Reading
What foods can have an impact on your feelings
Foods that I eat may impact my feelings in a positive or negative way.
Dumplings cheer me up because they remind me of the time when I was younger and helped my grandmother make them. Eating certain foods also brings me mixed feelings. For instance, when I want to relax, especially while studying, I often eat sweet soft cakes; however, it sometimes makes me feel guilty because I know cakes are unhealthy.

How does the author introduce the topic of comfort food What do you think of this technique
In your opinion, is there any difference between one’s comfort food and favorite food Give your reasons.
The author introduces the topic with a personal experience from her childhood that illustrates the power comfort food has to lift our spirits, before continuing with a more detailed description of exactly how comfort food does that. This technique is quite effective , as it attracts the reader’ s attention and inspires interest in the topic of discussion.
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. Second, people’s favourite food often connects with satisfying their hunger, while comfort food usually connects with memories from their childhood.
Recommend some comfort food and give your reasons.
Let’s share!
Comfort food let us touch our tongue. However, the most important thing is that it is more than a kind of food. It’s food for the soul. We can express our feelings through it. As Chen Shou says, “Food is as fundamental to man as the people are to the state”. (国以民为本,民以食为天。) By eating comfort food, we can keep a positive attitude towards our life.
