We take food from bowls on the table. Here are some delicious Chinese dishes.You shouldn’t put your chopsticks in your mouth. You should keep the ends of the chopsticks even. You shouldn’t tap your bowl with your chopsticks. You shouldn’t stand your chopsticks up in your bowl. You shouldn’t cross your chopsticks at the end of the meal.We put everything on a plate. Then we eat with a knife and fork.Look at this menu. What would you use to eat each dish?In Britain we put the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.In America we put the fork in the right hand when we eat. But we put it in the left hand when we cut something.Weather “why’s”Have you ever looked up at clouds passing by? Have you ever seen the pictures in the sky?Yes, I’ve seen lots of animal pictures in the sky. But they always run away. I wonder why?I once saw a flock of sheep, all fluffy, small and white. They all went walking in the sky. It was a pretty sight.I’ve seen a panda, a lion and a horse, and I’ve also seen an elephant, and cats and dogs, of course.Once I saw a clown whit a big, long nose. He was wearing such a funny hat and very silly clothes.Have you ever looked up at clouds passing by? Have you ever seen the pictures in the sky?I saw mountains and a forest, and a boy in a canoe. And he was on a river that was running fast and blue.O, I’ve seen lots of pictures, and some stories, too. I once saw a sailing ship with passengers and crew.It was a very sunny day with only one big cloud. It soon became a sailing ship, sailing high and proud.And then a giant storm cloud came rolling, rolling in. it chased the ship across the sky, and blew a great big wind.The ship went very quickly too, but couldn’t get away. The big wind blew both ship and sun, and made a stormy day.Have you ever looked up at clouds passing by?

They aren’t ‘London buses’. The real ‘London bus’ was the old Routemaster. This was our favourite bus for fifty-one years. It was a design classic.Were Routemasters really dangerous? The back of the bus was an open platform with no doors. Perhaps this wasn’t very safe—but Londoners like to do their own thing. And the Routemasters were fast in the traffic.Modern buses are safe, but they are slow. Passengers hate the doors. Car drivers hate the buses. The bus drivers have a hard time.The first Routemasters were on our roads in 1954. The last official Routemaster journey was on Route Number 9, on 15th February 2006. That was some years ago.Today, Londoners remember the Routemaster’s name. They remember the designer’s name: Douglas Scott.The new buses don’t have a name. How can we love them?Unit 15 Lesson 29 It’s a mystery to meDaisy: Welcome home, Jack! Did you have a good trip?Jack: It was OK. But it was all about babies and food!Daisy: Babies?

That’s life.Jack: True.Jack: And then there’s the food. I had lunch with Marcel. I didn’t want a three-hour lunch, but lunch is a serious business in Pairs.Daisy: Yes, it is. I like the French attitude to food. It’s very civilized.Jack: I agree with you, Daisy. They are nice people. They are also very efficient.Jack: But how do they do it? How do they have time for a civilized life and for work as well?It’s a mystery to me!。
