The common Chinese greeting of “Ni chi le ma” may soon be replaced (代替) by a new greeting, “Have you 【小题1】 your plate?”

The Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘运动) began on the Internet 【小题2】 2016. It calls on people to reduce food waste. 【小题3】, China has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 【小题4】 of people for a year.

Chinese people are well-known for their friendly behavior towards guests. Many even feel that they 【小题5】 face if their guests have eaten all the food.

It’s important for everyone to reduce food waste. 【小题6】, wasting food is still a serious problem in China. We still have a long 【小题7】 to go.

President Xi Jinping is encouraging people to be less wasteful, and he told Party members to cut back on wasteful holiday banquets (宴会). He said they should be more careful when spending the people’s money.

Wasting food certainly goes 【小题8】 what Xi Jinping calls, “the Chinese tradition of being hardworking and thrifty (节俭).” Having a “clean plate” is just a traditional and important thing to do.

The university is about two stops from here on the underground railway. It 【小题6】 ten minutes to get there, so that's easy. Most of the other students 【小题7】 bicycles, but I haven't got one.

Yours,
