4. What kinds of food do you think will be more popular in the future?
I think that traditional local food will be more popular in the future, because people will get
tired of globalization and the international influences it brings with it. I think that in 5 or 10 years,
foreign restaurants won't be as cool as they are nowadays, and people will get back to cooking their
own food and following old recipes.
5. Is food an important aspect of cultural life in your country?
Definitely
！
Food is a major aspect of Chinese culture. We love to eat great food in China. We
are always very proud of our local specialties
．
Actually, eating tasty food is a priority in life for
most Chinese
．
When people travel, they always want to taste new delicacies and flavors. You might
know that in China, when we greet each other, we don't ask "How are you?" like in English, but we
ask people if they have eaten yet. We say, "Hello, have you eaten?" Food is an essential part of our
culture.
6. How important is food for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and
festivals?
Food is extremely important for big celebrations. In China, there is no party without food. For
Spring Festivals, families spend hours preparing the most fantastic meal of the year. For a wedding,
guests are invited for a big meal. A wedding dinner will last for a long time, with a great variety of
dishes. Food is a fundamental aspect of Chinese culture.

·In the future…
For my mother's birthday, my father decided to invite the whole family to the nicest hotel in the
city. We had dinner at the Shangri-La hotel, and it was the first t
ime I’d ever been to such a fancy
restaurant.
The Shangri-La is the most renowned hotel in my hometown. It's a prestigious five- star palace, and
only rich people can afford to stay there. I was amazed by the setting: the ceiling in the hotel is
extremely high, and the place is really well-decorated with paintings and chandeliers. It is a pleasure
and a privilege to eat there.
My father booked a table for the three of us as well as my grandma on my mother's side of the
family. He put our names down for the buffet, so that we could eat everything we wanted, and as
much as we liked. It was absolutely incredible
！
There was so much tasty food available, you
wouldn't believe it
！
First of all, the sea food, with crab, lobster, shrimps and oysters…I filled my
plate twice, and I enjoyed every bite
！
Then I went to get meat: the beef filets were stunning, and
the pork chops were out of this world
！
Later on, we had dessert, and my father kept on getting
chocolate pudding. I completely fell for the apple pies.
My grandmother did not eat that much because she says she must be careful with her diet,
because of her health, but she enjoyed looking at us feasting
（＝
eat a lot)
．
My father told the
waitresses it was my mother's birthday, and they gave us a cake to take home. They also brought
many little cup cakes with candles on them, and we all sang the birthday song. My mother laughed
a lot, and I think she was sincerely happy.
It was a memorable meal, and I hope to get a chance to go there again soon, although I know
it must be very expensive. I think that in the future, once I have a great job, I will invite my family
to such restaurants on a regular basis, because it is truly enjoyable to eat in a top-notch classy) place
like that.
