Dear Bobby,

Hi! I saw your name and address in the Shenzhen Students’ Post, and I would like to be your friend. My name is Sam. I live in Shenzhen. I am in Grade 8. I have short black hair and brown eyes. I don’t like table tennis and I’m not keen on badminton. My favourite sport is basketball. I want to be a football player.

My father is an engineer and my mother is a shop assistant. They are very kind. I have a sister. She is ten and she is a student, too. She is at primary school(小学). She likes reading and she is very clever. I love my family very much.

Tell me something about your family. Write to me soon.

Best wishes,

Sam

To save time, many Americans buy foods which can be quickly made ready for the table. On holidays, families enjoy delicious meals. For example, on Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November, family members get together for a turkey dinner with pumpkin pie(南瓜派).

The United States is known around the world for its fast food, such as hamburgers, sandwiches, pizzas, salad bars, and many kinds of ice cream. People can easily find fast food chains(连锁店),such as McDonalds’ and KFC, in most of the big cities in the world.

These years, many people have taken more and more care of their health while eating. They come to know eating too much meat will make them overweight. Many of them are also worried about food addictives(添加剂). Some of them may be harmful to the body.
