Dear Sara，
I’m glad to hear from you yesterday._____________________________________________
Love，
Amy
【答案】Dear Sara，
I’m glad to hear from you yesterday. Welcome to my family next week.
I have a small family. There are three people in my family, my parents and me. In China, unlike in the West, plates are placed on the table and shared by everyone. And sometimes the Chinese hosts use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how delicious it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say "thank you |"in politely and leave the food there.
As for housework, I think it's our duty to help our parents do some housework. So you can help my parents wash the dishes, clean the room and make the bed. I hope you can take care of yourself and your family by doing housework.
Of course, if you like, I will teach you how to cook delicious dishes.
Love,
Amy
