In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, a clay cup is usually used to brew (冲泡) Longjing, Biluochun, Maojian or just green tea. Chrysanthemum tea (菊花茶) is sometimes used in the hot summer season to reduce (减少) the heat from outside.

In some coastal provinces such as Guangdong Province and Fujian Province, a pot of Oolong tea or Pu’er tea is the common treat.

In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.

Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu (菜单) on the counter (柜台), and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There’s no need to leave a tip (小费).

In coffee shops, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (收银员) as you leave.

In family restaurants, the waitress leads you to your table. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. If you can’t finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a bag to take the rest of food home. You should add fifteen per cent to the bill (账单) as a tip.

In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If there is wine there, he may ask you taste it. You can only refuse (拒绝) it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty per cent to it as a tip for the waiter.

It is usually a big piece of roast (烤) meat with potatoes and green vegetables, and after that, some dessert.

②So many British women do not spend long in the kitchen, and their husbands (丈夫) do not spend a long time at the dinner table. Some people think that the British eat only when they are hungry.

Do you know mukbang? It is about the eating shows in front of the camera (相机) on the Internet. In the shows, people may see mukbangers eating food and sometimes talking to people who watch their videos.

The eating shows started in South Korea in around 2010 and then became popular all over the world. Why did mukbang start in this country? Actually, South Korea has the culture of eating together, but eating on one’s own is quite common in the country. Many people like mukbang shows because watching mukbang can be a way to have someone to eat with. People can connect with(联系) others even though they are at home alone.

However, mukbang has its dark sides. The way mukbangers eat food in some shows isn’t healthy. These bad eating habits can bring serious health problems.

Now, many people criticize(批评) such shows. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and there are lots of people who still don’t have enough food to eat. Our country does a lot of things to solve the problem and asks short-video platforms(平台), such as TikTok and Kuaishou, to take action.
