A3 Discuss the following questions.
1. What foods can remind you of your happy memories Describe the memories they recall.
For me, childhood is inseparably connected with the taste of tanghulu, a snack of sugar-coated hawthorn berries on a bamboo stick. My dad used to bring me all sorts of snack when he came back home from work, but tanghulu is by far my favourite. Even now, the mere taste of this treat recalls the warmth of his bear hugs. Whenever I miss home, I treat myself to a stick of tanghulu. It’s my secret cure for homesickness and it works every time.
2. In your opinion, is there any difference between one’s comfort food and favourite food Give your reasons.
I think people’s favourite food and comfort food are different in two ways. First, people’s favourite food can come and go, while their comfort food often remains the same.

Work in pairs to discuss the following questions.
1. What is the author’s purpose for writing this article
2. What other functions does food have
1. What is the author’s purpose for writing this article
The author wants to pint out that food is not only useful for keeping us alive and healthy, but in the form of comfort food, it also benefits us emotionally by lifting our spirits and soothing our soul.
2. What other functions does food have
Food is a big part of our history and culture. For example, zongzi reminds us of the historical story of Qu Yuan, which has been passed down through generations. The food we eat also teaches us more about the important values in our culture. We eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival, and have mooncakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival, which represents the joint family values we share.
There is an English saying, “You are what you eat.”
What’s your understanding of the saying
The food we eat impacts our health directly. If we eat healthy food, we will be healthy, and we will be unhealthy if we constantly eat processed foods like junk food. Our food choices are often reflected in how we look too—our skin may not be clear or we may become overweight if we eat unhealthily, so eating freshly prepared local and seasonal foods are better for keeping us healthy and looking good.
