5 Give a presentation as a group. Each of you can focus on one aspect of your city. Include photos if possible.
My city is Wuxi located in Jiangsu Province, to the northwest of Shanghai. Its most famous attraction is Taihu Lake, which is the third of China’s five largest freshwater lakes. Taihu Lake is a beautiful scenic spot, as well as being the cradle of the Wu and Yue cultures. Elegant Suzhou gardens, historic relics of the ancient state of Wu, the Yixing Karst Caves—they can all be found alongside the lake’s bank. There is also a folktale about Taihu Lake: A long time ago, there was a fantastic silver basin with 72 emerald beads in heaven. One day the basin accidentally fell down to the earth. The silver basin turned into the lake, and the 72 emerald beads turned into 72 peaks nearby. Besides the natural beauty of Taihu Lake, there are important historical sites nearby such as the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty. Nowadays, my city keeps attracting many visitors, not only through its gorgeous surroundings, but also through her function as an economic hub and educational centre in Jiangsu Province.

3 What is the most popular dish in your hometown How is it made
In my hometown, Fuzhou, the typical cuisine is often with a mixed sweet and sour taste, like Lychee Meat.
As a major style of Fujian Cuisine, or Min Cuisine, Fuzhou cuisine is popular not only in Fuzhou, but also in areas of central, northern, and eastern Fujian. The history of Fujian Cuisine is quite long. Especially after the Min state was founded in Fuzhou, many people moved to Fujian. The overseas trade also introduced some new seasonings to Fujian dishes.
One of the most popular dishes in my hometown is Lychee Meat. It is made up of deep-fried pork, some vegetables, and red wine lees.
4 Use your notes to write about the food from your hometown. Include a recipe like the one below for your favourite dish.
Sample Writing
Lychee Meat
It was said that Mei Fei, one of Emperor Tang Xuanzong’s favourite concubines, came from Fujian. She often got homesick. So her chef used a special way to cook pork in order to make it look and taste like lychees. This helped to ease her homesickness. Now Lychee Meat has become a well-known dish in Fujian cuisine. It even crossed the sea to America two hundred years ago.
Ingredients
1 pound boneless pork
1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon distilled or rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
4 scallions, white parts only
2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon red wine lees
Cut the pork into large chunks. Coat the pork pieces with cornstarch. Heat the oil in a wok on medium-heat. Put the pork pieces, one by one, in the oil and cook for 3 minutes each. Remove and let dry on paper towel.
Remove the oil and return the wok to the heat. Add the broth, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, red wine lees and scallions. Once the liquid starts to boil, return the pork to the wok and add the sesame oil. Coat the pieces of pork with the sauce and cook for a minute or so. Serve.
几维鸟
几维鸟是一种不会飞的新西兰鸟，新西兰人对此感到非常自豪。这种不寻常的鸟已经成为这个国家的国家象征。新西兰人自己也被世界各地称为“新西兰人”，这是一个他们引以为豪的昵称。这种鸟还借用了它的名字来命名一种小的、棕色的、蛋形的水果，奇异果，尽管在新西兰以外，这种水果的名字经常被缩短为“奇异果”。
猕猴桃
猕猴桃实际上原产于中国，最初是从野外采集用于医药。20世纪初，这种水果从中国传到了新西兰，新西兰的农民开始种植这种水果出售。在二十世纪四十年代，美国人和英国人在战争期间驻扎在新西兰，发现了这种神奇的水果，不久之后，猕猴桃开始出口到英国，后来又出口到美国。当这种水果开始在美国销售时，它得到了“猕猴桃”的绰号，这个绰号很快被缩短为“猕猴桃”。
新西兰人
这个昵称过去是指新西兰，但是在第一次世界大战之后，新西兰人开始被称为“新西兰人”。很大一部分原因是因为有一些新西兰士兵部队在他们的徽章上印有几维鸟的图片。今天，鸟的图片被用在许多新西兰的产品和许多国家运动队的运动服装上。
奇异鸟
奇异鸟是夜间活动的，它们醒来后从地上的巢中出来，只在晚上进食。它是世界上唯一一种鸟，它的鼻孔长在喙的末端。所有其他的 Bircis 都把它们放在嘴上，靠近脸的地方。雌性几维鸟保持着按体型比例产下最大卵的世界纪录。虽然几维鸟只有鸡的大小，但是雌鸟下的蛋几乎和鸵鸟蛋一样大。“几维鸟”这个名字来自毛利语，是对雄性几维鸟在交配季节大声叫喊的模仿。
不幸的是，几维鸟是濒危物种。它受到非本土动物的威胁，如猫和狗，以及丧失其栖息地。几维鸟(当地人)正在尽他们最大的努力拯救几维鸟(鸟类) ，为此目的已经有许多项目到位。事实上，如果新西兰的国家象征消失了，那将是令人悲哀的。
《荆棘鸟》(改编)
科琳 · 麦卡洛
帕迪和孩子们都很喜欢。有时他们连续几天骑马，远离家乡，晚上在广阔的星空下露营。
灰褐色的土地上充满了生机勃勃的袋鼠，成千上万的袋鼠成群结队地在树林中跳跃，轻松地筑起篱笆，它们的优雅、自由和数量令人愉悦; 鸸鹋在草原中央筑巢，像巨人一样在它们的领地边界上行走，对任何奇怪的事物都感到害怕，比马儿跑得还快，远离它们深绿色、足球大小的卵; 白蚁建造生锈的塔楼，就像微型摩天大楼; 巨大的蚂蚁带着凶猛的咬力，涌入河流，把它们埋进地下的洞里。
鸟类的生活是如此丰富多彩，似乎没有尽头的新品种，他们生活在一个或两个，但成千上万: 小绿色和黄色长尾小鹦鹉费过去被称为情侣鸟，但当地人称为虎皮鹦鹉; 猩红色和蓝色的小鹦鹉称为玫瑰; 大浅灰色的鹦鹉与明亮的紫粉色乳房，下翅和头部，称为嘎拉; 和大纯白鸟与厚脸皮黄色梳子称为硫冠凤头鹦鹉。这种叫笑翠鸟的强壮的棕色翠鸟欢快地笑着，或者潜入水中寻找它们最喜欢的食物——蛇。他们几乎是人类，所有这些鸟，完全没有恐惧，坐在数以百计的树上，用明亮的眼睛四处张望，尖叫，交谈，大笑，模仿任何发出声音的东西。
五六英尺长的可怕蜥蜴在地面上扑腾，轻而易举地跳到高高的树枝上，就像在地面上一样，它们是巨蜥。还有许多其他的蜥蜴，体型较小，但有些同样可怕，舌头肿胀，呈亮蓝色。蛇的种类几乎是无穷无尽的，克利里斯了解到，最大和最危险的看起来往往是最不危险的，而一英尺长的小生物可能是致命的蝰蛇; 地毯蛇，铜蛇，树蛇，红腹黑蛇，棕色蛇，致命的虎蛇。
还有昆虫！蚱蜢，蝗虫，蟋蟀，蜜蜂，各种大小和种类的苍蝇，蝉，蚊子，蜻蜓，巨大的蛾和这么多的蝴蝶！这些蜘蛛很可怕，巨大的毛茸茸的东西直径只有几英寸，或者小而致命的黑色东西藏在厕所里; 有些蜘蛛生活在巨大的旋转蜘蛛网中，悬挂在树木之间，有些蜘蛛在草丛中的蜘蛛网中摇晃，还有些蜘蛛跳进地面上的小洞里，洞口的盖子紧随其后。
男孩们兴奋地想，这就是生活。
