Describe your favorite food.
Jiaozi (Chinese Dumpling)
I am going to say something about Cihnese dumpling, or Jiaozi in Chinese. Jiaozi (Chinese Dumpling) is a very traditional Chinese Food, which is essential during holidays like Chinese New Year especially in Northern China. It is a very delicious food. You can make a variety of Chinese dumplings using different fillings based on your taste and how various ingredients. Usually when you have Chinese dumpling for dinner, you will not have to cook anything else. The dumpling itself is good enough for dinner. This is one of the advantages of Chinese dumpling over other foods, though it may take longer to make them.
Making dumplings is really teamwork. Usually all family members join the work. Someone makes the filling; someone makes the dough and others roll skins. I am very good at rolling skins, which is the trickiest part. It is a lot of fun. Relatives catch up things when they are making dumplings. Children run all around, shouting and playing with each other.
Recipes
There are several stages. The first one is to make the dough. Put flour on a clear surface in a heap and pour water into it until it makes a flexible dough. Then you have to knead it for a while until it flexible and not too sticky. Then you go to the second stage which is to prepare the filling. It’s quite variable but usually finely minced pork and leek or whatever green vegetable is available. You have to chop the filling ingredients very fine on a chopping board. And then you mix the vegetable well into the pork. Next, you go on to rolling out the skins. This is the tricky part. It’s best to get them pretty thin and roll out rough circles. The next move is to fill in dumpling. You only put quite a small amount of filling on the dough and then fold together the edges of the skin to form a half moon shape, and press the edges well together. It’s important to seal the edges well because otherwise the Jiaozi may lose their filling when you cook them. And the last stage is to cook them, or more precisely, to boil them in the water. When the dumplings float on the water, just scoop up them. And ready to eat. Don’t forget to have a dip in the
vinegar or whatever sauce you like.
Stuffed mushroom
This is a traditional German home dish. The main ingredients are medium-sized mushroom, pork and veal mince. Usually half pork and half veal, or as you like. If you can’t get them minced, of course, you have to buy
the meat and mince it yourself. Then you peel and finely chop an onion and a couple of ginger slices. Put the meat, onion and gingers in a bowl, add a spoon of soy sauce, 3 teaspoons of cornflower, a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper, and mix well. Then you wash the mushrooms and remove the stems. Fill the cavity of the mushrooms with the meat stuffing and mound the filling in the center. When that’s done you melt some butter or other fat in an ovenproof dish and place the stuffed mushrooms in it. Cover the dish with a lid. Then bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Then you remove the lid and bake the dish for another 15 minutes. As soon as you take the mushrooms out of the oven, you drain off the juices in the pan. Ready to serve.
Kung Pao Chicken
I am going to describe a very famous Sichuan dish called Kung Pao Chicken, which is one of my favourites. Actually this dish is so famous that it is not long popular in China, it’s also highly recommended by many foreign friends I know.
It tastes very delicious. If you prefer strong spicy taste, you will love it. The main ingredients are boneless chicken, red and green peppers, peanuts and chestnuts. This is how we usually cook Kung Pao Chicken. First of all, cut chicken into biteable pieces and then mix together with cornstarch, soy sauce and egg white in a bowl. Then in a separate bowl or plate, combine green peppers, chestnuts and celery and sit aside. The next move is to heat
the wok by pour a teaspoon of peanut oil. Stir-fry the red peppers until they
are lightly brown. Then add chicken and stir-fry until the chicken is almost
cooked through. Add the vegetables too and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add
a pinch of soy sauce and heat for a few minutes to combine the flavours. The
last thing is to sprinkle the peanuts over. Ready to serve.
It is a very appetizing dish so it’s better to enjoy eating it over rice. Kung Pao Chicken is pretty universal in the Chinese restaurants so people eating out are
keen to order this dish.

Describe your favorite animal.
I love dog. Dogs are adorable animals. My dog’s name is Darcy and he’s a
2-year-old husky.
It’s an interesting story how Darcy become one of the family. Just before my 22-year-old birthday, my friends asked me what I wanted. I said how I wish I could have a pet dog. I didn’t take it serious because it was just a momentary
thought and also it would could a fortune. But you know what, they chipped in and bought me a dog. And it’s Darcy.
He is very energetic and smart. I have taught him a lot of tricks. He can play hide and seek. He knows how to fetch things if I tell him to. He does roll overs and can also stand on his hind legs. He wags his tail when he is happy. He always barks when somebody comes to the door. But sometimes he is over-friendly and throws himself to people.
Sometimes he is very naughty. I don’t like it when I have to take him for a walk in the rain and then he jumps all over the sofa with his muddy paws. He loves to run and socialize with others. He is active as well. He is able to run tirelessly for miles. When I’m walking him, it looks as if he is walking me.
He’s so strong and quick that I feel I am all out, a good way to lose weight.
Kiwis
As you may or may not know, kiwi is the national bird of New Zealand – and
sometimes New Zealanders themselves are known as 'Kiwis'. Now, while kiwis in the wild are a rare sight, the kiwi as a symbol is far more visible. Apart from being in toy stores and airport shops all over the world, you'll find them on our stamps and coins. The kiwi is the smallest member of the genus Apteryx which also includes ostriches and emu. It gets its name from its shrill call which sounds very much like this – kee-wee kee-wee. Kiwis live in forests or swamps
and feed on insects, worms, snails and berries. It's a nocturnal bird with limited sight and therefore it has to rely on its very keen sense of smell to find food and to sense danger, Its nostrils are actually right on the end of its long beak which is one third of the body length. Now here's an interesting fact. Although kiwis have wings, they serve little purpose because the kiwi is a flightless bird. Since white settlement of the islands, kiwi numbers have dropped from 12 million to less than 70,000 and our national bird is rapidly becoming an endangered species. This is because they’re being threatened by what we
call introduced animals which were brought to New Zealand such as cats and ferrets which eat kiwi eggs and their chicks.
Giant Panda
I’d like to say something about our national animal – giant panda. Pandas are
famous for their black and white markings. The legs, shoulders, ears and oval patches around the eyes are black, and the rest of the coat is white. Pandas live in dense bamboo forests. They are good tree climbers and they can swim to escape predators. Different from the other bear species, the panda is the only herbivores in the family. Pandas feed mostly on bamboo but also eat flowers and even honey. Although it was once more widespread, today this rare species is limited to south-western China. The number of giant panda is decreasing mainly due to the loss of their natural habitat to the increasing human populations and periodic bamboo die-offs. Our
government is taking efforts to save this kind of adorable animal.

The Eagle and the Chicks
I am going to describe a very interesting Chinese game I played in my childhood. It is called 'The Eagle and the Chicks', which is a fun, easy to play and a perfect outdoor game for kids.
This game needs at least five kids to start, and the more kids participating, the more fun it would be. Choose a kid as the eagle and another kid as the mother hen. The rest of the kids will be the chicks. In the game, the eagle tries to catch the last chick in the line so he or she will be no longer the eagle, and the mother hen tries to protect the chicks from the eagle.
The chicks will line behind the mother hen one by one. The first chick behind the mother hen will hold on to her waist or cloth, the one behind the first chick will hold on the first, and so on. The eagle can catch the last chick by tagging, and the mother hen can protect the chicks by spreading her arms shoulder high. When the chasing begins, the eagle is free to run anywhere to catch the chick. The mother hen will try to be in front of the eagle to protect the chicks. The eagle has to bypass the mother hen to catch the last chick and he will try to avoid any contact with the mother hen. To help the mother hen, the chicks will try to run out of the way of the eagle. The chicks don't have to be in the line all the time. They may run out of the line and play tag with the eagle. If the eagle catches the last chick, this round will be over and they switch roles for another round.
Rubber Band Rope Jumping
I’d like to say something about a game called rubber band rope jumping. Rubber band jumping was popular in my primary school which was only for girls. This game can help children to practice their jumping skills, develop coordination, and also meet lots of friends.
Rubber band jumping is a low cost game. We only need some rubber bands. We looped rubber bands together tightly until we had a larger one (One can select the length she likes). When we got three persons together, we could start our game. Here's how we played this special jump rope game. Two girls stood opposite each other and extended the rubber band. One player jumped and stood on one side of the rubber band, carrying the two sides together. Then she jumped again and made the two sides separate. After that she jumped again into the middle of the rubber-band and after that she jumped outside it. If we finished these steps without any mistakes, we started the next level. As the game continued, the level of jumping got higher and higher. There were four jumping levels: ankle high, knee high, waist high, and under the shoulder. More and more girls tried to jump and we competed as
teams. The game is fun. But it is kind of pity nowadays we very rarely see young girls playing this game.
Hopscotch
I want to say something about hopscotch, which I personally think is a pretty universal game around the world. Children always enjoy drawing grids on the sidewalk or on the ground and then jumping or hopping from one end of the grid to the other. I remember when I was a little boy, most afternoons I used to play hopscotch with my friends in our neighbourhood. There could be any number of players, which means I could even play by myself. But there were always more fun with more kids. A stone was the only object we needed to play it. First of all, someone drew on the ground rectangles or squares arranged side by side with a figure in it. To play this game, each player had to hop to the first rectangle, then to the second one and them to the third one and so on. After reaching the last number with the last grid, the player had to turn around still on one leg and hop back from the last number to the first one. While hopping, the player must not step on the line between the rectangles, and must keep his balance. If, for instance, the player’s other leg ( the one
which is lifted) touches the ground, the player then fails.

Describe your favourite movie.
Sleepless in Seattle
I am a huge fan of love story. One of my favourite movies is “You’ve got mail”,
staring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, who have successfully proven their popularity in another equally romantic and hilarious comedy, “Sleepless in
Seattle”.
Tom Hanks is playing one of his least-agreeable characters, Joe Fox, part owner of the Fox Book Superstore chain. He is a cold businessman who puts the competition out of business without a second thought. Kathleen Kelly, on the other hand, is pure Meg Ryan. She owns a small children’s bookstore
called “the shop around the corner”, finds herself in direct conflict with Joe, whose nearby superstore is stealing all of her customers by seducing them with discount and free gifts.
They are business rivals in the real world, but fall for each other in the online chat room. If you are a fan of “Sleepless in Seattle”, you will almost certainly
fall in love with the similar-yet-different nature of the production.
Saving Private Ryan
When I first saw it in theatres, I can remember walking out of the theatre thinking that it would easily win the Best Picture Oscar. There wasn’t a doubt
in my mind. And I am right.
The movie stars Tom Hanks, of course, as captain John Miller, a man who must find Private James Ryan behind enemy lines. Why? His three brothers were killed in action, and as the only surviving son in his family, he’s
being sent home. So Miller, along with his group venture deep into the heart of combat, questioning why they are there and having to find the answers within themselves. There are some of the most intense battle scenes ever put on film. But it goes along with the theme of the movie “war is hell”.
