Habit Cards [31]

Describe what you usually do on the weekends. You should say: Where you go or stay Whether you do this by yourself or with friends What the activity involves And explain why you usually do this rather than other things. Ok, I'd like to tell you about what I usually do on the weekends, and so I'll

give you a few details. Actually, I often just stay at home. I don't go out very much because I have to take care of the home and he}p my father and mother do things around the house. I have to do this by myself since my father and mother are business people and the weekends are the busiest times for them. So I often have to take care of the cleaning and cooking. So you can say that Saturday and Sunday are really my working days of the week. Most of what I do is just give the house a good clean and wash the areas that need it most like the windows. I also do a bit of cooking, and then store some of the meals in the freezer so that my parents can just heat them up in the microwave when they want to.

I guess I do this simply because it's my duty. I mean my parents pay for my education and support me, and if they didn't have to go through all the trouble and expense, they'd probably get a house cleaner. So I hope to save them the expense of a housekeeper. I know they do appreciate what I do, and I feel that I am a useful person as well. If I ever have kids, I think I will let them to do the same thing because I think it helps me to be more responsible.

Describe what you do on a typical day. You should say: What you do immediately after you get up Your activities in the afternoon What you do after you get home from school or work And explain whether you think your daily routine is satisfying. Ok, I'll tell you about my basic day. As I've told you, I'm a student, so it's not perhaps as routine a life as, say, work. I get up at 6:00am. When I first get up, I bathe and then clean up a bit and make my bed. Most of the morning I spend in the library, because I only have one class that starts at 9:30 and ends at 12:00.

Between classes I go back to my place and have a nap. This is very common for Chinese students and we all wake up at about 1 :30. I have another class from about 2:00 to 4:30. Just before dinner, I usually play some basketball in the playground with a group of mends. After dinner, I usually study for my English classes by listening to cassettes. I have a tape recorder and so I can play English dialogues very carefully to learn from them. Most likely I will call up a group of mends and we get together and decide what to do. Most of the time we just try to have a good time, but sometimes, especially before we have an exam, we study together. I guess you could say that my daily routine is normal and there is nothing in it that is really distressing or bad. It's not boring because there is some variation in it, but sometimes I think it could be a bit more exciting. I'd like to explore the world beyond just the campus.

Describe a dish you often eat and like. You should say: What it is and how often you eat it Where you usually eat it What is in the dish (general description) And explain why you like this dish more than others. Ok, so I've been asked to speak about my favourite dish. Well, that's tough because I could probably name about 50 dishes that I could call my favourite. But I think the dish that I seem to love whenever I go out is a dish called Suan Do Jiao Rou Muo. It consists of beans, which are a little bit sour and come with finely cut up meat. It is not a dish that you would call luxurious, but it is a dish that I would miss if I were to go without it for too long.

The basic style of it is quite simple. It is a dish that you might find in Sichuan, Hunan, or maybe another province that likes spicy dishes. There are lots of chilies in it and the taste has an interesting balance of being spicy, slightly salty and slightly sour. It is that balance that I think is really important, because if you don't cook it well it could be a disaster. Most restaurants will serve it in Hunan and Sichuan, but you can also find it around the country if the restaurant carries a few Hunan dishes on its menu. It's considered a good idea to eat it with a bowl of rice because rice can soften some of the saltiness of it.

I think one big reason I like it is because it is nutritious. The beans are good for you and the meat is not usually prepared in too much oil. But that balance that I talked about of being slightly sour but also being spicy and a bit salty is what makes it so delicious. It is the right dish to have if you are looking for something filling

Describe your habits for going out to eat. You should say: How often you like to go to restaurants. Which people you most enjoy going to restaurants with. What your favourite dishes and restaurants are And explain why you like these dishes and restaurants so much. I think this is a good topic for me because I'm always eating out. The truth is that I don't like doing too much cooking, so I need to get out quite often-maybe twice a week. I will usually go with my wife but sometimes with a group of people from work. To tell you the truth, I try to avoid the dinner parties that have lines of beer bottles and rice wine because I know the conversations will just get sillier and sillier.

My favourite dishes are seafood dishes, and I don't like my food to be so spicy. I prefer Cantonese-style dishes, which emphasize lighter seasoning and mixed vegetables. The best places to find these kinds of dishes are in specialty Cantonese restaurants, because if you try to get people to cook it up north, you may find yourself quite disappointed with the way they cook it.

The reason I like these kinds of restaurants is because I'm originally from Guangzhou, so I've never really change …… 此处隐藏：6204字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
