Writing an e-mail about the table manners in Japan.( Show as a sample)
Imagine you are Steve, an exchange student studying in Japan. You are to email your friends about the table manners in Japan.
Subject: Table Manners！ From: Steve Here are some things that you need to know about table manners when you visit Japan. First of all, you should remember: Blowing your nose in public, and especially at the table, is considered bad manner. It is considered good manner to empty your dishes to the last grain of rice. Talking about toilet related and similarly disappetizing topics during or before a meal is not appreciated by most people. Unlike in some other parts of East Asia, it is considered bad manner to burp. After finishing eating, try to place all your dishes in the same way as they were at the start of the meal. This includes replacing the lid of dishes which came with a lid and replacing your chopsticks on the chopstick holder or into their paper slip, if applicable. Writing about table manners in China
Subject: Table Manners！ From: Yanfei Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat! Step7 Homework:

【教学反思】
本节课我以“我游世博园”为主线，围绕“餐桌礼仪”话题，创设情景，由世博主题曲引入教学，模拟情景，开展以下四个活动：
一、当“我”在世博园偶遇外国朋友时，用上节课所学的知识，以相应的方式向他们问候。
二、“我”在世博园向外国友人介绍中国餐桌礼仪。 三、“我”在世博园听日本和美国朋友的关于日本餐桌礼仪的对话，让学生了解日本的餐桌礼仪。
四、向学生介绍“我”在世博园品尝世界各国特色食品时，了解到的不同国度的餐桌礼仪。 以上设计将复习旧知，讲授新课，巩固新知，巧妙地融合于“我游世博园”的一系列活动中。有效地运用网络资源和教材中的听力材料及阅读材料，达到了学科知识和信息技术的完美整合。创设情景，激发了学生的学习积极性，开阔了学生的视野，为学生打开了一扇了解世界的窗口。同时，促进了学生的合作探究，使学生既掌握了新知，又在掌握新知的过程中受到了礼仪教育，起到了润物无声的效果。
