Dear Bruce,
I'm happy to know that you will come to China to study and you asked what cultural differences you would meet staying with a host family.【高分句型一】(写信目的)
Take greeting people for example,when you first meet someone in your country,you might hug and kiss him or her. 【高分句型二】But in China it is not a common practice.I think the best way of greeting is to shake hands.Shaking hands is a friendly greeting in Chinese situation.(说明文化差异)
If you are unsure what to do,it is wise to remember the saying "When in Rome,do as the Romans do."and you' ll be quite well accepted by Chinese.(提出建议)
Hope you have a pleasant stay in China.(希望)
Yours,
Li Hua
