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 programme, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? No. According to the UN World Food Programme, 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 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 realised 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 food.

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

1Do not order(点菜) too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you have ordered, take the rest of it home.

2Don't be too picky(挑剔的)about food. Some food may not taste great. But your body needs it.

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

One of the first sightings upon entering the park which I found was a huge group of elephants．Our guide told us that Tagrangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large group of elephants, and that their population in the park was around 2,500．We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch.

To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years．Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees．

As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole．Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us．It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us．We then noticed just to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies — it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill had happened within the last hour．

Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where there were quite a many cars, with a sleeping leopard（美洲豹）there! We took photos and watched its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late．

So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route．
