3 . Have you ever wondered that the food you eat everyday can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food?     1     There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.

    2     It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate foods from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.

On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture.     3    . Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.

Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries.     4     Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.

We should embrace our heritage(传统)through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.     5    

A．Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.

B．On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture.

C．The smell and taste of the food is very familiar to me.

D．It also operates as an expression of culture identity.

E．Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.

F．Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cooking traditions are so important to your culture?

G．As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to access foods from different cultures.

There will be a Chinese zither (古筝) exhibition in the city museum on this weekend. Informed that traditional Chinese instruments appeal to you, I’m writing to invite you visit it.

Twenty Chinese zithers of different ages, among them the oldest one has a history of 2,500 year, will be on show in the museum. It is widely acknowledged that Chinese zithers were called “the piano in China”, enjoy a great popularity. Equally attractive are amazing stories behind it, for example, how they were made by hand and whatever parts they consisted of. There is a good chance that you can appreciate music play on the instrument by famous artists, exposed to a peace atmosphere.

Are you available? If so, I am too willing to accompany you.
