Mooncakes: a taste that is out of this world!
By Jake Zhao
Of all the foods I have ever tried, the mooncake is my favourite. There are many versions of mooncakes from different places around China. They have a variety of fillings and among them I love the sweet red bean filling best. I remember trying my first mooncake with my family when I was very little. We sat outside in my grandparents’ yard while the full moon shone above us. It was a very special moment. My elderly grandmother still bakes mooncakes for the whole family every year. She can turn the flour and red beans into wonderful mooncakes like magic. When she places them on the table, they look adorable—small, round and shiny golden-brown. The delicious smell soon reaches my nose and my mouth starts to water. When I pick up a mooncake, it feels warm and heavy in my hand. As I take each bite, the sweet and mild flavour of the red bean filling slowly fills my mouth. The mooncake is always my favourite because of its satisfying taste that is out of this world and the happy memories it brings to mind.

Tiramisu cheers me up
By Amy Xu
My favourite food is a popular Italian dessert called tiramisu. I first tried it about two years ago, when I visited a bakery with my parents.Each spoonful of this amazing dessert is a light, creamy experience to remember. There are three layers of the cake and the cheese is between the layers, making the dessert feel soft and smooth. There is also a bitter taste of coffee but this flavour is not very strong. Tiramisu does not look very attractive—it’s brown, because of the coffee and dark chocolate, and white, because of the cream and cheese—but all these ingredients make it taste delicious!Since I tried it for the first time, tiramisu has become my favourite dessert. I have also learnt that the name tiramisu means “cheer me up” in Italian. Whenever I feel unhappy, I eat this dessert and it does make me feel better!

What different attitudes towards food do Jake and Amy show in their articles
Jake links mooncakes closely to Chinese traditional festivals and warm family reunion memories, valuing food as a carrier of family love and cultural traditions. However, Amy treats tiramisu as a way to comfort herself, focusing more on how food cheers her up and heals her personal bad moods.
Apart from taste, what else can food carry for people
Food carries family love, traditional culture, precious childhood memories, comfort for bad moods and the characteristics of a country.
What is your favourite food
Why do you like it (How it looks, smells, tastes and feels in your
mouth, how you associate it with a particular experience, etc.)
In pairs, talk about your favourite food. Use the following questions to help you.
Using rhetorical questions in conversation
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of
a question that is asked to emphasize a point or to express feelings and attitudes. For example, when you ask “How can I forget such a tasty dish ”, you are actually emphasizing that you always remember the dish.
A: What is your favourite food
B: Dumplings! My favourite style is pork and cabbage dumplings.
A: Homemade dishes always hit the spot. Dumplings I only eat them during the
Spring Festival.
B: Really They look white and plump after boiling, and smell fresh and warm. The
filling is juicy, with mild cabbage balancing the rich pork taste. Vine and garlic
make them taste even more wonderful.
A: I’m still not good at wrapping them myself.
B: Do you know what you are missing Well, if you want to make tasty ones, I
recommend mixing the filling with a little sesame oil. It tastes much better.
A: I’ll remember that. When did you first try it
Example
B: When I was little, my grandma made dumplings for our whole family on New Year’s
Eve. I especially remember the warm steam filling the kitchen.
A: What did you think when you took your first bite
B: How can I ever forget the first bite The thin wrapper is soft and slippery, while the
meat filling inside is full of tasty soup. As I chew, the fresh flavour spreads all over
my mouth.
A: It sounds amazing. I want to learn to make them sometime.
B: You bet! After trying many fillings, I can tell the differences between all kinds of
dumplings. Their warm flavour always comforts me, and it makes me treasure
time spent with my family.

Dumplings: Warm family flavour
Of all traditional Chinese foods, dumplings are my favourite. There are many kinds of fillings across China, and I love pork and cabbage ones most. I first enjoyed dumplings with my whole family on New Year’s Eve when I was little.
Dumplings look white and plump after being boiled. They send out warm, fresh smells. Their wrappers feel soft and smooth, and the juicy filling tastes mild and slightly sweet. Vine makes them taste even better. The best feeling comes when juicy soup bursts inside your mouth as you bite them.
Ever since my first bite, I have fallen in love with dumplings. I can tell the differences between all fillings now. I love them for their great taste and the warm family time they always bring me.
