Lesson 1 : Meals
I prefer Chinese food and moreover street food. Chinese food has every spice and sauce essence in it which makes the dish very delicious and tempting to eat.
I would like to try more of a continental dish as they tend to concentrate on ingredients such as olive oil, natural herbs, and also very minimal spices which makes it healthy.
Yes, I like cooking as it really soothes my mind and also I live far from my hometown. So I make my own healthy meals which help me to maintain good health. As I like to cook and make my own meals it really saves me a lot of money.
The last meal which I tried to cook was spaghetti which is a type of Italian pasta. It mostly consists of lots of herbs, veggies, and also sauces.
I prefer home-cooked food more as it is more safe and healthy and moreover we get assured that it is completely hygienic. Also, we can learn to cook more dishes at home itself.

what you would eat and
explain why you would choose to eat this food.
PART 3
Many Chinese people like to eat their vegetables cooked. They enjoy eating food that is fried, steamed, and sometimes boiled, but rarely eat baked food. The only time they would eat baked foods is when they have cakes from the store. Most Chinese food is cut in bite-sized pieces before being cooked and served.
I think eating healthy is a very important part of life. If you don’t give your body what it needs then it won’t be able to function well. This is why what you eat is so important to how well you are able to do things. Eating well even improves study.
I believe there are a fair amount of vegetarians. Most Chinese already eat very little meat, so without even trying they are almost vegetarians. However, I think if they had the chance, many Chinese would eat more meat than they do now. Though as health awareness increases I believe there will be a rise in the number of vegetarians in China.
I think that in many ways it is quite the same. I do know that in recent years there has been a rise in the number of fast-food restaurants . Many people especially of the younger generation, enjoy going to these restaurants. The actual Chinese food, though, has not seen much change over the years.
Our eating habits will of course affect the way we will live in the future because of the effect it has on our health. If we eat well then we will have better health as we get older. I believe, though, that as time goes by fast food will become more popular. We will be entering a time in history where going fast will mean the difference between success and failure, so the food industry will change to accommodate the population’s demand.
Yes, fast food is very popular here in China. I believe the main reason is because the taste is very different from that of Chinese food. This appeals to the youth of China. Also the advertisements of most fast food restaurants portray their food as cool or western food.
Chinese will usually eat with their family, classmates, or colleagues. Most couples eat together as often as they can. When eating out you will often see groups of friends out together You can also see families sharing some time together over a nice meal.
I think that when you eat with your family it strengthens the family bonds . It helps you get to know each other better and learn more about what each other is doing in their lives. It’s very sad when families don’t see each other often. Often in China mealtimes are the only time a family spends time together.
I think most families rarely eat out. Usually either the mother or the grandmother of the family will cook and prepare the food. It is more common for young singles and professionals to eat out, either alone or with classmates or colleagues. Often married or dating couples will spend a dinner together for special occasions or to get know each other more.
I think they prefer fast-food or western restaurants. Often it’s because it is considered cool to eat or take people out to these kinds of restaurants. Or, they enjoy the food because it tastes different from Chinese food. They also may want to accustom themselves to western food and culture, because they want to be comfortable around foreigners or they would like to travel abroad.
Before, restaurants did not cater for foreigners at all. The menus were all in Chinese and had no pictures. Now more restaurants, especially in areas with many foreigners, will have menus in English and pictures for those who are not familiar with Chinese dishes
I think that in the future all or nearly all restaurants will have food to cater to different nationalities and food preferences. I think that the standard of both food and services will also improve. They will also probably be more sanitary.
