The event will take place on 17 March. Please make a note of the date. Our aim is to introduce you to food from around the world, and also to get you interested in cooking. We'll have cooking classes which will teach you how to make different food, for example, chicken soup. Let me know if there are any dishes you particularly want to learn how to cook, and I'll see if we can add them to the programme. Each class will set up food stands where you can present different kinds of food for students to try. You can come up with an interesting theme and make some food according to your theme. For example, if your chosen theme is “Desserts”, you can prepare puddings, cupcakes and so on. Remember to decorate your food stands and bring delicious food to attract as many people as possible!

As far as clear and concise language is concerned, it is necessary to describe things precisely. Imagery is used to make things seem real and remarkable. The use of the five senses creates the imagery, or a mental picture for each reader.

What is the function of descriptive writing
A descriptive writing presents a person, place or thing, in a way that readers feel as if it is in front of their eyes, or that they are tasting it, or that they can hear it, or that they can smell it. Writers use sensory information to describe an object to present a picture of something as honestly as he can.
描述性写作以一种读者感觉仿佛就在眼前、品尝到它、听到它、闻到它的方式来呈现一个人、一个地方或一件事。作家们使用感官信息来描述一个物体,尽可能真实地呈现出一幅画面。

When she places them on the table, they look adorable-small, round and shiny golden-brown. The delicious smell soon reaches my nose and my mouth starts to water. When I pick up a mooncake, it feels warm and heavy in my hand. As I take each bite, the sweet and mild flavour of the red bean filling slowly fills my mouth.
Example 1
There are three layers of the cake and the cheese is between the layers, making the dessert feel soft and smooth. There is also a bitter taste of coffee but this flavour is not very strong. Tiramisu does not look very attractive-it’s brown, because of the coffee and dark chocolate, and white, because of the cream and cheese-but all these ingredients make it taste delicious!

Sentence patterns to describe food
Stinky tofu (臭豆腐): once you start, you’ll never stop!
Of all the different ways of cooking tofu (also known as bean curd), my favourite is stinky tofu.
Throughout China there are a number of different versions of stinky tofu: some are fried golden brown while others are blackish blue. Of all versions of stinky tofu, the Nanjing style and Changsha style are the most famous. I first tried stinky tofu at a street market with my grandpa when I was very little.
As the name suggests, the smell is terrible but surprisingly, the taste is actually quite mild — it tastes like fried tofu with less of the bean flavour and more of a slight sweetness. The sauce makes it taste even more delicious. A big part of the experience is how it feels in your mouth: deep-fried stinky tofu is firm on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside. Ever since my first taste of stinky tofu, I have always wanted to try more. Now I can tell the differences between various versions of stinky tofu and I like all of them because of their unique flavours as well as their unique smells!
My favourite food is dumplings. With a variety of fillings ranging from all sorts of meat and vegetables to seafood, dumplings taste fresh and delicious. The shapes of dumplings can be different, usually meniscus or angular. Nowadays they are even made into flowers, birds, fish, more like arts and crafts than pure food.
A sample for appreciation
新月形
棱角状的
It has been a tradition for my family to make and eat dumplings on the Eve of Chinese New Year in my memory, when everyone was involved and laughter lingered in the room. Mom prepared the dough and fillings, and others occupied themselves in making their unique dumplings. The most exciting moment was boiling dumplings and waiting for the first bites. My mouth began watering the minute I saw a plate of hot dumplings in front of me. With dipping sauce, the sour flavour of vinegar combined with refreshing fillings slowly filled my mouth. Dumplings are always my favourite because of its satisfying taste that is out of this world and the happy memories it brings to mind.
