We'd never been to China before.So my parents booked us a 1 in Beijing.
Then I decided to buy my father a book called China:Know Before You Go.
“ Looks very interesting,but we don't 2 that," he said.How 3 he was !
Our first evening in Beijing began at about nine o'clock.We walked past an 4
restaurant.The staff were cleaning tables and were about to go home.
“ This looks good," said my father.“ I think it's about to close," I said.“ People eat 5 than in the UK.It says so in my book."”“ Oh,terrible !" said my father.“ The night is young !" The staff looked a bit unhappy but 6 us to a table.A young woman
handed us a 7 ,all in Chinese.My father pointed to a few things.“ That's what we
want,” he said.My father picked up the chopsticks and started tapping(轻敲)the bowl
like playing the drums.“ Don't do that,Dad," I said.“ It's not 8 in China."
After a while one very large plate of food arrived in the middle of the table.My
father took it and started eating.“ Where's the 9 of the food?” he said to the
waitress.“ Dad," I said,“ everyone 10 food here.That dish you're eating is for
11 ." But he ate everything on the plate.“ Dad," I said,“ in China people think it's
rude if you eat everything.They think you are still 12 "
Finally,my father asked for the bill.He 13 and handed the waiter 20 yuan
before leaving.
The waiter looked 14 .“ What are you doing?" I said.“ People don't give tips
in China." I never felt so embarrassed in all my life.The food and the 15 were
fantastic and I'll surely go back to China.Next time I'll leave my father at home.
