Task 3 Careful reading
Read the second and third paragraphs and complete the notes.
Mine start with my mother. She can do magic in the kitchen: Tofu and beef become red, hot mapo tofu; carrots and mutton become lovely dumplings; a big fat hen becomes a pot of warm chicken soups; even eggs and green onions become wonderful pancakes. I always grow hungry thinking of them!

But my favourite food is porridge. I often wake up to the smell of porridge. Sometimes, it’s sweet eight-treasure porridge. Other times, it’s porridge with pork and thousand-year-old eggs. Each kind of porridge tastes great in its own way. When I fall ill, my mother always makes plain rice porridge for me. That’s the simplest food on any Chinese menu. For me, however, it’s the best food in the world. And it’s better medicine than a pill!

Language points
1. Delicious memories 美味的记忆
该标题使用了通感的修辞手法。“通感"又称“移觉”, 简单来说,就是用一种感官来描述另一种感官的体验。如有些颜色引起“冷”或“暖”的感觉,就是用触觉(冷或暖)来描述视觉(颜色)。
memory本身没有味道,但是却用了delicious这种味觉表达词来修饰,使读者更能够感同身受。
