Dear Linda,
You asked me (tell) you the food people eat in China on Mid-Autumn Day. The moon cake is the (popular) food on that day. But it is not the only food.
In some places of China, the pumpkin(南瓜) is also a traditional food on Mid-Autumn Day. In old days, poor families (choose) to eat pumpkins, because they couldn't afford (买得起) moon cakes. people live a good life now, they still eat pumpkins on Mid-Autumn Day. They believe it will (bring) them good health.
For people in Guangzhou, they enjoy (eat) river snails(田螺) on Mid-Autumn Day. They think the delicious food can help their (eye) bright. It is very interesting tradition.
Salted Duck(桂花鸭) is a common food for people in Jiangsu Province. It has a history of over 2,500 years. And it is the most famous dish of Nanjing.
Is there (some) traditional food in your hometown on Mid-Autumn Day? What is it? And guess what kind of food people will eat on Mid-Autumn Day the future? Can you tell me?
Yours,
Susan
