I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So , I have already made a few friends and had some English food there. But after (have) three days of potato, sandwiches and (hamburger), I thought none could be delicious than Chinese food, [ɪˈspeʃəlɪ] my favorite—huo guo, When I knew there was going to a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students, I was so excited I went to the canteen quickly. To surprise, when I stepped into the room, I didn't see any  [saɪn] of huo guo. After I talked with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is (write) in two words—hot pot；and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
