    When you are eating dinner with your family, do your parents ever remind you to finish all the food on your plate? If so, you should know it's not just because they want you to be healthy. They also want to stop food waste.

    Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world, according to the UN. That's about one-third of all food produced each year.

    We make a survey in 34 countries to see how much food is wasted in different countries.

    For example, the UAE（阿联酋） wastes the most food, with each person wasting about 1,000 kilos every year on average.

    However, some countries have worked hard to use their food resources wisely. France wastes the least amount of food, according to the survey. France was the first country to pass laws that ban（禁止） food waste. It's not allowed to throw away fresh food. Another law forces French restaurants to provide bags for people's leftovers（剩菜剩饭）.

    China ranked 23rd for food waste in the survey. China's food waste is around 18 million tons every year, enough to feed up to 50 million people for one year. Facing this situation, China has been working hard to reduce food waste. In early 2013, a movement to prevent food waste called "empty plate" began. It has become popular among both government officials and general public.

    In our daily life, our parents do many things for us. But what can we do for them? Students in one class got special homework last weekend.

    However, only 12 out of 54 students finished the homework. Some said it was a funny thing while others just thought the teacher was trying to attract attention. They even asked, "They can take a shower. Why should we wash our parents' feet?"

     "I want them to know how hard their parents work to support them. Washing feet is just a way of showing love." He said.

    However, nowadays many young people don't respect their parents and some even do cruel things to them.

    When one student wanted to wash his parents' feet, his father said, "Why, my son? Are you in need of money?"

    Another student Andy said he washed his parents' feet for about five minutes.  "I talked a lot with my parents while I was washing their feet," he said. "As I grow up, I would possibly say to my teacher that my parents and I all think doing this homework has made us closer."

    I enjoy reading, which helps me improve my English a lot. If you want to do that like me, here are some suggestions for you.

    Firstly, it's important to choose a book which is the right level for you. If you are just starting out with English, don't try to read a 600—page classic novel!

    Secondly, although having a dictionary at hand to look up words is useful, you should try not to translate word by word, or you will soon get bored. Look up the words that you think are important to understand the text or follow the sentence. This will make it more likely that you will remember it in the future,

    Finally, perseverance（毅力） is the key. Although at first it may seem that reading has become a chore, you will soon get into the story and you will end up not being able to put the book down! The feeling of finishing a book in a different language is very satisfying. If you finish one, don't stop there! The more you read, the more vocabularies you will learn and the more you will become familiar with sentence structures and common phrases.

    I hope next time you pick up a book, it will be in English.

His offer was accepted, after he completed this work and received his pay, he went to another neighbor and offered the same service.
