Differences in thinking
THANKS
But in England or other west countries, people like eating
hamburgers, chips, pizza, pasta as their main course, they eat them with vegetable salad, they eat with drinking (water or juice),and they eat with separate plates. In China, we become full up when we finish all the food, then we don’t eat anything, but in west countries, people eat desserts after they finish their meals.
Differences in living style
Chinese prefer getting up early and go to bed early too. We
usually go home early and cook meals, then we eat and watch TV, then we go to bed. We often work during the holidays , children often go to different spare schools to study. We like save money and when we have enough money, we then go and buy what we want, in my opinion, Chinese are so tired and busy;

In an informal situation, westerners will introduce each other by first name, without titles, and occasional ly by just the last name.
中西方饮食文化差异(英文版)演讲稿
Next, I will talk about the Differences between Chinese and Western diet Culture. First, Chinese use chopsticks and soup spoons. We use the bowls as the container of rice. While the Western use knifves and folks.They use plates as containers of food and eat food as soon as they cut them.Second, We have different eating habits. Chinese have a saying “Good things for breakfast. Eating a big meal for lunch but eating less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner.Since the differences between Chinese and western philosophy, the concept of diet is quite different. People in western countries pay much attention on the nutrients. They care about how many calories, vitamins and protein should be taken. Even when the taste is the same, it must be eaten because of the nutrition.On the contrary, Chinese cares more about food color, smell, taste, and shape.For table manners,Chinese people prefer to toast each other and urge others to drink more in a lively atmosphere. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can enjoy a good meal. If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.Finally, let’s talk about two details of the differences. First of all, the making method of Chinese food is different from Western-style food. In a Western-style food cookbook, various ingredients have been indicated several grams, several spoons or several cups, even the size of the egg will all be explained. I think it is like doing experiments in the laboratory. So, Making Western-style food is easy, so long as you cook according to the cookbook manual. But it is not an easy thing that you want to make fine Chinese food. Even if you have bought the cookbook. Because the Chinese cookbook will not tell you several grams of ingredient, for example salt, Chinese cookbook just tell you appropriate amount of salt. Why? Because the taste of people who live in different places is diff erent in China. There is a folk adage in China “south sweet, north salty, east hot and west sour”. So, a good cook ing relies on experience and skills when cooks in China.The way that Chinese and occidental praise food is different. When praising food Chi nese will generally say: “Your dish is cooked excellently, It has caught up with the level of the restaurant”; but occidental will say it just like what the home make. Then welcome my partner Zhao Bing to tell you the causes of the differences and make a conclusion.。
