Q: What is your favourite food? [Why?]
A: I love so many different kinds of food. You know how huge our country is. People in the coastal regions are usually big on seafood. They love to eat fish, shrimps, and crabs, anything from the ocean. In the western region of China, people tend to eat spicy food, with lots of peppers. In the north, people eat dumplings and a lot of fried food. In general, rice and vegetables make up the main daily diet of the Chinese. My favourite type of food is hot pot. I am sure you are familiar with Sichuan cuisine. They fry red hot chilies with meat or vegetables. Everything is so tasty and colourful!
我喜欢很多不同种类的食物。你知道我们的国家非常的大。沿海地区的人通常非常喜欢吃海鲜。他们喜欢吃鱼、虾、蟹，等任何海洋里的东西。在中国西部地区，人们喜欢吃辣的食物，里面有很多辣椒。在北方，人们吃饺子和很多油炸食品。一般来说，米饭和蔬菜是中国人的主要日常饮食。我最喜欢的食物是火锅。我相信你对川菜很熟悉。他们把红辣椒和肉或蔬菜一起炒。每样东西都是那么美味，那么多姿多彩!
