Hello, my name is Alice. Do you want to know something about Chinese food? In China, there are many different kinds (种类) of food. Some of them are very popular and many people like them very much. Among them, dumplings (饺子) are the real Chinese food.

Everyone in China likes dumplings very much, and there are many different kinds of dumplings. Some have beef and vegetables in them, and some have eggs and carrots in them. But I love eating dumplings with vegetables and pork (猪肉).

The Spring Festival is very important in China. When it comes, we make dumplings, and usually we put a coin (硬币) in a dumpling. We think that if one eats the dumpling with the coin in it, he can be lucky in the New Year.

Welcome to China. I’ll ask you to eat the real Chinese food: dumplings.
