A: Mr.Baker, our bo has invited you to dinner tonight to celebrate our succeful cooperation, and also as a farewell dinner as you return to America soon.This is the invitation.

B: You are very kind.I accept.

A: Then we’ll send the car to pick you up at the hotel.B: OK, see you then.

C: Mr.Baker, it’s a great honor to have you with us tonight.Please sit here; that’s for our distinguished guest.

B: Thank you.I feel overwhelmed to be invited.

C: Mr.Baker, as you are our guest, would you please order for us?

B: In America, we order our own dishes.But I should do as the Roman’s do, right? Can I see the menu?

A: Can you bring us the menu, please?

B: There are so many choices! Zhou, can you tell me a little about some of the dishes?

A: Certainly.On the menu, traditional Chinese cuisine from various places are mentioned, like Cantonese cuisine from the south, the Shandong cuisine from the north, Huai Yang cuisine from the east and Shi Chuan cuisine from the west.They each have their own characteristics, such as the light flavor of the south, the salty flavor of the north, the sweet flavor of the east, and the spicy-hot flavor of the north.

B: I can’t eat spicy food, and I prefer the light flavor.

A: Then what about the Cantonese cuisine?

B: That’s good.I like the Cantonese dishes served in the restaurants in China Town.

A: OK.Well, is there anything you don’t eat? I know there are some things Americans don’t eat for religious reasons, or just because of habit.

B: I am not particular about food.But I don’t like too much fat and I am allergic to MSG.

A: I see.Mr.Baker, I recommend Chinese soup.It’s quite different from the soup in Western cuisine.Most Chinese soups have healing properties.

B: Really? Any recommendation?

A: The stewed duck soup with ginseng served here is very famous.You must be quite tired because of your trip.The ginseng will fortify you while the duck is not fat.I think you will like it.B: That sounds great.I’ll try it.

A: Would you like something to drink? They serve red wine, liquor, beer, juice and soda here.B: Red wine is ok.I once tried liquor here.It’s too strong for me.

A: I don’t know whether you can use chopsticks.Do you need western cutlery?

B: No, thanks.I think chopsticks are very interesting; it’s the Chinese way, and I am working on it.A: OK.

C: We’re honored to have Mr.Baker here with us.He will end his work here and leave for America tomorrow, so I’d like to propose a toast.To Mr.Baker, good health, and may he have a great flight!

B: Thank you for your warm welcome.To your good health, and cheers!

A: Mr.Baker.I have booked a ticket for the 10 o’clock flight tomorrow morning, and the driver will pick you up at 8: 00.You will transfer in Shanghai at 5 o’clock.I’ve informed my colleague in Shanghai to pick you up at the airport, and, if you like, you can have a short stop over there and have a brief sightseeing too.

B: You are very thoughtful.Thank you very much.

A: You’re welcome.Have a nice trip.
