Rice is a favourite food for many people. We have rice nearly
every day. It’s like a soft and white cloud in our bowls.
Rice means a lot to Chinese culture. There’s a saying, “Every
grain of rice is a drop of farmer’s sweat(汗水).” This means we should cherish（珍惜） our food because it takes a lot of work to grow it. Rice is more than food. It also can be made into different things. Artists use them to show good wishes during festivals and holidays.
For me, rice is not only a gift from the earth, but also something that makes me feel happy.When I eat rice with my family, we share love and have fun together. It is a way of feeling connected（连接） to our roots.
