We’d never been to China before. So my parents planned to take us to Beijing for a 1. . And I decided to buy my father a book about travelling in China.
“That’s 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 (员工) were cleaning tables and were about to go home.
“This one looks good,” my father said. “I think it’s going to 5. . People here eat earlier than people in the UK. It says so in my book,” I said. “Oh, terrible!” said my father. The staff looked a bit unhappy but 6. us to a table. A young woman handed us a 7. , all in Chinese. My father ordered a few things. “This is what we want,” he said. Then my father 8. the chopsticks and started tapping on the bowl. “Don’t do that, Dad,” I said. “It’s not 9. in China.”
After a while, a very large plate of food arrived. My father took it and started eating himself. “Please wait, Dad. Chinese people 10. food together and that large dish is for 11. ,” I said. At last, he ate all the food on the plate. “Dad, in China, people think it’s rude if you eat everything. They think you are still 12. ,” I told him.
Finally my father asked for the bill. It 13. him 160 yuan. And he 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 (难为情的) in all my life. The food and the 15. were great and I’ll surely go back to China. Next time I’ll leave my father at home.
