Let's read the conversations and guess the meaning of the following expressions.

    The street food stands（摊）are very popular in Korea . They take their name from the two kinds of hot foods they sell : Dukbokgi and Odeng .

    Dukbokgi is a spicy hot food made of rice cakes and some vegetables . These rice cakes are finger-shaped . They are white , and they are about ten centimeters in length（长度）. They are mixed with sliced vegetables in a pan with a spicy red dressing（调料）. Fifteen minutes later , they are ready to eat . Odeng is made of ground fish . It comes in many shapes : some are square（正方形）, others are round , and still others are stick style . You can buy big or small ones . At these food stands , you can also eat Odeng , which has been boiled in a pot . It is served on a long stick so can eat it easily .

    The food sold at these stands is not expensive , compared to what other foods in Korea cost . Each Dukbokgi and Odeng costs about twenty to fifty cents , depending on the owner .

    Each food stand has its own recipes（菜谱）for its food ; for example , some like to add sugar or other special ingredients（材料）in the food . Usually , there is just one owner , but if the food stand is big , there may be two or three owners .

    When I was an elementary school student , I used to stop at street food stands every day after school to eat street food because I like it so much .

    For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs (关税) on Chinese products.

    Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, "In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China."

    Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.

    Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U.S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy (政策). However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters (路透社) that without Chinese garlic America can't go. Actually ,the trade war (贸易战) between China and America is a sign of American hegemony (霸权), and it will destroy American economy and U.S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world.

Hello! Welcome to our programme! I'm John. I'm in a health club now. I'm having a talk with four students. They are members of this club.

A. Listen when your parents are speaking. If you do so, they will listen to you as well.When true communication takes place, you will find it interesting to talk with them.

B. Find time to have fun with your parents. When you and your parents are free, you can play games together. It's a good way to.communicate with each other.

C.Write down what you want to say. You don't have to write down every word and even a few key points can help remind you of important things to talk about.

D.Find the right time and place. Make sure that your parents have enough time to talk with you. Don't talk in public places or when they have many things to do.

E. Don't argue with your parents. Be patient when you disagree with them. If you speak to your parents impolitely or even argue with them, it will hurt all of you.

F.Be brave to talk to your parents. They love you and are willing to support you, so anything you want to say will be welcome. Don't be shy and why not have a try?
