Activity 1　Discussion
1. In your opinion, is there any difference between one’s comfort food and favourite food？Give your reasons. (critical thinking)
I think people’s favourite food and comfort food are different in two ways.
First, favourite food——come and go
comfort food ——remain the same.
Second, favourite food——for the body
comfort food——for the soul.
Post-reading
2. What foods can remind you of your happy memories Describe the
memories they recall. (creative thinking)
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 snacks 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.

Except for the dumplings(jiaozi) mentioned in the article , we all know the other traditional foods such as zongzi, qingtuan, yuanxiao, mooncakes(yuebing) and so on.

Analyze the key points of the text
Paragraph 1
Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick，not to mention the lovely creamy flavour, which works like a time machine immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood. With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma’s flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding. I take my time over every spoonful, gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk. Before I know it, I’m happy again.

Paragraph 2
定语从句
Our comfort foods are highly individual. They vary from person to person, depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives. If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend to be linked with positive emotions. For example, we often connect chicken soup with a happy childhood and its flavour becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of. When we eat it again, we unlock memories of a time when we were loved and looked after, and this cheers us up

Paragraph 3
The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging can become particularly important for people who move away from their home country. According to some food experts, there are some aspects of culture that people will lose right away, but with food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory, family and place. It is hardest to give up the food that you grow up with. Of course, each person’s comfort food largely depends on where they come from — for a Chinese it might be a plate of dumplings with a saucer of vinegar, and for a native of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty and sour.One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots, giving us the “taste of home” that we cry out for and relieving feelings of homesickness.
