THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d    1     the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h    2     these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e    3    , that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R    4    , that among these are life, L    5    , and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g     6     are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P     7     to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l    8     its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f    9    , as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d     10    , to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

But the author enjoys that sort of food herself. Last week, she went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, p    4    at his own ears, “just these o    5     ones.” It’s because he must have thought she was joking.

Her dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” and also does a t    6    . Sunday roast, but her mum says they’d better not eat too much roast food    7     it may make them suffer from heat inside their bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

When the author first visited China, she came across stinky tofu, which she thought smelt like a b    8     sports shoe, but she g    9     all her courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad.

There is a saying that one man’s meat is another man’s p    10    , but the author feels at home with food from both cultures and she believes that there’s nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup.

At one time, experts were against raising children in a bilingual home. They thought their brains would become confused, which would result in their development delays and poor p     1       in studies. But we now understand that the exact o     2       is true.
