Week 3 discussion question:What is your favorite type of food and favorite dishes? Please explain why?

My favorite food is Cheese.I don’t know what makes cheese so yummy,but it really is isn’t it?Everything is better with cheese.Cheese is the one food that you can have for breakfast,lunch,dinner,as a snack and even for dessert.
Simply put,cheese is a comfort food.Cheese has a richness and taste that few foods can match.While pasta might fill you up,adding cheese ups the ante and makes it a scrumptious,flavour rich delight.Add cheese to what would otherwise be a boring custard dish and you get a decadent cheesecake. Add cheese,add some heat and as a topping nothing can match the physical properties of cheese with its gooey and chewy perfection.There’s a cheese to match every taste bud from mild to sharp, from sweet to salty and from nutty to pungent. And cheese is so versatile coming in almost liquid forms to soft and to hard forms, making it one of the most go to ingredient for cooks everywhere.This is why I love cheese.

Week 2 discussion question: "What values or principles did your parents teach you that you believe are very important?"

The values or principles that my parents always tell me is to speak the truth.That's because it is the first step that will take me to success. If I tell a lie, I will have to tell that lie in every walk of life, so it would be good for me to speak the truth from the beginning. They also tell me to be honest with everyone and in everything I do. I may feel difficulties in the present, but this is the road to success in the future. Another value that they tell me is to respect my elders and to love those who are younger. By respecting the elders, I will get prayers from them and by giving love to those who are younger, I will feel an internal peace.
We should obey our parents because they are older and have a lot more experience.

week1 discussion_what is your favorite holiday?and why?

My favorite holiday is Chinese New Year.That's because all the members in my family will gather together for a big reunion.We always enjoy a big meal on the new year’s Eve.We talk a lot of things,such as:NBA and video games with each other,too. During the holidays,we often visit some relatives and good friends who we have not seen for a long time.Sometimes I take advantage of the continuous holidays to take a trip overseas with my family,and I always have a good time and a pleasant memory of experiencing the culture and appreciating many beautiful sceneries with my family.If I were at home,I could even sleep the whole day and take a complete rest during the holidays.
Those are the reasons that I like Chinese New Year the most.
