Today is Xiaoling’s birthday. Her Chinese and English friends are coming to her party.“ What should we have for dinner?” she asks. “My Chinese friends like to eat rice, dumplings and noodles. But my English friends enjoy foods like bread, sandwiches, hamburgers and fish and chips.”
“You worry too much,” says Ben. “Let’s have both. For starters we can have tomato and egg soup. We all eat soup. Then for the main course we can have fish, meat with some vegetables, potatoes and rice.”
