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 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not.According to the UN World Food Program，there were 925 million 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 hospitable(好客的) and generous.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 (解雇)because she took some leftover food home for her son.Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:

1.Do not order too much in a restaurant.Only order as much as 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.

3.Keep an eye on what food you have at home.Don't buy too much，especially for vegetables and fruit.

How time flies! My best friend and I have changed a lot.

My best friend Gina used to be an outgoing girl. She often played soccer after school. She never wore skirts. But now she is very quiet and shy. She often reads in the library and wears white skirts.

I'm Eric. I used to be short and thin. But now I am tall and strong. I often play volleyball with my friends. In the past，my math was so bad. Every class was like a bad dream. I'm afraid to ask and answer questions in class. I tried my best to study and often learned from others.

Fortunately，I can get good scores on my math exams now. My classmates say I'm a clever and handsome boy. I'm glad to hear that.

Sometimes，people also don't say exactly what they 744.．For example，when someone asks “Do you agree？” the other person might think，“No，I disagree.I think you're wrong...”But it is 75.5. to disagree so strongly，so the 76.6. answer may be “I'm not sure.” It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
