Speaking exercise

In this video, the girl talked about greeting methods. If you see the friend, you “dap” each other. The same with in China, you are go to a building, strangers will smile with you, I will be uncomfortable because I don’t know them. In China, portion so big is common, because they have a big stomach. If you ate a lot, you could take-away. Chinese love take-away, but this is bad influence, the food will expire. In my family, we don’t take-away the food, we just throw away.
