Activity 1
1. Yes. Whenever I feel stressed about exams, I always eat my mum's homemade chocolate chip cookies. They remind me of weekends at home when she would bake them fresh. The sweet smell and warm taste make me feel safe and loved, even when I'm away at school. I think it's not just about the taste, but the happy memories connected to it.
2. In China, many people find comfort in warm porridge or dumplings because these foods are often associated with family gatherings and home cooking. In Western countries, people might prefer macaroni and cheese(奶酪通心粉) or apple pie because these are traditional homemade dishes there. This shows that comfort foods are deeply connected to our childhood experiences and cultural traditions—they're not just about nutrition but about emotional connections to our past.

Activity 3
1—5 ADBCD
Activity 4
1. I think people's comfort food and favourite food are different in two ways. First, people's comfort food often remains the same, while their favourite food can come and go. Second, people's comfort food is usually connected with memories from their childhood, while favourite food is often connected with satisfying their hunger.
2. The food we eat impacts our health directly. If we eat healthy food, we will be healthy, and we will be unhealthy if we constantly eat processed foods like junk food. Our food choices are often reflected in how we look too—our skin may not be clear or we may become overweight if we eat unhealthily, so eating freshly prepared local and seasonal foods is better for us to keep healthy and look good.
