What do you know about American food?

A fortune cookie is a sweet, crisp biscuit with a piece of paper inside that is supposed to say what will happen to you in the future. Fortune cookies are often served in Chinese restaurants in the US.
Nachos are a popular food based on corn, of Mexican origin that can be either made quickly to serve as a snack or prepared with more ingredients(配菜) to make a full meal. In their simplest form, nachos are chips covered in cheese.
Gumbo is a type of soup or stew from the southern United States. It can be made with chicken, sausage, shrimp or fish. People often put rice in it.
The term hamburger derives from the name of the city of Hamburg in Germany. A hamburger is ground meat which has been shaped into a flat circle. It’s a sandwich consisting of a fried cake of minced(切碎的) beef served on a bun, often with other ingredients.

Take notes
When taking notes, just write down the key words, such as names, dates, and numbers. They will help you remember things later on. To save time and space, omit all articles (a, an, the) and use abbreviations. For example, use “N.O.” for New Orleans, “bc” for because, “yrs” for years, “+” for and, and so on.

Listening text
Interviewer: Today our guest is Steve Fox. He’s here to talk about cultural influences on American food. Welcome, Steve!
Steve: Thank you. It’s nice to be here.
Interviewer: When it comes to American food, some say no food was ever invented in America. What do you think?
Steve: Hmm...That’s not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from Hamburg in Germany, but they’re wrong. The recipe for the meat in a hamburger may have come from Germany, but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by Americans.
Interviewer: You mean there was a mixing of cultures? Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States.
Steve: Right. And there are many more examples of mixed-culture dishes. Like nachos, for example.
Interviewer: Oh, I just love nachos! Mexican corn chips covered in cheese!
Steve: Yes, they’re delicious, but they’re not traditional Mexican food. The recipe was actually invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers. Then there are fortune cookies….
Interviewer: What do you mean?
Steve: They’re not Chinese.
Interviewer: You’re kidding! But every Chinese restaurant in America has them!
Steve: Yes, but they’re unknown in China. About 100 years ago, someone in San Francisco put a piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a Japanese-style cookie, and the fortune cookie was born!
Interviewer: Wow! That’s interesting! So they’re like a mix of the Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures.
Steve: You got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago, and mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking.
Interviewer: So it’s the food of many different cultures, all in one dish?
Steve: Exactly. American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.
Activity 5: Imagine you are invited to a potluck dinner at an American friend’s house. Work in pairs and discuss what special dish(es) you will take. The following questions may help you.
What food / snack from which area / ethnic group will you bring?
How is the food prepared and what is it made of?
How is this food special?
A: What are you doing there, Lily?
B: I am making dumplings. Lily invites me to join in a potluck party. I want to take something special.
A: How do you make dumplings?
B: First, you need to add water to flour to form a paste. Then, cut some vegetables into small pieces. Mix them with meat and some
seasoning. Now, you can make dumplings.
A: Why do you prepare dumplings for the party?
B: Dumplings mean getting together. The dumplings show that I am happy to be with them.

LISTENING PART 1
Justin: Hey, Wu Yue, do you know what kind of instrument these Miao performers are
playing?
Wu Yue: Yes, it’s called a lusheng, my favourite musical instrument.
Justin: It sounds beautiful. Is it made of bamboo?
Wu Yue: Yes. Can you guess when it was invented?
Justin: Um...five hundred years ago? I can’t tell. I know China has a very long history.
Wu Yue: That’s a good guess, but the lusheng actually has a history of over 3,000 years. It’s even mentioned in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry.
Justin: Wow, such a long time ago. There must be many beautiful songs.
Wu Yue: Yes, indeed, and they all make me proud. You know, I’m a Miao, too, and I’m
really proud of our culture. Look the performers are performing the lusheng
dance. [ Music. ]
LISTENING PART 2
[A few minutes later. ]
Justin: Great, now I have my souvenirs. So where are we going next, Wu Yue?
Wu Yue: I’m taking you to Zhaoxing, a pretty Dong minority village. It’s considered one
of China’s most beautiful villages.
Justin: Great, I can’t wait. There must be a lot to see.
Wu Yue: There is. First, I’ll take you to see the beautiful drum towers, and then the wind
and rain bridges. The Dong play the lusheng, too. Perhaps you’ll see them
perform the Grand Song of the Dong People. Believe me, you’ll love it.
Justin: Wow, I’m really looking forward to it now.
Justin: This is great! And I really like the silver accessories that the girls are wearing.
What are they?
Wu Yue: Oh, they’re traditional hand-made accessories. I can help you buy some as
souvenirs if you like.
Justin: Great, thanks! I hope they’re not too expensive.
Wu Yue: Oh, well, it’ll depend on the percentage of silver.
Showing you are listening
Exactly! You’re right! I see. I know what you mean.
No way! You’re kidding! Really? I can’t believe it!
Great!/Super! That’s interesting Wow! Tell me about it!
Activity 3: Work in groups. Imagine Justin is telling some friends about his trip to Guizhou. One of you is Justin and the rest of you are his friends. Ask Justin questions about his trip and experience. The following expressions may help you.
Phil: So, Justin, how was your trip to Guizhou?
Justin: It was great. I went to this Miao village.
Robyn: I see. What was that like?
Justin: People were dressed up in these wonderful ethnic costumes, and some
men were playing a musical instrument called lusheng.
Bill: Tell me about it!
Justin: The lusheng is made of bamboo, and it was invented more than 3,000
years ago.
Phil: Wow! That’s interesting.
Justin: Yes, it is. Then I bought some souvenirs made out of silver.
Robyn: You’re kidding! Were they expensive?
Justin: Well, these weren’t that expensive. They don’t really have that much
silver in them.
