【題目】Are you a gourmand(美食主義者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world ? Then do you watch the popular program?“A Bite of China(舌尖上的中國)”is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with a special festival food ? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas ofChina,the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.

Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, inChinaa whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish “ yu” sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.

【題目】You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to a school in Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you ?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I am tired.” One day , someone greeted me with “What’s up ?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.” I also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything , so we study hard . But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
