1) Which do you prefer to eat, lunch or dinner? Why?

I prefer to eat lunch. I usually have a good appetite during lunchtime. I will have a variety of foods for lunch, which can provide different nutrients to my body. Besides, I don’t have to worry too much about getting fat if I eat some food of high calorie because I often do some exercises in the afternoon. According to some science research, one should not eat much during the dinner; otherwise, one will put on weight or have some problems with his stomach. So I often eat some vegetables and fruits at dinner.

2) Do you think there are any benefits from eating breakfast?

Sure, there are lots of benefits. Eating breakfast will provide your body with enough energy so that you can study or work more efficiently in the morning. I would say, eating breakfast is a must for a healthy diet. People who do not eat breakfast will be haunted by many kinds of diseases in their later years. Some people often skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but that's not a good idea. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal, or nibble on high-calorie snacks to release hunger. There are some studies suggesting that people tend to add more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in *aller and regular meals.

3) Are you willing to try some new food?

Yes. I always like trying new food. Nowadays, food is far more than something that fills our stomachs. Different kinds of food stand for different cultures. For example, the popular TV program named A Bite of China represents our marvellous Chinese food culture. I believe new food stands for a new culture. New food also means a new life. I like experiencing new life, just as I like tasting new food. As a southerner, I felt very excited to try many kinds of northern food when I first went to Beijing. Since then I fell in love with many delicious foods there.

Or: When I came to Suzhou for the first time, I went to try some local snacks. They were very delicious, so I would suggest you going ……

4) Which do you prefer—to eat one big meal or to eat several *all snacks?

I would prefer to eat several *all snacks. Big meals are usually the same except slight differences. But snacks are of different features and tastes. It is a special experience to taste different *all snacks without getting too full. Especially when I arrived at a new place, I would like to try some local snacks. That was amazing.

5) What do you consider to be a healthy diet?

I would think a healthy diet should first include adequate nutrition that the body needs. We usually consider such nutrients as protein, fat, vitamin, minerals, and fibre when we talk about nutrition. A healthy diet should include some food that can give the body enough energy and other kinds of food that can provide sufficient fibre. Some people would say that a healthy diet should exclude those foods of high calorie. Actually, as long as the calorie you take from food provides adequate energy to your body, the diet is healthy. The pre-requisite is that you should keep a balanced diet.

6) Do you know how to make (prepare) a meal?

Yes, I often cook delicious food. Making meals for my family is really a great pleasure. For example, in Spring Festival, my family will prepare a feast for the big family, including my grandparents, my uncles, aunts and their children. I will cook some dishes and as well as help my parents to do the cooking. Knowing that my family enjoy the food makes me extremely happy.
