话题举例

★ International food

1 Can you find food from many different countries where you live? [Why/Why not?]

Oh, definitely! The city I currently live in is a real economic and cultural hub with a large population of foreigners, which is likely the reason why we ’re spoiled for choice when it comes to international food. What I mean is that you can find a wide range of restaurants serving Italian, American, Japanese, and even Mexican cuisines. So, I would say it's like a paradise for foodies .

2 How often do you eat typical food from other countries? [Why/Why not?]

Well, in my case , it's pretty rare, basically because I ’m more used to the taste of Chinese cuisine or homemade dishes . Yet I would check out local snacks known for their exotic flavours when I go on a trip, as it makes an important part of travelling.

3 Have you ever tried making food from another country? [Why/Why not?]

Yeah, I've tried my hand at making some foreign dishes. In fact, during my vacation in Chiang Mai, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class where a local chef demonstrated how to prepare authentic Thai dishes such as green curry chicken and mango sticky rice . But I rarely attempt to do this at home, as I don't want to end up with a disaster in my kitchen, with burned pots and inedible meals . In a word, it's too much effort .

4 What food from your country would you recommend to people from other countries? [Why?]

Oh, that's really tough to pick just one or two types of food, as there are countless must-try dishes out there in China. But the one on the top of my list would be Dim Sum , especially when you travel to southern China. Believe it or not, it's like a party on a plate , with all these palatable bite-sized goodies like dumplings, buns , and rolls. Yet it's more than just the taste. What I mean is that it's the hustle and bustle vibes of the dim sum restaurants that you shouldn't miss.
