People in different places eat different things.
In South China people like to eat rice. Sometimes they eat it twice or three times a day. They usually eat it with fish, meat and vegetables. It tastes very delicious.
Japanese like to eat rice, too. They also eat a lot of fish. Sometimes they eat raw (生的) fish. It sounds strange but smells very fresh.
In western countries like Britain, Australia and the USA, the most important food is bread or potatoes. People usually make their bread at home. And they cook potatoes in different ways. In England the most popular food is fish and chips. Sometimes people eat this food at ho me, in their workplace, in the park or even on the street. People call it ”takeaway” food.
In China today, there are also much ”takeaway” food, and most children like to eat them.

English habits
I have an English friend. One day I came to see him. He invited me to dinner. At table Englishmen had their good manners. To accept a dish was by saying, “Yes, please.”To decline (谢绝) it was by saying, “No, thanks .”When eating they made little noise.
After dinner he went upstairs to change his clothes. But he did not come back. After a while I went upstairs and found him i n bed asleep. That was his habit.
Habits are very strong. If a man by habit says”Thank you”and”please”,it is easy for him to be polite. If a man smokes a great deal, it becomes very difficult for him to stop. A language is also made of habits. So we should form good habits of reading and speaking English.
