Most Chinese eat three meals a day. In the past,they had breakfast in the morning, a big lunch at noon, and a light supper at night.

    But now both men and women in the big cities have to work on the weekdays. So they often eat bread, eggs, milk and porridge forbreakfast at home. For lunch, Chinese take-away food is very popular. They often have a quick lunch in their workplaces.

    After work in the afternoon, they have more time for supper. They usually eat a big meal at home. Wives often cook meat, fish, chicken, vegetables and rice for their family.You can also find dumplings and noodles on the table in most families of northern(北方的)China.

    China is a big country. The weather in the south(南方)is different from that in the north(北方). Beijing is a beautiful city of China. In this city, spring is warm; summer is hot; autumn is cool and winter is cold. But in the south of China, it is always warm. In Hong Kong and Sanya, people like to swim in the sea. They can't see snow. In the north of China, people can make snowmen and play with snowballs in winter. People like to spend their holiday(度假) in the south in winter, and in the north in summer.

    Do you know Big Ben? Big Ben is not the name of a man. It's the name of a big clock in London. This clock has four faces. So, no matter which direction( 方向) you stand in, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. The minute hand on each face is about four metres long. If you go to London, you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament(国会大厦). In that place, you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower. You will probably hear it and see it. The big clock makes such a loud sound. It strikes every quarter of an hour. Big Ben has been the most famous symbol of London.
