Answer 1

Dear Tom，
I'm very glad to hear from you．You said you wanted to learn some Chinese table manners．Now let me tell you something（点题，表明写作目的）．
Before a meal，guests and seniors are seated first．Other people should not begin eating until the guests and the seniors start（高分句型一）．Unlike Westerners，the Chinese usually put many dishes on the table and everybody shares them together．While eating Chinese hosts usually take good care of their guests and often use serving chopsticks or spoons to add food to guests'plates（高分句型二）．After the meal，guests should express their thanks to hosts and their satisfaction with the delicious meal．In short，when in China do as the Chinese do（介绍中国的餐桌礼仪）．
I hope you will find my information useful（表达愿望）．
                                             Yours，
                                             Li Hua
