In places of Asia, especially China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.

Chopsticks are two long thin tapered(锥形的) pieces of wood. Bamboo is the most material, but they are also be made of all kinds wood, as well as plastic, animal bone, ivory(象牙质), metal, coral(珊瑚)and so on.

Sometime chopsticks are quite artistic. Chopsticks can be covered with artwork. They might be made of gold and have Chinese calligraphy(书法)on them. A child’s plastic set of chopsticks might have a carton character, such as Mickey Mouse. 

The Chinese have been using chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, using twigs(小树枝) to remove it.
