week, my friend Tony, a Chinese-American, invited me to have traditional
Chinese meal with his family. When we were seat, Tony's mother put various
foods which were unfamiliar with me on the plates. Seen I was nervous about
eating with chopsticks, Tony gave me some instruction. I was true delighted
when I finally made it. Therefore, my fingers suddenly lost control of the
chopsticks while he was picking up a piece of chicken. It flew across the table
or landed in Tony's soup. Everyone laughed. Then Tony's father had kindly
encouraged me to try again, which made me a bit relaxed. I really enjoyed the
delicious dinners.
