Beijing Roast Duck
Beijing Roast Duck is one of the most famous traditional Chinese foods. It is well-known all over the world.
People usually roast ducks in special ovens. After roasting, the duck looks golden and shiny. Its skin is crispy and the meat is tender and delicious.
There is a special way to eat it. We cut the duck into thin pieces. Then we put the duck skin and meat on a thin pancake. We can add some green onions and sweet bean sauce. Roll the pancake up and enjoy it.
It tastes wonderful. Many foreign visitors love this great Chinese food.
Activity 1 Pair work. Write down your answers to the following questions,
and then talk about your favorite traditional food.
1. What favorite food do you want to write about?
2. When and where did you eat the food for the first time?
I want to write about Hot Pot. It’s my favorite.
I first tasted hot pot at a small restaurant near my home when I was 10 years old. My parents prepared different kinds of food for it, such as beef, vegetables and tofu. And it is easy to enjoy. Since then, hot pot has become my favorite food, especially on cold days.
3. How do people cook or eat the food?
It is a very special way of cooking and eating food. Hot pot is filled with soup and is put in the middle of the table. People gather around the table and cook food in the soup. There are many choices such as meat, fresh vegetables and tofu. People choose their own food and put as much food as they like into the pot. Sharing a hot pot is a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends. People can enjoy the dishes and share their stories with each other.
Dear Jane,
How are you doing these days? Last weekend, my cousin visited us, and we took him to have Beijing roast duck-one of the most famous traditional foods in my hometown.
When we sat down in a nice restaurant, a waiter came up to take the order. He told us that people use wood fire to roast the duck in a big oven. The wood fire makes the duck smell nice and taste special. After some time, the duck came to our table. It looked golden and beautiful. Then my father showed my cousin how to eat it. He put some duck meat, duck skin, cucumber, spring onion and sweet sauce on a small pancake, rolled it up and gave it to him. My cousin tasted it and couldn’t stop smiling. He enjoyed it so much that he rolled two more pancakes, one for himself and the other for me.
I hope you can visit China one day. I will take you to eat Beijing roast duck too! I'm sure you’ll love it.

Hot pot is a traditional Chinese food with a long history of over one thousand years. It is popular all over China.
People first make a tasty soup base. It can be spicy or mild. Then they boil the soup in a hot pot. When the soup is boiling, we add meat, vegetables and seafood into it.
With hot steam rising, the hot pot looks warm and lively. It smells very good.
We take out the cooked food and dip it in different sauces. It is great fun to share hot pot with family and friends. It is not only delicious but also brings people closer.

Gongfu Tea is a special traditional Chinese tea culture with a long history. It is popular in southern China, especially in Guangdong and Fujian.
People make Gongfu Tea with small teapots and tiny cups. First, they wash the tea sets with hot water. Then they put tea leaves into the teapot and pour hot water over them. After a short time, they pour the tea into small cups slowly.
Gongfu Tea looks elegant. The tea is light golden and smells fresh. People drink it slowly to enjoy its special taste.
It is not only a kind of drink, but also a way to show Chinese people’s love for life.
