Sarah and Daniel ar e the young American couple who are teaching English at Nana University. They are lea r ning Chinese and enjoy their new lives. They have been eager to get to know Chinese people better so they were pleased when Chen, their new Chinese colleague invited them to her h o me for dinner at one weekend . When Sarah and Da n iel arrived, Chen introduced them to her husband Wang, asked them to sit down at a table , containing 8 plates of various cold dishes , and served them tea and then disappeared with her husband into the kitchen. Sarah offered to help in the kitchen but Chen said she didn’t need any help. A half-hour later she came back and sat down and the three began to eat. Wang came in from time to time to put several hot dishes on the table. Most of the food was wonderful and there was much more than Sarah and Daniel could eat. They wanted Wang to sit down so that they could talk to him. Finally , he did sit down and ate a bit. Soon it was time for the American couple to go home. Sarah and Daniel felt slightly depressed by this experience, but returned the invitation one month later. They decided to make a nice American meal and felt lucky to find olives, tomato juice, butter and even some cheese in the hotel shop. They put these out as appetizers. For the main course they prepared spaghetti and a salad with dressing made from oil, vinegar, and some spices they found in the market. When Chen and Wang arrived they were impressed by the apartment and the decorations, and asked about the price of the furniture, paintings, the carpet and other things. Sarah politely refused to answer their questions. They took small tastes of the appetizers and ate only a little spaghetti and didn’t finish the salad on their plates. Sarah urged them to eat more but they refused. Sarah and Daniel talked about their families and asked the Chinese couple about theirs. After a while, Daniel cleared the table and served coffee. The Chinese couple didn’t drink nor eat too much . After they left, Sarah and Daniel felt puzzled, because their Chinese guests didn’t eat too much, while they themselves left Chen’s home so full.
