I’m a freshman at Peking University and I’m majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I’m getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.H i, my name is Virginia Wang. I’m a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent to English to get a good job.I’ve been studying English since high school. I’m good atreading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it rally difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Exercise 1: b dExercise 2: 1)Yang 2)Chemistry 3)Likes listening to English programs on radio & TV; enjoys English pop songs 4) several years ago 5) listening; speaking6) Wang 7) Library science 8) To get a good job 9) in high school 10) reading; writingDialogue 11) may I sit here? 2) Sure. 3) Nice day 4) warm and sunny 5) computerDialogue 21) About four years 2) Very much 3) it’s very usefulDialogue 31) Listening 2) I find listening rather difficult 3) listen to this tape4) Perhaps I shouldPart C1)skills 2)worry 3)focus 4)feel 5)understood 6)carefully 7)problems8)understand 9)main 10)detailsUnit 2Part A1.Closing2.Opening3.Closing4.Opening5.Opening6.Opening1-5 a b b a b 6-10.a b a b bPart BTapescript How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as theweather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather –It sure is cold today, isn’t it?News – Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well, I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Exercise 1: 1. b c a 2. DExercise 2: 1. a. age b. money c. people’s appearance2. a. say that again? I didn’t catch it. b. speak more slowly, please3. a. really need to be going b. nice talking to you.Dialogue 11. do you have a minute?2. What can I do for you3. several4.

That guy who won the first prize speaks really fluent English. I do admire him.5. Me, too.6. I have an appointment with the dean.Part CTapescript Smile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is verygood.Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in England want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to remember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facialexpressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’re right. The frowning students.The specialist do n’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Exercise:1. If one can answer all the four questions, his memory is thought to be good. (I hear it.)2. The smiling student could remember more happy articles than the frowning students. (I hear it.)3. Education specialist from England haven’t found the best way to help people improve reading abilities. (I can not infer it.)4. The specialists are trying to explain the reason why facial expressions can help memory (I can infer it.)5. According to the speaker, facial expressions might affect a person’s memory. (I can infer it.)6. In the second group five students who read the angry letter while smiling remembered less.

But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow’s classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about theimportance of the college experience.Exercise: 1. A busy life. 2. Between six and fifteen hours.3.They must remain current in their fields.4. They will revise and update them.Unit 4Part A1. 1) Yeah 2) By the way 3) Who 4) Don’t you think so? 5) Yes 6) Quite well2. 1) Like what2) Yeah 3) Hmm, let me think 4) Well 5) Come to think of it1. 923812. 26083. 15404. 755. 1566. 9007. 84,2008. 1,7359. 9:40 10.5:45Part BTapescript Small Talk Is EasyA: Mike, guess what?B: What?A: Carol just invited me to a party at her house on Saturday.B: Carol? You mean the pretty girl in your economics class?A: Yeah.B: Great! I’m sure you’ll have a super time.A: I’m not so sure.B: What do you mean, John? I though you really liked Carol.A: I do. But I don't know her friends very well.B: So get to know them.A: But I’m no good at small talk.B: Small talk is easy. You can learn.A: By Friday?B: sure, I’ll coach you. You just have to remember a few simple sentences.A: I don't know. I have trouble remembering things. Especially when I meet people. I get nervous.B: Don’t worry, John. You can do it. You just need a few tips.A: But what if I say something stupid?B: Hey, you’re not giving a speech. You’re just having a conversation. So just talk about something you know they are interested in.A: That’s the problem. I don’t know what Carol’s friends are interested in.B: Let them tell you. If you let people talk about themselves, they’ll think you’re interesting.A: You mean something like, “So, tell me what you’re interested in.”B: Well, you don’t have to be that direct. For example, you can talk about the weather.A: You can’t be serious. The weather’s b oring.B: It’s a good excuse to find out what they like to do. On a rainy day, you say, “What do you do in such terrible weather?”A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good. Ask if they liked it and why. Then talk about a book you really liked.A: So that’s what small talk is about, is it? Well, I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike.B: You’re welcome. Have a good time at the party.Note:Small talk means light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing. In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at ease.Exercise 1: c a dExercise 2: 1. At Carol’s house on Saturday 2.

ThanksPart CTapescript Defective GoodsThe other day, Mrs. White bought some bed linen at a small store near her home. The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped there before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was shocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly stained. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and the two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selling the defective goods right away.The storekeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladies’ purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.Unit 7Part B: We Have an Opening NowMs. Campbell: Have a seat, Mr. Wells.

The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He’d had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehouse where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred’s job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had onlywalked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred’s hands and shattered into a thousand pieces.Fred was called immediately to the manager’s office, and he was sure he would be fired. The young man’s spirits began to drop.“I’ll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for,” the manager said sternly.“How much is the vase worth?” Fred asked.“$350”A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. “That’s wonderful!” he shouted happily. “At last I have a steady job!”Exercise 1: c b cExercise 2: 1. he was clumsy and spoiled everything he did.1.

He works on some of the busiest Motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25.There are traffic police on duty twenty-four hours a day. There are three shifts, and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three to four accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job:“We deal with anyone in the accident who is injured. That’s the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again.”“Most accidents happen because people drive too fast—especially when the roads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers don’t follow the rules. For example, I’ve seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking on the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go into the fast lane on the right.”“Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that。

[A] Jack White, the former fron tma n of the White Stripes and an in flue ntial figure amongfellowmusicia ns, likes to make things difficult for himself. He uses cheap guitars that won't stay in shape orin tune. Whenperforming, he positions his instruments in a way that is deliberatelyinconvenient, sothat switching from guitar to organ mid-song involves a mad dash across the stage. Why? Becausehe's on the run from what he describes as a disease that preys on every artist:"ease of use". Whenmaking music gets too easy, says White, it becomes harder to make it sing.[B] It's an odd thought. Why would anyone make their work more difficult tha n it already is?Yet wek now that difficulty can pay un expected divide nds. In 1966, soon after the Beatles hadfini shed work on "Rubber Soul", Paul McCart ney looked into the possibility of going to Americato record their next album. The equipme nt in America n studios was more adva need tha n anything inBritai n, whichhad led the Beatles' great rivals, the Rolli ng Ston es, tomake their latest album, "Aftermath", in LosAngeles. McCartney found that EMI's （ 百代唱片）contractual clauses made itprohibitively expe nsiveto follow suit, and the Beatles had to make do with the primitivetech no logy of Abbey Road.[C] Lucky for us. Over the n ext two years they made their most groun dbreak ing work, turning therecord ing studio into a magical in strume nt of its own. Precisely because they were worki ng with oldofashi oned mach in es, George Martin and his team of engin eers were forced to apply every ounce oftheir creativity to solve the problems posed to them by Lennon and McCart ney. Songs like"Tomorrow Never Kno ws", " Strawberry Fields Forever", and "A Day in the Life" featuredrevoluti onary sound effects that dazzled and mystified Martin's America n coun terparts.[D] Sometimes it's only when a difficulty is removed that we realise what it was doing for us.For moretha n two decades, start ing in the 1960s, the poet Ted Hughes sat on the judgi ng panelof an annualpoetry competition for British schoolchildren. During the 1980s he noticed anin creas ing nu mber oflong poems among the submissi ons, with some running to 70 or 80 pages. These poems were verbally inven tive and flue nt, but also "stra ngely bori ng". After making inq uiriesHughes discovered that theywere being composed on computers, the n just finding their way into British homes.

Advis ing non-En glish-speak ing families to speak only En glish isA. asset I Sectio n B[E] You might have thought any tool which en ables a writer to get words on to the page would bean adva ntage. But there may be a cost to such facility. Ifi an in terview with the Paris ReviewHughesspeculated that when a person puts pen to paper, "you meet the terrible resistance of what happenedyour first year at it, when you could n't write at all". As the brain attempts to force the un steady han dto do its biddi ng, the tension betwee n the two results in a more compressed, psychologically den serexpressi on. Remove that resista nce and you are more likely to produce a 70-page ramble （不找边际的长篇大论）.[F] Our brains respond better to difficulty than we imagine. In schools, teachers and pupils alike ofte nassume that if a con cept has bee n easy to learn, the n the less on has bee n successful. Butnumerousstudies have now found that when classroom material is made harder to absorb, pupils retain more of it over the long term, and un dersta nd it on a deeper level.[G] As a poet, Ted Hughes had an acute sensitivity to the way in which constraints onself-expression,like the disciplines of metre and rhyme （韵律）,spur creative thought. Whatapplies to poets an dmusicia ns also applies to our daily lives. We tend to equate （等同）happ in ess with freedom, but, asthe psychotherapist and writer AdamPhillips has observed, without obstacles to our desiresit'sharder to know what we want, or where we're heading. He tells the story ofa patient, a first-timemother who complained that her young son was always clinging to her, wrapping himself around herlegs wherever she went. She n ever had a mome nt to herself, she said, because her son was "always in the way". When Phillips asked her where she would go if he was n't in the way, she repliedcheerfully, "Oh, I would n't know where I was!"[H] Take ano ther com mon obstacle: lack of mon ey. People ofte n assume that more money will makethem happier. But econo mists who study the relatio nship betwee n money and happ in ess havec on siste ntlyfound that, above a certa in in come, the two do not reliably correlate. Despite the easewith which the rich can acquire almost anything they desire, they are just as likely to be un happy asthe middle classes. In this regard at least, F. Scott Fitzgerald was wrong.[I] In deed, ease of acquisiti on is the problem. The no velist Edward St Aub yn has a n arrator remark ofthe very rich that, "not havi ng to con sider affordability, their desires rambled on likeunstoppablebores, relentless （持续不断的）and whimsical （反复无常的）at the same time. " WhenBost on College, a private research uni versity, wan ted a better feel for its pote ntial dono rs, itasked thepsychologist Robert Kenny to investigate the mindset of the super-rich. He surveyed 165 households,most of which had a net worth of $ 25m or more. He found that many of his subjects were confusedby the infinite options their money presented them with. They found it hard to know what to want,creating a kind of existential bafflement. One of them put it like this: "You know,Bob, you can justbuy so much stuff, and whe n you get to the point where you can just buy so much stuff, now what are you going to do?"[J] The Internet makes in formati on billi on aires out of all of us, and the architects of ouronlineexperiences are catching on to the need to make things creatively difficult. Twitter's hugesuccess isrooted in the simple but profo und in sight that i n a medium'with infin ite space for serf-expressi on, themost in teresti ng thi ng we can do is restrict ourselves to 140 characters.The music service This Is MyJamhelps people navigate the tens of millions of tracks now available instantly via Spotify andiTunes. Users pick their favourite song of the week to share with others. They only get to choose one. The service was only laun ched this year,,but by the end of September 650,000 jams had beenchosen. Its cofounder Matt Ogle explains its raison d'etre （存在的理由）like this: "In an age ofendless choice, we were missing a way to say: This. This is the one you should listen to'."[K] Today's world offers more opport unity tha n ever to follow the advice of the Walker Brothers and make it easy on ourselves. Compared with a hundred years ago, our lives are less tightlybound bysocial norms and physics! Con stra in ts. Tech no logy has cut out much of life's don keywork, and wehave more freedoms tha n ever: we can wear what we like and com muni cate with hun dreds of frien dsat once at the click of a mouse. Obstacles are everywhere disappeari ng. Few of us wish to tur n theclock back, but perhaps we n eed to remind ourselves how useful the right obstacles can be.Sometimes, the best route to fulfilme nt is the path of more resista nee.46. The rigorous requirements placed on the writing of poetry stimulate the poet's creativity.47. With creativity, even old-fashi oned in strume nts may produce spectacular sound effects.48. More money does not n ecessarily bring greater happ in ess.49. It is a false assumpti on that less ons should be made easier to lear n.50. Obstacles deliberately placed in the creati on of music con tribute to its success.51. Those who enjoy total freedom may not find themselves happy.52. Ted Hughes discovered many long poems submitted for poetry competiti on were composed on computers.53. Maybe we n eed to bear in mi nd that the right obstacles help lead us to greater achieveme nts.54. An investigation found that many of the super-rich were baffled by the infinite choices their money made available.55. One free social networking website ttwned out to be successful because it limited each posting to one hun dred and forty characters.Sectio n CDirections: There are 2 passages in this sect ion. Each passage is followed by some questi ons orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A , B, C andD ）. You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the cen tre. Passage OneQuesti ons 56 to 60 are based on the follow ing passage.There was a time not long ago when new science Ph. D. s in the United States were expected topursue a career path in academ/a （学术界）.But today, most graduates end up working outsideacademia, not only in in dustry but also in careers such as scie nce policy, com muni cati ons, and pate ntlaw. partly this is a result of how bleak the academic job market is, but there's also a rising aware ness ofcareer opti ons that Ph.D. scie ntists have n't trained for directly ——but forwhich they have usefulknowledge, skills, and experience. Still, there's a huge disconnect between the way we currently trainscientists and the actual employment opportunities available for them,and an urge nt n eed for dramaticimproveme nts in training programs to help close the gap, One critical step that could help to drive changewould be to require Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scientiststo follow an in dividual developme nt pla n（IDP）.In 2002, the U. S. Federati on of America n Societies for Experime ntal Biology recomme ndedthat everypostdoctoral researcher put together an IDP in consultation with an adviser. Since then, several academic in stituti ons have beg un to require IDPs for postdocs. And in June, the U. S.Nati onal In stitutes of Health(NIH) Biomedical Research Workforce Worki ng Group recomme nded thatthe NIH require IDPs for theapproximately 32,000 postdoctoral researchers they support. Other funding age ncies, public and private,are moving in a similar directi on.IDPs have long bee n used by gover nment age ncies and the private sector to achieve specific goals forthe employee and the orga ni zati on. The aim is to en sure that employees have an explicit tool to help themunderstand their own abilities and aspirations, determine career possibilities , and set ( usually short-term)goals. In scie nee, graduate stude nts and new Ph.D. scie ntists can use an IDP to ide ntify and n avigate an effective career path.A free Web applicati on for this purpose, called myIDP, has become available this week. It'sdesig ned to guide early-career scie ntists through a con fide ntial,,rigorous process ofin trospect ion ( 内省)to create acustomized career pla n. Guided by expert kno wledge from a panelof science-focused career advisers,each trainee's self-assessment is used to rank a set of career trajectories ( 轨迹).After the user hasidentified a Iong-term career goal, myIDP walks her or him through the process of sett ing short-term goalsdirected toward accumulat ing new skills and experie nces importa nt for that career choice.Although surveys reveal the IDP process to be useful, trainees report a need for additional resourcesto help them identify a Iong-term career path and complete an IDP.

The man was really good at fishing and he could catch a full basket of fish in a short time. The man saw that the boy was very cute, and he wanted to give him a whole basket of fish, but the boy shook his head. The man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?”The boy replied, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”The man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”“I will eat up all the fish in the basket soon, but if I have the fishing rod, I can use it to catch a lot of fish by myself.”Many people will certainly say that the boy is very smart…Wrong! If he doesn’t know fishing skills, he cannot catch fish with a fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod; fishing skills are more important than having a fishing rod.Many people want to have a “fishing rod” in their lives. They are just like the boy.

关于推荐一种食物作为非遗的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite Food Deserves to be Protected Cultural HeritageHi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about something very important to me - my favorite food. But this isn't just any food. It's a special dish that has been made in my family for generations and generations. I think it's so amazing that it deserves to be protected and celebrated as an intangible cultural heritage!What exactly is intangible cultural heritage? Well, it refers to traditions or living expressions that have been passed down from our ancestors. Things like oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, and knowledge about nature and the universe. Basically, it's all the really cool stuff that makes up our shared culture and identity.The food I'm talking about definitely fits into that category of intangible cultural heritage. It's called chongouding, which literally means "double fat explosion" in my family's dialect. Iknow the name doesn't sound too appetizing, but trust me, this dish is out of this world delicious!Chongouding is a traditional pastry from the region my grandparents are from. The main ingredients are glutinous rice flour, brown sugar, sesame seeds, and lard. Yes, you heard that right - lard! That's what gives it such an amazing rich flavor and flaky texture.The process of making chongouding is like an ancient ritual that has been followed precisely for centuries. First, the lard has to be rendered and clarified just the right way. Then the dough is made by combining the rice flour with lard and a bit of hot water. It gets kneaded together until it's nice and smooth.After that, the fun part begins! The dough gets rolled out into a huge circle, kind of like a giant flat pie crust. Different sections get brushed with lard or egg wash. Brown sugar and sesame seeds get sprinkled on top in cool patterns. Then the whole thing gets rolled up from the outside in into a giant spiral log.The log gets sliced up into individual spiral buns and arranged in a special pan. As the buns bake, they expand and layer upon layer of flaky dough gets exposed with crispy edges.The centers stay pillowy soft with pockets of melty brown sugar. Oh man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!My grandma is the master of making chongouding. She learned the recipe and techniques from her own grandma when she was a little girl. Every year for the Lunar New Year and other big holidays, the whole family gathers in the kitchen to help make batch after batch of these amazing pastries. The air gets filled with the smells of toasted sesame and caramelized sugar - it's heavenly!As we're making the chongouding, my grandma always tells stories about her childhood and recounts traditions from way back when. She reminds us how important it is to keep our heritage alive by passing down recipes and practices like this. Spending that special time together making our family's signature dish is one of my most cherished memories.Chongouding isn't just random delicious pastry - it truly represents who we are as a family and as a people. The ingredients, methods, and dishes themselves carry so much culture, history and personal meaning. If this amazing tradition was lost, it would be like a little piece of our identity disappearing.That's why I strongly believe chongouding deserves to be recognized and protected as an intangible cultural heritage item. So few people outside of our small region even know this dish exists. By having it officially designated as cultural heritage, it would help raise awareness and ensure it gets passed along for many more generations.Intangible heritage isn't just about amazing ancient monuments or old artifacts. It's the living, breathing traditions that get shared from person to person over time. Recipes, dances, stories, celebrations - that's the good stuff that makes every culture unique and special. We've got to protect that!I may be just a kid, but I understand how important it is to keep our intangible cultural heritage from disappearing. Chongouding isn't just a pastry, it's a piece of living history. The day it's gone is the day we lose a little part of who we are.So I encourage everyone to look at your own backgrounds and see what unique traditions you can help safeguard. Whether it's a special dish like chongouding, handcrafts, music, or anywhere, find what's meaningful and keep it alive. Our cultures, our stories, our very identities depend on it.Preserving traditions like my family's prized chongouding recipe ensures that incredible knowledge and skills get carriedinto the future. By working together, we can make the treasures of the past become the pride of the present. Let's make sure stuff as awesome as chongouding never gets lost!篇2My Favorite Grandma's Dumplings Should Be An Intangible Cultural Heritage!Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I go to Oakdale Elementary School and I'm in the 4th grade. Today I want to tell you all about my favorite food in the whole wide world - my grandma's homemade dumplings! They are so delicious that I think they should be protected and celebrated as an intangible cultural heritage. Let me explain why.First of all, my grandma's dumplings are made using a really old recipe that has been passed down in my family for generations and generations, maybe even hundreds of years! The recipe originated in a small village in northern China where my great-great-great-grandparents lived. Back then, the villagers were very poor farmers who could only afford basic ingredients like flour, cabbage, and a little pork or beef. But they created this amazingly tasty dumpling recipe that made the simple ingredients taste like heaven.My grandma learned the recipe from her grandma when she was a little girl. She had to practice making the dumplings over and over until they were perfect. The most important steps are making the dough, chopping the filling ingredients into a fine mince, wrapping the filling in the dough wrappers, and then cooking the dumplings just right. It takes skill, patience and lots of love!The dumpling dough has to be rolled out super thin, but not too thin that it breaks. The filling is made by finely chopping napa cabbage, Chinese chives, pieces of pork or beef, fresh ginger, garlic and adding just the right amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, and other seasonings. The filling is so flavorful! Then you put a spoonful of the filling onto a little circle of dough and expertly fold and pinch the edges to create a beautiful bright dumpling shape. The dumplings get steamed in a special bamboo steamer until they are ready to eat.When you bite into one of my grandma's perfect dumplings, the outer dough is soft yet has a slight chewiness and the filling is incredibly juicy and bursting with flavors. The secret is getting the right ratio of ingredients and seasonings in the filling. It has to be not too salty, yet flavorful enough. The napa cabbage has to be chopped fine enough to blend with the meat, chives andseasonings. Grandma says the spirit and love you put into making the dumplings is just as important as the ingredients!My grandma's dumplings look deceptively simple, but they are true labors of love and masterpieces of flavor. That's why I think they deserve to be recognized and protected as an important cultural heritage. The recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, keeping the tradition alive. I am learning how to make the dumplings from watching my grandma, just like she learned from her grandma. One day I will teach my own children this amazing recipe and skill.Protecting grandma's dumplings as a cultural heritage means the traditions and knowledge will be preserved forever. It ensures recipes like this won't get lost or forgotten as times and cultures change. The recipe and techniques have been perfected over many, many years. They represent the culinary traditions, resourcefulness, and wisdom of our ancestors. Dumplings brought families together for countless holiday and celebration meals throughout history. They tell the story of our culture and where we came from as a people.Besides being delicious, making grandma's dumplings from scratch is an amazing cultural experience! From shopping for the freshest seasonal ingredients at the farmer's market, to choppingand preparing the filling, to carefully folding and shaping each little dumpling, you feel connected to the past. You experience the same sights, smells, and motions as generations of dumpling makers before you. It's like the traditions and spirit of your ancestors come alive when making grandma's dumplings!My grandma always tells me "These dumplings carry the wisdom and heritage of our people. Someday when you make them for your own family, you will be passing down that heritage." She says the dumplings represent the virtuousness, skill and resourcefulness of the hardworking Chinese people who could turn a few simple ingredients into an amazing culinary treat through creativity and mastering techniques over time. I feel so proud knowing I come from a lineage of people who created something so wonderful out of so little.On New Year's Day and other special occasions, the whole family gathers at my grandma's house to make dumplings together. It's so much fun! Grandma puts her classic Chinese music on and we all sing along as we chop, roll, stuff, and crimp dumplings side by side for hours. We carry on the traditions and make enough dumplings for an amazing family feast. After the dumplings are cooked, we all say a traditional dumpling making poem or blessing together before eating. Then we taste that first篇3My Favorite Food: Why Grandma's Apple Pie Should Be Intangible Cultural HeritageHi, my name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I love lots of different foods, but my very favorite is my grandma's homemade apple pie. I think it should be protected and celebrated as an important part of our culture's intangible heritage. Let me tell you why!First of all, grandma's apple pie is absolutely delicious. The crust is perfectly flaky and buttery, but not too rich. The apples inside are tender and sweet, with just the right amount of cinnamon spice. The whole thing is gently warmed, making the flavors blend together into something magical. Whenever I take a bite, it feels like I'm being wrapped up in a big, warm hug. No store-bought pie can even come close!But grandma's apple pie is more than just a tasty treat. It's also a cherished family tradition going back many generations. Grandma learned the recipe from her own grandmother, who came to America from Ireland as a young girl over a hundred years ago. She carried that recipe for her favorite Irish apple pieall the way across the ocean to start a new life. It has been lovingly passed down from mother to daughter ever since.Grandma's pie represents our family's journey and our immigrant roots. It connects us to our ancestors and their experiences, struggles, and joys. Whenever that wonderful aroma fills the kitchen, I feel like part of something bigger - part of a long chain of strong women who worked hard, followed their dreams, and kept this delicious tradition alive through good times and bad.Making the pie is also an important ritual that brings our whole family together a few times each year. A few days before any major holiday, the ladies of the family gather at grandma's house for an all-day "pie-making party." We spend hours peeling bushels of apples, rolling out the dough, and assembling the pies together side-by-side. Grandma shows the younger kids how to flute the edges and lattice the top crust. We sing songs, tell stories, and soak up grandma's wisdom as we prepare this labor of love.Those pie-making days are some of my happiest childhood memories. I loved watching grandma's wizened hands work the dough with practiced skill. Her kitchen always smelled like cinnamon, apples, and unconditional love. Best of all, I got to feellike an important part of this special legacy. Someday I'll teach my own kids and grandkids this same recipe and tradition.Speaking of tradition, each part of the pie-making process stems from grandma's cultural heritage. The recipe uses a vintage wooden bowl, bowl scraper, and rolling pin that grandma's mother brought from the old country. We core the apples with an antique corer/slicer tool that has been in our family for over 150 years. Even how we assemble the latticework top follows techniques passed down through the generations.All of these tools and methods connect the pie to our family's cherished cultural identity. They are living connections to the foods, customs, and experiences of our ancestors. If we lost these traditional practices, we would lose a precious part of who we are and where we came from.Beyond the personal meaning for my family, grandma's apple pie recipe is also an important piece of widerIrish-American cultural heritage. When our ancestors immigrated here, they had to work hard to earn a place in society while still honoring where they came from. Recipes and foodways provided an important means of maintaining their unique ethnic identity and values.Many households continued baking cultural foods like Irish apple pies, soda breads, and bacon and cabbage to pass those traditions to future generations. These humble but meaningful food traditions helped our ancestors to feel at home while embracing their new lives as Americans. They allowed people to celebrate their roots while also integrating into the melting pot of the US's diverse society.Today, grandma's apple pie remains a powerful symbol of how Irish-American families forged their own uniqueethnic-American identity out of two rich cultural heritages. It exemplifies how they merged cherished old traditions with new opportunities and experiences in their adopted homeland. In that sense, iconic cultural foods like grandma's pie tell the story of how America's diverse nation was built through generations of brave immigrants seeking better lives.My grandma's Irish apple pie recipe also deserves heritage recognition because it is a shining example of how food traditions get passed down through families and communities, especially among women. For centuries, women have taken the lead in keeping foodways alive and sharing them with future generations. Culinary knowledge has long been one of the key ways cultures have been preserved and handed down.Whenever grandma teaches us the apple pie recipe, she isn't just showing us how to follow a set of instructions. She's sharing invaluable cultural knowledge, stories, and values embedded in every step - things that aren't written down but can only be experienced by watching, listening, and doing alongside her. This kind of informal learning from elders is how most cultural traditions live on.Foods like grandma's pie also develop deep symbolic meaning and emotional resonance that goes beyond just following a recipe. As we enjoy generations-old homemade foods prepared with love, we absorb subtle wisdoms about our heritage, family bonds, and sense of self. In grandma's kitchen, I'm not just learning baking skills - I'm connecting with my identity and place in the world.If we don't take steps to safeguard treasured recipes like grandma's Irish apple pie, we could lose that irreplaceable intangible cultural heritage forever. We have to ensure these special traditions get passed along to future generations before elder knowledge holders are gone. Once that embodied cultural wisdom disappears, it can never be fully recreated.That's why I believe grandma's amazing apple pie, and other iconic cultural foodways like it, deserve to be protected andpromoted as important examples of intangible cultural heritage. They represent the diverse cultural identities, histories, and experiences that make up the rich tapestry of America. They honor the struggles, resilience, and traditions of our ancestors who made this nation. And they provide powerful vessels for sharing folk knowledge, values, and meaning across generations.Every time we gather to bake one of grandma's pies using her mother's old tools and methods, we aren't just making a tasty dessert. We're celebrating our family's hard-won place in this country. We're connecting with the ideals, customs, and stories that have sustained Irish-Americans through thick and thin. We're linking arms with our ancestors and embodying the shared hopes, labors, and dreams that went into building the incredible multicultural nation we all call home.Please help me ensure that amazing culinary traditions like grandma's Irish apple pie get the recognition and safeguarding they deserve. Icon foods like this one should be honored as irreplaceable intangible cultural heritage for today's families as well as future generations. Let's protect these delicious, meaningful pieces of living cultural identity, memory, and pride forever.。

再容易迷路，也迷不了曼哈顿；要迷，就迷在中央公园吧。
Some brains are wired without a homing program. But Manhattan is where you'd actually find it hard to get lost, even if you suffer from this handicap. In Central Park, however, people like you would have a field day, getting lost...
所谓迷路，并不是真正意义的迷路；是走岔路的意思。
譬如从西门进（据说离我最近的是西门），从东门出，行军一半，水文地理全变样了。
只能继续往下走，直至某个岔路口，瞥见街景，极不情愿地紧着边门溜出去。
Well, not so much your average frustrating, possibly recurrent, oh-shit kind of getting lost as stepping onto a "wrong" path in an inexplicable woozy moment of suspended awareness and logic. Picture this: I go in by the western entrance, which is said to be the nearest to where I live, and go out on the opposite side. Half way through my brave, even reckless expedition (given the fact that I lose my bearings as readily as I lose my metro cards), the terrain and water features look nothing like what my visual memory has captured. No matter, I soldier on... until I come to a fork and catch a glimpse of the street that I know I should use to get to where I should be in, say, 20 minutes. Defeated by circumstances, I succumb to reason and, with tragic reluctance, slink through a side entrance. Or shall I say side exit?
然而，倘若不是赶时间，大可毫不犹豫地迷下去。
新景子，激发新奇感，挑起征服欲。
往前，再往前，撇开阳关大道，拐进旁门左道，落叶凋零，景致凋敝；有山有水就是没有人，连鸟儿也不见踪影，惟鼠群相伴也。
心里非但不害怕，反倒暗自称赞这偶然必然的匠心独运。
正想探一究竟，前方已是柳暗花明。
转身回首，丛林探险，竟似黄粱一梦。
If, however, I am not pressed for time, I would not hesitate to continue pampering myself with the luxury of getting lost. A change of scene creates a novelty and tickles my urge to conquer. Keep going, on and on. No, not the well-trodden trails. Why not this sideways way by the wayside? Here the leaves are withered and the scenes wizened. I see rocky highs and watery lows, but in between them, not a soul, human or avian. Keeping me company is a pack of rats. They evoke in me not fear, strangely enough, but a somewhat morbid appreciation for Destiny that brings us into the same time-space with an effortless, but sure hand. I am ready for more little surprises like this when a proverbial park scene appears before my eyes. I look back: the jungle adventure fades into the background, like in a dream.
悻悻而归，次日早起，誓将迷路进行到底。
孰料水涧旁，丛林边，再次迷路，而且是彻头彻底地迷回了阳关大道，别无悬念。
Feeling let down by the anticlimax, I shuffle home. The next day, I get up at the crack of dawn, hell-bent on getting lost again. Sure enough, by the stream and the woods, my wish is fulfilled: I don't know where I am. I'm officially lost! I high-five myself in my head. But my bliss is short-lived. I soon find myself back on the main path, the straight and not so narrow. Alas, my renewed wander has failed to take me to new wonders this time.
路，确是自己走出来的；只是，此路非彼路，彼路是何路？只能去走，想是想不出的。
好在旭日东升，有温暖，有光亮。
无论平坦还是险峻，走一走，又何妨。
I do subscribe to the cliche that we break our own paths, paths in a different sense. What are they, exactly? The answer is not something we can figure out intellectually. We need to get out and keep walking. (Oh no, "Johnnie Walker, Keep Walking" is ringing in my head now...) Thankfully, the sun is rising. It brings warmth and light. Let's get our feet to work, upon the land so wonderfully endowed with ups and downs, flats and crags. It wouldn't hurt, would it?。
