Chapter 10 Talking about food You are what you eat! Introduction:英文中有一句话：You are what you eat. “以食见人”讲的就是从你对吃的偏好就能让你“可见一般”。中国有让人羡慕的饮食文化，自然谈论哪里有好吃的是热门话题。如果只会吃，不会说，那可真是遗憾。这节中我们将学习有关中外饮食文化的内容，要掌握对饮食基本色香味的描述。 Task 1: you are going to hear two conversations between two students, while listening, underline some useful phrases about food.
