八上Module7 拓展阅读Looking back: Li Mings first impression of life in the UK.Remember Liming Ming from China who came to study in the UK? Hes been here for nearly two years now. But hell never forget his first few weeks of living in a different country.The FoodIn China, Ill eat almost anything. I remember the first food I tasted at school in England. We had this soup and it tasted of nothing at all. In China, our food is quite salty, but its the salt that makes it taste nice. A friend persuaded me to try some cheese and biscuits. I thought biscuits were the same as cookies in America but I was wrong. Again, the biscuits tasted of nothing at all and the cheese was really sour.Introduction In China when you meet someone for the first time, you sometimes shake hands. I was so surprised when my friends mother gave me a kiss when I left his house. I felt embarrassed and I know I went very red. Transport When I want to go anywhere in China, I just take my bicycle. Here in England, I have to get a bus everywhere。 Its really confusing because buses dont stop automatically like they do in Beijing. You have to put your hand out, ring the bell or press the signal button.Socialising I remember when I went round to a friends house and I wanted to say thank you to his mother.

In England, a cake is more often given on someones birthday.Word Bank:1 soup n. 汤2 salty adj. 咸的3 persuade v. 说服，劝说4 cheese n. 奶酪5 biscuits n. 饼干6 cookie n.
