In China, a lot of food is wasted every year and the waste food is enough for     people. The food is wasted in restaurants, at home and in schools, etc.

In restaurants or at home, people often order or cook         food. But they can’t eat it up。When they go out of a restaurant, full and happy, they never look back         the uncertain food on the table again. Should Chinese consumers (消费者) feel          for the terrible waste?

In schools, we can often see a lot of students        food away after meals and they only eat the food they like.

Everyone is supposed to have enough food to eat. However, in some places, the food is so little        a lot of people died from hunger. Although China has tried hard to solve       of hunger over the past thirty years, the job is not finished yet. Food is important to us all. We     live without food. So          is necessary for us to love food and try to eat up everything on our plates. When we eat in restaurants, we should pack up the leftovers(剩菜剩饭). We also need to tell other people to stop           food as soon as possible.

Dear Zhang Hua，

   Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia．I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents．We are here for a holiday．

  Now we are staying in Bangkok(曼谷)．It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit．Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city．They are great! This morning we went shopping．Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry (珠宝)and clothes．My mother bought a nice necklace(项链)．My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts．

    Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly．And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok，the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling．Thai food is delicious，but it is sometimes a little spicy(辛辣的)for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago．Chinese food is very good，and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok，however，I don’t eat it．You know，I’d like to new things when I travel．

    The weather has been very hot．Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler．But today it’s hot again．

    Yours，

Mary
