Almost every Chinese person knows the famous poem, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)." But many of us don't get the real meaning: Don't waste food. A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010.Six million children die of hunger every year.
What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:
①Do not order too much in a restaurant. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
②Don't be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.
③Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
Several weeks ago, more than 70 American students discussed with American First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House about health problems.
The students asked lots of questions that day and Mrs. Obama answered them one by one patiently. Then Mrs. Obama explained the importance of making healthy choices(选择). The students were all eyes and ears as they listened.
She told the students that she didn't always feel good about the choices her family was making. Some years ago, when she was working and living with her family in Chicago, Mrs. Obama realized she had to make changes in her family's lifestyle.
"We were eating out too much, buying a lot of things, and drinking a lot of sugary drinks," she said. So Mrs. Obama started talking to her kids about eating healthily and exercising more. Soon they were cooking more, eating fewer desserts, and spending less time watching TV. Mrs. Obama realized that making little changes can have a big effect(效果)。
Mrs. Obama said that young people should take care of their own health and their own futures. "Exercise isn't always about sports. It's just about moving," she said.
A new word is becoming more and more popular on the Internet in China - but no one knows quite what it means. The word "duang" is so new that you can't even find it in the Chinese dictionary. But it has already spread(传播) like fire on the Chinese Internet, appearing more than 8,000,000 times on Weibo, where 15,000 users had more than 312,000 discussions. On Baidu, it has been looked up almost 600,000 times. But what does it mean?
"Everyone's duang-ing and I still don't know what it means! Looks like I'd better go back to school now," said Weibo user Fahmida.
Another user asked: "Have you duang-ed today? My mind is full of duang duang duang."
"To duang or not to duang, that is the question," wrote user Beatrice.
"Duang" seems to be imitating (模仿) a sound. It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who in 2004 appeared in a shampoo ad (洗发水广告) where he used the sound "duang" to describe his soft and black hair. The word came to people again recently(最近) after Chan posted it on his Weibo page. Thousands of users then began to visit Chan's Weibo page with comments (评论).
The word seems to have many different meanings, and there's no perfect (完美的) Chinese meaning for it, but you could use it to give emphasis (强调) to the word that follows it. A kid might be "duang cute", for example.
I have a lot of problems recently. First, I'm not happy in class. I'm so shy that I'm afraid of speaking in class. Secondly, I argued with my best friend. I'm very worried because I have few friends. I don't want to lose her. Thirdly, I feel nervous as the middle exams are coming. And even I can't sleep well at night.
Yesterday, my mother took me to the doctor. I told the doctor my problems and he gave me some advice. He asked me to make more friends who look friendly and play games in my free time, so that I'm not shy. He also said, "if you don't want to lose your best friend, you should talk with her. Tell her what you think and you are the best friends again." Because I can't sleep well, he asked me to eat some food that is good for sleep. And he asked me to relax. I'm trying to follow his advice.
