1.What kinds of food do people in your country like to eat? Well, it really depends on the area, and you know that likes and dislikes also vary from one
person to another. In my province, people frequently cook sweet food. One of our specialties is
sweet and sour pork. If you go to western China, chefs usually prepare spicy dishes. A lot of
people enjoy eating their local traditional cuisine. But on the other hand, a lot of young people
have gotten into the habit of eating Western fast food, and the local McDonald's or KFC is
constantly crowded. The food there is different from what people usually eat at home, and their
marketing campaigns are also very efficient.
2. Do you think that most people in your country eat healthily? Yes, I definitely think so. In China, most people, like me and my family, are used to cooking
at home. It means that the food we eat is clean and not too oily. In addition, typical Chinese
cuisine always involves eating a lot of vegetables, as well as rice, and frequently fish or sea food
as well. This kind of food is very nutritious and healthy. Although it is true that a lot of people
occasionally go out to eat fast food like pizza, greasy hamburgers or oily noodles, I still think that
a majority of people in China pay attention to their eating habits.
3. Do older people and younger people like the same kinds of food? I think that they basically enjoy the same kinds of food, but young people also like changes,
while older people usually stick to the same food week after week. I guess that the older you get,
the more you need to be careful with what you eat. I believe that young people are always willing
to try new restaurants and new flavors. Many young people are attracted to foreign cuisine such as
food from Japan or Italy. I think it would be easier for me to convince my classmates to eat in a
Thai restaurant than to persuade my grandfather to do so, for example.
