Two months ago, every app on my phone wanted me to know "11/11" was coming. I asked a friend 1it was a special holiday.
She laughed and said it's a 2 holiday. "It's just like Black Friday," she explained. After getting the answer, I actually hoped she was 3.
As we know, Black Friday is the day 4 Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the 5 US holiday. It's a holiday that does not need us to take part in any rush for goods. Yes, we should buy turkeys, the traditional food on this special day. And we also invite friends and family to6. Usually each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the big 7. It's a day to be 8 not for turkeys, but for the people we care about.
Black Friday is the next day. Starting around 4 a.m., thousands of people crowd 9 of stores and malls. When the doors open, they rush into the stores. What are they doing?
On Black Friday, many things are on 10. But if you don't pay for them quickly, they will be sold out soon. As a result, it's "11" for people to "fight" with each other for cheap TVs and computers—even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people 12 the peace of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become crazy consumers(消费者).
13 for "11/11", I opened Taobao to look for winter clothes in advance(提前). Two hours later, I found 14a crazy consumer too. 15 I didn't fight in the crowded stores, I got lost among all kinds of goods and kept buying things I didn't really need. Maybe my friend is right in some way, "11/11" is like Black Friday.
A: Hi, Harris. Do you know our English teacher Greg is leaving to go back to Canada.
B: Really? 1
A: Next Friday!
B: Oh! I am sad to see him go.
A: Me, too. So let's do something special to show our thanks to him next Thursday evening.
B: Sure. 2
A: Well, if we have a party, most of the students will get bored.
B: What about inviting him to our house and cooking Chinese traditional food for him?
A: 3 Then, we need to prepare some vegetables and meat.
B: Yeah. 4 We can go to a supermarket then.
A: I am available and we can go to Center Supermarket.
B: 5
A: Yes, it is. It has the freshest food and the best service.
B: Alright! Let's meet at the supermarket at nine o'clock.
A: OK! See you then!
When someone shouts at you or says something that can hurt you, how will you feel and what will you do? Last week, I learned an important life lesson from a taxi driver.
Last Tuesday, I called a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane(车道)when suddenly a black car jumped out. My driver quickly stopped his car and almost hit the other car! The driver of the other car turned his head around and started shouting at us! My driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, in a really friendly way.
So I asked, "Why did you just do that? That driver almost hit your car and sent us to the hospital!" However, he said, "Many people are like garbage trucks（垃圾车）. They run around full of garbage一all kinds of bad feelings. As their garbage adds up, they need a place to dump （倾倒）it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people."
His words touched me a lot. Since then, I have started to see "garbage trucks" everywhere. I see the load(负载)they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Besides chopsticks vs. knives and forks, there are more differences between Chinese and western dinning.
Cooking methods
While westerners boil, fry roast and bake, Chinese use more methods of cooking, like frying, stewing, boiling and steaming. Besides, Chinese cooks cut everything into small pieces, so people don't need knives to cut it but just pick up their food with chopsticks. Westerners cook food in big pieces and serve it with knives and forks for cutting it up.
Ingredients and spices
Chinese dishes use many ingredients seldom seen in western cooking, like animal feet, ears, tongues and so on. Chinese usually use animal or peanut oil to fry food; westerners use more butter and olive oil. Chinese cooks like to add spices when cooking, like ginger, pepper, garlic, etc. Western cooks usually use pepper powder, mustard(芥末), and tomato ketchup(番茄酱), etc.
Serving the dishes
On the western table, vegetable soup or salad is usually served as the starter, then the main course includes beef, chicken or fish. After the main course, normally some sweet food is served, which can be ice cream, cakes, fruits, etc.
On the Chinese table, the cold dishes and drinking are first. After that, kinds of meat and vegetable dishes are served, to be followed by soup. Then Chinese usually have rice, noodles or dumplings as main course. At last, Chinese like having fresh fruit such as watermelons and pears after meal. That can make one feel fresh and cool in his mouth and stomach.
Placing the dishes
In western dinner, dishes are served in each person's own plate. So each person uses a big plate. In China, dishes are served at the middle of the table for all to share, and each person uses a small plate in front of him or her to hold the food.

This term we have a new English teacher from Australia, Mr Green. He teaches very well and is to us.
Last Sunday some of my classmates and I went to visit him. He cooked some Australian food for us. We taught him to use chopsticks and the way of making dumplings.
He had an interest in making Chinese food. He also told us a lot of western customs(习俗). For example, when they have dinner in a restaurant together, they keep quiet.
When it was time for us to leave, I said to him, "Come to my home for dinner when you have time." He looked happy and asked, "When?" But fact, I was just to be polite. From that, we could see the from country to country.

There's a saying, "You are what you eat." It means it is important to eat good food so that we can healthy. Kids in Japan are a good example of this.
A report by UNICRF(联合国儿童基金会)shows that the health of Japanese children tops the world. Experts say there are many reasons of this. A national school lunch program a key role.
In Japan, children packed lunches to school in the past. But now, they usually eat lunches in their school classrooms. Nutritionist(营养师)makes the menus for the school lunches. All primary schools and a lot of junior high schools in Japan use these menus. Children hand out food to each other. After lunch, teachers let children up the room by themselves. They believe it is also a good way to help improve children's living skills. When they grow up, they able to look after themselves.
That's you to decide what your future will be like.

What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". Why does this season have two names in English? According to Dictionary.com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops(庄稼)would become ripe(成熟)and farmers would have a big harvest(丰收).
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word "harvest" became less useful. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it "the fall of the leaf', or "fall" for short.
It gradually replaced(替代)"fall" as the word for this season.
At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words "fall" and "autumn" with them.

A. English speakers needed a different name for the season. B. The season in October is autumn. C. But at the end of the 1600s, "autumn" from the French word, came to England. D. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest". E. That's why today's Americans have two names for one season. F. But if you go to the US, you will find that people use both "autumn" and "fall". G. Why is it called both "fall" and "autumn"? |
