Dear Tim,

Realizing I might have behaved rude when receiving your gift at my birthday party, I’m writing to say sorry. I’m grateful to have received such nice a present. According to the Chinese tradition, I say “thank you” that day. But I didn’t tear up the package in your presences. As is known to all, Americans are used to open the package of a gift for the moment it is received. It wasn’t until my mum mentioned it when I realized my inappropriate behavior. So please forgive me for your thoughtlessness. This incident serves as reminder that learning cultural differences are a most important thing for me.
