A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of 4 little girls.

During that time, work was hard to find, so Grandpa did whatever jobs he could. He worked on a farm during the week and at weekends he and Grandpa grew some of their own food in the garden(花园).

Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. Grandma made jam(果酱)with strawberry, tomatoes, beans, peppers, pears and peaches. It was good to eat through the long winter.

The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and Grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.

Grandchildren grew up, and grandparents grew older. It became harder for Grandma and Grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.

Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was to watch from his chair as the vegetables grew and the flowers came out. Summer slowly went away, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest(丰收).

13.Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem,"Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦)."But sadly,many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines:Don't waste food.
A CCTV program,News One Plus One,reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200million people for a year.
Do we have too much food?According to the UN World Food Program,there were 925million hungry people around the world in 2010,especially in developing countries.Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的).Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.
Luckily,a number of people have realized the importance of saving food.Last November,Li Hong,a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing,got fired(开除)because she took some leftover(剩余的)food home for her son.Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste of food.
What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food?Here are some tips:
1.Do not order(定购)too much in a restaurant.Only order want you want to eat.If you cannot eat all the food you ordered,take the rest of it home.
2.Don't be too picky(挑剔的)about food.Some food may not taste great,but your body needs it.
