UNIT 6 Chinese Culture
UNIT 7 Future
UNIT 8 Shopping

In any country, the service and the types of dishes vary depending on the occasion-whether one is attending a formal banquet, a dinner with friends in a nice restaurant, or a regular meal at home with the family. Despite these variations, people still make sweeping generalizations about the cuisine of any country. In actual fact, there are regional differences within a country. Chinese food is one such example. Sichuan cuisine is very hot and spicy as it has been prepared with various types of peppers.
There are a number of things that characterize Chinese food and eating habits. The most obvious is the use of chopsticks. Since meat and vegetables are finely chopped before they are cooked, knives and forks are not necessary at the dining table. Plates or bowls containing meat,fish, or vegetable dishes are placed in the middle of the table and each person helps himself or herself to the food with his or her own chopsticks.
Until about the 1990s, meat was usually considered a luxury in China. Meat dishes were not as common as they are nowadays. As a rule, tiny slices of pork, beef, or chicken were integrated into vegetable or tofu dishes. This is still the case today. In China, larger pieces of meat are generally served with the bones. Traditionally, Chinese meals never included big portions of meat such as steaks, pork chops, or hamburgers. On the other hand, fish is served whole with the head and the tail. Since it is a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture, fish is often the most important dish on the table on New Year's Eve.In most Western countries, potatoes and pasta, made from grain such as wheat, are staple foods. Rice, on the other hand, is the staple food in China and is usually part of every meal.Noodles made from rice, wheat, or beanse are also very popular and are often included in various types of soup.
