There are many differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. In the West，everyone has their own 1 of food. But in China the dishes are 2 on the table and everyone shares.

And sometimes the Chinese host uses their 5 to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The proper thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how 6 it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this，you can just say a polite “Thanks” and leave the food there. Don’t 7 your chopsticks upright into the rice bowl. Instead，lay (放置) them on your dish.
