想说就说（五）3—section 2: people

Hi, Helen, about the dinner next week with Mr. Wang?

Yes, I bet you nerves about that.

Well, I was wondering should I take something.
I was thinking of taking a wine.

Well, I wouldn’t take wine. People here don’t drink so much wine, but you could take some fruit instead.

Also, how should my husband address Mr. Wang? Should he call him by his first name?

Oh, no, that would be unusual. He looks back to be called Mr. Wang.
