题目内容

I was headed out the door the other day with my two sons.We were going to drive to the local grocery store to pick up a few odds and ends that we had run out of during the week.I shut the door quickly because my dogs were already barking at being left behind in the house.We headed down the hill but when I reached into my pocket for the car keys,they weren't there.Shaking my head,I walked back up the hill and saw my keys still dangling from the hook(挂钩)where I always hang them.

This,of course,isn't the only time I have forgotten something recently.In fact,it seems to be happening more and more.There isn't a week that goes by that I don't forget something and then remember it later in the day or misplace something and have to go looking for it.The medical professionals all reassure(使……安心)me that this is a normal part of getting older.They say not to worry about it and to take it with a smile.I am doing my best to do so.

I think I will be alright with my forgetful mind too as long as I can keep remembering the important things in life.I don't mind misplacing my keys as long as I can remember that God loves me.I don't mind forgetting what I came into a room for as long as I can remember what I am in this life for.I don't mind being a bit absent-minded as long as I am being loving-hearted.

May you always remember the important things in life: You were created in love.You were created to love.You are called to kindness and made for joy.You can make a difference in this world with every choice you make.

When people ask me to name typical British dishes,I have,however,struggled to think of an answer.Yes,we do have our own national dishes.We do have fish and chips,and we have other dishes like roast dinner and shepherd's pie.But how much do we actually eat them?

Fish and chips,is made up of battered(绞碎的)fish and chips,which is often accompanied by a thick paste(酱). The majority of British people really do love this dish but it is not something that we would eat,say,on a weekly basis.It's also not usually something that we would cook at home.The British people associate this dish with the seaside and it's something that will usually be eaten on a day trip there,bought from a takeaway fish and chip shop.

Another favourite British dish is roast dinner.This is made up of roast meat,usually chicken or beef, accompanied by roast vegetables and a meat sauce called gravy(肉汁).It is usually eaten on a Sunday,perhaps for a special family dinner.It can either be cooked at home or eaten in a traditional pub.We also eat a more elaborate version of this for our Christmas dinner.

Although we do have our traditional dishes,our diet has been greatly influenced by other countries.You can find a wide range of international foods in the supermarket or varieties of different restaurants on our high streets.A famous saying amongst British people is that our national dish is now chicken tikka masala,a dish which is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine.

Don't expect to be served a traditional dish if you ever get invited for dinner at a British family's home!
