【推荐3】My dear friends! Today it’s my turn to give my class report! Then you can learn more about me.

Do you eat meat? Well, if you do, then you might find my next words interesting. A study says that the world has a _______   need for meat. In 1960, each person ate about 21 kg, in 2007, the number rose to 40 kg! At the same time, there have been _________in the list of favorite meats. In the 1960s, beef was high on the menu. Of the meat that was eaten, 40% was beef. In 2007, pork became the star. Poultry( 家 禽 ) also became popular, going up from 12% to 32%,_______people’s worries about their health these years. And which country_______the most meat for each person? The answer is Luxembourg! In 2007, each Luxembourger ate about 137 kg of meat! Now, enough with the numbers.

Next, I want to_______a story.

It’s never comfortable to take a bus during rush hour on a hot summer day. All my friends hate it. And I…, well, I_______ it, too.

Two months ago, I was on a bus that was packed with almost everyone in the city. I_______my friend Neal to see a show. And then he called and said he couldn’t come. While I was feeling sorry for myself, a girl called my name. I didn’t recognize(认出) her_______. Then I was surprised to find that she was Helen, my old neighbor. We were happy to see each other, so we decided to have dinner together. And that was the_______of many dinners after. You know what? Helen loves eating meat a lot!

With Helen, the bus ride________ something I love. The bus is still packed with people, but I enjoy the ride every day.

Before I finish my report, I’m playing you a song called Currywurst. The singer sings about his love for the meat dish of the same name. Enjoy!
