Food is a major(主要的)of every culture. After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when.

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.

The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables. Between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., people enjoy a smaller meal with their families.

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推车). But they always finish eating before walking away.

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ. Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast. Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers. Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns. American restaurant servings tend to be huge. But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common.

This winter holiday was a different one for Chinese people. No Spring Festival gatherings, no family reunion meals, no hanging out with friends. Instead, we had masks on our faces, traffic controls, closed shops, delayed (延迟) school or work days, temperature checks in public places. During this time, most people have shown their understanding, taking medical advice and following the new rules. Everyone is making efforts, small or big, to help fight the epidemic (疫情).Here are the stories of three teenagers and their families during the epidemic.

Li Mingyu, 15, Lanzhou

* . His father is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. The hospital he works in has received several corona-virus pneumonia patients. Although Li’s father doesn’t have to treat the patients, there are still risks of infection (感染). To help cheer up his coworkers, Li’s father made a few packages containing traditional Chinese medicine and handed them out.

Zhao Junyan, 15, Shanghai

Zhao is a Grade 8 student from Shanghai. On Feb 3, he transported 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China. During the winter holiday, Zhao went to visit his uncle in Jakarta. When he saw the news about the outbreak and the shortage of masks in China, he and his uncle bought as many masks as they could.“When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible (有责任的) to help,”Zhao said to the media. “What I have done is what an ordinary Chinese person can possibly do.”

Tong Zexi, 15, Harbin

Tong hasn’t left his house for more than 20 days. Sometimes he really wanted to run outside and breathe freely without a mask. “But I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this key time, if one gets sick, many others could be affected,” he said. With this in mind, he has stayed at home and worked on his homework. He also tries to do some exercise indoors, believing that staying fit will help prevent the disease.
