Passage 1:
Eating in China
Hi. I’m Lin, I’m eleven and I’m from China. Chinese food is really delicious. We eat a
lot of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat. We fry and steam a lot of our food. It is very
healthy.
In China, people don’t usually eat with knives and fork. Instead that we use chopsticks
and we use sometimes use spoon.
We usually eat from big serving dishes. We put them in the middle of the table, but we
sometimes serve portions of rice in small bowls. In China, we don’t think it’s rude to
reach across the table to take food from serving dishes.
We do think it is rude to take the last piece of food from a serving dish for yourself. We
offer it to another person instead. That is very polite.
When your bowl is empty, someone gives you more food. When you are full, you put
your hand over your bowl or leave some food un your bowl. We don’t put our chopsticks
on top of our bowls. We put them on the table next to us when we finish eating. We don’t
use napkins, but we usually clean our hands with hot towels at the end of the meal.
