Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 A. D. when people began eating with chopsticks.
We don't know exactly when chopsticks were invented. There's a research showing that they didn't come into wide use until about 300 B. C. Chinese thinker Confucius was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal.
The"no-knives-on-the-table" rule led to a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This was the birth of Chinese cooking and it has made Chinese food popular around the world.
However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. "I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth." Eric' s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. "But it's worth learning. I have learned a lot from this experience," Eric said.
Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn't just provide energy. It also brings happiness. And chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom(智慧).
April 22, 2024 marks the 55th World Earth Day This year's theme is "Planet vs. Plastics". There are about one million waste plastic bottles produced by us every minute, and people use more than 570 million plastic bags each hour. Plastic products make our life convenient.

◆What can we do for plastic recycling?
There are several steps for you to follow before you put plastic waste in recyclable waste bins. For example, when you have an empty plastic bottle, you can first take off its cap. The bottle and the cap can be two different kinds of plastic so you'd better take them apart(分开) .
Then, make the bottle clean with water, especially the inside because there are always drinks or other things left. Lastly, crush(压扁) the bottle so that it can be easy to take and transport.
Rubbish Classification(分类) People need to divide rubbish into different groups before putting it in different rubbish bins. For example, plastic bottles belong to recyclable waste. They can be recycled to produce other products instead of being left on land. |
Three steps in recycling a plastic bottle
Every small action counts when it comes to protecting our environment. Taking responsibility for reducing( 减 少 )plastic pollution not only helps the Earth but also sets a positive example for others to follow. Let's work together to keep our planet clean and healthy for ourselves and future generations.
