I’m very happy to get your e-mail. You say you always eat rice, vegetables and chicken, and chicken is your favorite. That’s very good. My brother David likes chicken, too. You often eat hamburgers at KFC with your friends. And I often go there, too.

I live in London, England. I like fish and hamburgers very much. Every morning, I have some bread, milk and an egg for breakfast at home. For lunch, I have some fish, vegetables and a hamburger at school with my good friend, Jane. In the evening, I have dinner with my family. My mother cooks (烹饪) dinner for us.

There are some interesting festivals in China. I like China very much and I want to come to China with my family. We want to know more (更多) about Chinese festivals. Can you help us?

Did you know that chocolate comes from a tree? 【小题1】 To make chocolate, first we leave the beans in the dark for a few days, and then dry them in the sun. After that(液体) comes out. That liquid is pressed until it separates and the result is cocoa butter(可可脂), which can be turned into chocolate. 【小题2】 The first people to grow cacao trees for chocolate were the Mayans, who lived in Mexico thousands of years ago. 【小题3】 When people from Spain came to Mexico, they discovered the drink, they took chocolate home with them.

Wouldn’t you like to have a cacao tree in your garden so you could have your own special supply of chocolate? Well, don’t even think about it! 【小题4】 What a pity!

Chocolate is good for you as long as you don’t eat it all day long! It has iron(铁) , which is good for your body! 【小题5】 So don’t eat too much, and remember to brush your teeth after you eat it!
