Question

Food in China and western countries is different. China has about five thousand years’ history. They may spend half of their time on food. Chinese people choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials（新鮮的材料）to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. 1. Western countries, like England or America, don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets which only sell stored materials (儲存的材料). 2. They are healthy for man’s body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, and mostly they only boil, steam (蒸) and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desserts and chocolate. They can make very good cakes and chocolate. 3.

In China, the person who invites other people for meal would pay for the meal, but it’s not the same way in western countries. 4. They can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. In western countries like America or England, people will always give tips (小費) to the waiter after they finish the meal in a restaurant. If you don’t, the waiter will not be happy. In China this only happens in some top restaurants and hotels in large cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Another difference in eating is that: 5.

Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people may have more. They usually have afternoon tea when they would have fruit, cakes or biscuits with cheese (奶酪餅干).
