Every country has its favorite food. Italians like to eat pizza. Indians like to eat hot food. Japanese like to eat fish. Often they don’t cook it. In England, one of the most popular kinds of food is fish and chip. People usually buy it in a fish and chip shop. They put it in paper bags, and take it home, or to their workplace. Sometimes they eat it in the park or on the road. The world’s favorite food is American fast food. If you go to some important cities in the world, you can find people eating hamburgers and chips. Fish and chips, and Chinese take-away food are very popular in England. But they are less popular in the USA; they eat take-away food, too, like chicken.

Dear Allen,

How’s it going I’m in Beijing now, at Beijing International School. I’m

in Class 2 with twelve other students. They’re from different countries. I’m living with a Chinese family. They are very friendly. They like to

eat dumplings, noodles and rice. Now I’m very interested in cooking. Yesterday they taught me to make noodles with tomato soup, their favorite food. Now, let me tell you how to make them.

First, cut up some green onions and two tomatoes. Turn on the gas cooker

and heat about three teaspoons of oil (油) in a pan. Put in the green onions,

then the tomatoes, mix well with the oil and cook for about five minutes.

Next pour two bowls of water into the pan and cook for about eight minutes.

Then crack two eggs into a bowl, beat it up (搅打) and pour it slowly into

the pan. After one or two minutes, add one teaspoon of salt. Now the soup

is OK. Finally, pour the soup over the noodles. It’s very delicious! Do

you want to have a try

Write to me soon.

Love, Paula
