To those of you writing for the first time, well done! Its not so hard, is it?Well surya藤缠树, I happened to be 恰巧 in your beloved city in April this year. And I saw with my own eyes the blossom petals 绽开的花瓣 that I think you’re talking about. When I saw them, I thought it was snowing! As for the three famous foods of Tianjin, as far as I’m concerned 在我看来 these were: dumplings, dumplings and dumplings. Magic, reading your entry actually made me salivate 垂涎/流口水! Maybe it’s not a good idea to write this blog before lunchtime…But, what’s the British national dish? Fish and chips? Well it’s probably what a lot of tourists regard 认为 as the archetypal 典型的 British meal. But it’s not something that most people eat frequently, and we almost never cook this at home.I think a roast dinner, such as roast chicken, beef or lamb would be a better candidate（候选对象）选择 for our national dish. Everybody has fond memories of the smell of a roast dinner slowly cooking in the oven on a Sunday.The British attitude to our food mirrors our attitude to our language – it’s very inclusive 包容的 and not at all precious 敏感的. If you walk up an English high street you will see posh 高贵的 French and Italian restaurants,??Spanish Tapas bars, pubs serving Thai food, Chinese Takeaway restaurants, Turkish kebab shops and inevitably 当然/必然的, Indian curry houses. The British fondness for curry has led many people to say that this is our real national dish. Imagine not having any restaurants in your towns which serve traditional Chinese food! Likewise 同样, the reason why English has such a vast vocabulary is that we ‘borrow’ words from other languages. While other languages carefully guard their language from influence 影响 from abroad, English is a mishmash 混杂物 of Germanic, Latin and Greek words. Whats more 更为重要的是, we invent 创造 tho
