CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million

people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were

900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year. So

think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the

plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant

in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people

were by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening.

Here are some tips:

Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can’t eat all the food you

order, take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. some food may not be tasty, but put body need it.

Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.

Afternoon tea (The traditional 4 o’clock tea) is a small meal, not a drink. Now most English families do not have time for afternoon tea at home, but in the past it was a tradition. However, you can still have afternoon tea at many tea rooms around England. Afternoon tea became popular about one hundred and fifty years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea. Later, they started offering their visitors sandwiches and cakes too. During the tea time, friends talked to each other freely and enjoyed themselves. Soon afternoon tea became very popular in England.

The English working people do not have afternoon tea. They have a meal at about noon, and a meal after work, between five and seven o'clock in the evening. This meal is called 'High Tea' or just 'Tea' (The traditional 6 o’clock tea). It’s usually takes place early evening. High tea is such a big meal that it has many kinds of delicious foods, such as scones, cakes, buns or tea breads, cheese, cold meats and eggs on toast. This meal is now often replaced with a supper because most people often eat their main meal in the evenings rather than at noon.
