Welcome to China, we'll invite you to eat the real Chinese food-dumplings. In China, there are many
different kinds of food. Some of them are very popular. The real Chinese food is dumplings. Now let's talk
about them, OK?
      Everyone in China likes dumplings very much, and there are many different kinds of dumplings. Some have
meat and vegetables in them; others have sugar, eggs and so on. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better
than any other kind.
      Usually people make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make them, you can buy them from any
supermarket. Then you take them home and eat them with vinegar. The Spring Festival is very important in
China. When it comes, we make dumplings; usually we put a coin in a dumpling. If one eats the dumpling with
the coin in it, he or she will be lucky in the year.
      In the old days, people couldn't often eat dumplings because they were very poor. Now our country is
becoming stronger and stronger, and our people are richer and richer. We can eat them very often.
      Now tell me, do you like dumplings? What kind of dumplings do you like?
      And to our surprise, many foreigners have problems making dumplings, so they go to Chinese restaurants
to eat dumplings, not make at home. They also like eating dumplings.
