choose our Urgent Remittance Service the money can be there within 2 hours. There will be a 1% handling fee and then you need to pay 12 RIB for the Express Delivery Service.

[Assistant] Right, that's fine. I'd like it to get there as quickly as possible.

[User] Do you think children watch too much tv?

[Assistant] I only allow my child to watch up to an hour a day. I don’t think that tv is bad for kids. I think that kids should be active and not become couch potatoes.

[User] Perhaps I should impose a limit on how much tv my kids can watch. They don’ t do much else in their free time. At least they always do their homework first.

[Assistant] If you decide to put a limit on the amount of tv they can watch, remember to have something else for them to do. If you don’t, they’ll get bored and misbehave.

[User] They could go out and play with their friends.

[Assistant] Sure. You could talk to other parents in your neighbourhood and plan it so that all the kids are free at the same time.

[User] Perhaps I could ask my husband to teach them foot ball or some thing. He watches too much tv too.

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* That’s a good idea. Remember that if the parents watch too much tv, the kids will probably follow suit.

[Assistant] Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

[User] I’ Ve been under stress, but no more than usual.

[Assistant] Have you been getting enough sleep lately?

[User] No, I only sleep a few hours a night.

[Assistant] Have you had any head injuries lately?

[User] Yes, actually I fell skiing last week and hit my head.

[Assistant] I am going to send you for a CT scan, and I will see you again when we see the results.

[Assistant] Ok.But is there anything wrong?

[User] It's just a regular inspection.Do you have anything to declare?

[Assistant] I've got 6 packets of cigarettes and 2 bottles of champagne.Besides, I have two cameras, one is for my own use, and the other is a gift.

[User] Well, the cigarettes and the champagne are not in excess of the duty-free allowance. But according to our law, each passenger is allowed only one camera duty-free.You'll have to pay duty for the other one.

[Assistant] Ok. Where shall I pay duty for it?

[User] Please wait a minute. I'll make out the duty memo... Here you are.Take this and pay to the woman over there.

[Assistant] I've paid for it. Here's the receipt.

[User] Have you made up your mind about not going back to your hometown after graduation? Where else would you go?

[Assistant] I would try to land a job in Beijing. I just want to go to one of the big cities.

[User] why?

[Assistant] many say more development opportunities can be found there.

[User] that's true. Beijing is the political, economic and cultural center of the entire country.

[Assistant] and there're higher salaries there.

[User] well, that's true, but living expenses are also higher in big cities.

[Assistant] I've considered that. I'll share an apartment with others to save the rent, and the cost of living won't be too much for only one person.

[User] one person? How about your girlfriend?

[Assistant] oh, we had to break up because she didn't want to float around in Beijing. She insisted on working in her hometown and having a stable life.

[User] sorry to hear that. It seems you have sacrificed a lot to work away from home.

[Assistant] sure have. I want to offer my parents a better life; so, I'll have to work very hard.

[Assistant] Thank you, but I prefer the fish.

[User] Perhaps you'd enjoy the lamb.
