A Chinese language teacher shares her teaching methods
如何教外国人快乐学中文？
Chen Hui, an international Chinese education teacher, has been teaching at the Confucius Institute at the University of Novi Sad (诺维萨德大学) in Serbia for seven years.
Last year, the 45-year-old gave a Mid-Autumn Festival-themed class for Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s 8-year-old son and his friends. “They watched an animated video about the festival and asked about Chinese mythology (神话), such as why Chang’e can fly to the moon after eating the elixir (神药),” said Chen.
With a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in linguistics (语言学), Chen’s journey into international Chinese education began with teaching international students at Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University. Her teaching career led her to apply for a position at the Confucius Institute, a collaboration (合作) between her university and the University of Novi Sad.
Teaching Chinese abroad typically requires a Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (CTCSOL, 国际中文教师证书). The CTCSOL exam’s content resembles (与……相似) that of the qualification test for Chinese language teachers in domestic middle schools. No matter your professional background, getting this certificate means you’re qualified to teach.
“The greatest challenge for most teachers of international Chinese education is to teach students of various ages and backgrounds, which requires different teaching methods,” said Chen. Besides standard courses for HSK (汉语水平考试), for younger learners, Chen designs interactive activities like kite-making to make learning Chinese more enjoyable. For older students, she tailors lessons based on individual interests. For example, one student loves Chinese pop songs, such as Melody by David Zee Tao (陶喆). So, Chen encouraged him to learn the language through songs.
When teaching government officials and university professors, Chen delves into a broad range of topics related to China and its development. During classes with Marina Sokovic, the assistant minister of the Department of Science in Serbia, Chen engaged her in conversational practice. They discussed Chinese beverages (饮料), with Sokovic expressing a liking for Moutai.
Serbia currently hosts three Confucius Institutes. “As Chinese language education gains momentum (动力), I see a bright future for the profession, with more young people joining the ranks of international Chinese educators, infusing (注入) the field with energy and vitality,” noted Chen.
Three Main Employment Channels
● Training institutions
Domestic and international Chinese teaching institutions, both online and offline, offer diverse opportunities for language instructors. On foreign teaching platforms like Preply, hourly wages vary, with rates reaching up to $20-30 per hour.
● Companies
More foreign companies are entering China these days, while Chinese companies are expanding globally. This requires qualified Chinese teachers to work in companies to provide Chinese language training for foreign employees.
● Teachers dispatched overseas
Chinese language teachers sent abroad usually fall into two groups: volunteer teachers and State-sponsored (公派的) teachers. Volunteer teachers are recruited (招聘) by Chinese universities affiliated with Confucius Institutes. State-sponsored teachers are recruited and managed by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (中外语言交流合作中心).

Philadelphia, often referred to as Philly, is a major city located along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, a state in the northeastern United States. Founded in the 1680s by an Englishman William Penn, who also planned its layout (布局), the city was named Philadelphia—a word Penn understood to mean “city of brotherly love” in Greek.
Philadelphia served as the nation’s capital from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders declared independence and later debated the creation of a government.
Near the park stands National Liberty (自由) Museum, housing over ninety paintings and sculptures, which represent the idea that liberty is a freedom that is easily broken. Several blocks away lies National Constitution (美国宪法) Center, a privately operated nonprofit museum that opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. The museum was created to elevate public recognition of the Constitution, its history and its importance today. Visitors here are presented with the idea that the most important part of American constitutional democracy (立宪民主) is the individual citizen.
Philadelphia also offers plenty for visitors who are less concerned about history and more concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for foodies, including a typical sandwich—the Philly cheesesteak, usually made of thin pieces of meat covered with cheese, offered with onions and other toppings and served on a long roll. And where can the best Philly cheesesteak be found That question is the subject of much debate—one way to settle it: try them all and decide for yourself!

Growing up in an Italian-American household was, for me, pretty special. My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Italy, held on to (守住) so many of her family’s traditions that at times, regardless of the fact that I was living in America, our home felt like in Italy.
To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian. She may speak in some English terms and expressions from time to time, but our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us food →Italian food is an important part of our lives. The food my mother prepared for me and my sister as children is the same food my grandmother created in her small farm kitchen high up in the mountains.
One of my family’s dishes of heritage I made sure to learn and perfect is my mother’s arancini divisor (Italian rice balls) Arancini, in Italian, means little oranges. After you roll some leftover rice into a small ball, place a piece of mozzarella (马苏里拉奶酪) in the center, then bread that and fry it, the golden outside resembles (像) one of our favorite fruits. For my family, it also showcased my mother’s ability to always find a delicious way to never let anything go to waste: Last night’s good rice was repurposed (改变用途) into this perfect mid-day snack or dinner appetizer.
So, when I take a perfect little arancini out of the hot oil and crack it open, I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of last night’s rice transformed into sticky, delicate goodness. This small snack symbolizes so many important elements in my life: my mother’ s waste-not philosophy, her ability to take a few simple ingredients and transform them, and finally, the way she carried her mother’s recipes to the U. S. in her mind and heart so she could, years later, teach me about my heritage through food.
Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continued to make here in the U. S. after leaving Italy, allowed her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all.

Deep in the forests in the Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, the five lotus-flower-shaped towers of the large Angkor Wat stand tall towards the sky. When tourists arrive at the main gate, they will be attracted to the large temple (庙宇).
Angkor Wat was part of a city as big as London. This city was at the center of an empire that covered areas from southern Vietnam to Laos, and from the Mekong River to Eastern Myanmar between the 9th and 15th centuries. By around 1500 A．D．, the Khmer capital was left behind empty, most likely after heavy floods and long droughts. Later, forests were all around the temples and buildings that lay hidden until their rediscovery in 1860.
Angkor Wat’s inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1992 marked a milestone in the country’s recovery. The action of the protection and development of this cultural site is a typical example of international solidarity and proves to be one of UNESCO’s most important achievements. Thirty countries and a group of experts were brought together to work on scientific projects for the restoration (修复) of these amazing sites. The aim was to support long-term and environmentally friendly progress.
Angkor has become a living laboratory showing the beauty of historic buildings. Walking through the temple, people see hundreds of beautiful figures on the walls telling the stories of these ancient people, and long hallways lined with many attractive supports. The fact that Angkor was taken off UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger just twelve years later is a great achievement for most people of Cambodia.
A large number of visitors from all over the world make their journey there enjoying the beautiful scenery. The large site now supports 700,000 local people and attracts some five million visitors whose flow (流动量) must be controlled each year. The local organizations in charge are carrying out several projects to encourage better development of the tourism industry. In this way, they hope to improve the lives of communities.

Shangri-La was a key staging post in the Yunnan-Xizang branch of the Ancient Tea-Horse Caravan Route, a trade route that started in the Tang Dynasty and prospered in the Ming and Qing dynasties connecting Pu’er in Yunnan with Lhasa in today’s Xizang Autonomous Region.
About seven years ago, Tsering Dondrub, a 33-year-old business owner in Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, bought three traditional Tibetan houses in Wugong Village, Xiaozhongdian Town, with plans to renovate them into hostels. However, by 2020, Tsering Dondrub had still not found a partner who was willing to renovate the three houses, which otherwise would be torn down.
In May 2020, Nanjing-based bookstore brand Librairie Avant-Garde opened a branch in a village in Shaxi ancient town, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. Founder Qian Xiaohua and rotating chairman Zhang Ruifeng soon started looking for other opportunities in the province.
When Tsering Dondrub first showed them the three ramshackle Tibetan houses, they were quite impressed. A year later, when they viewed the houses again, Qian decided to rent them. They invited architect Zhao Yang to design the renovation plan.
In 2022, when Zhao first saw the three run-down Tibetan houses standing in the field, he was surprised to find that the wooden structure of the three houses is different from those of the houses of the Han people in their building logic. In the wooden structure of a Han house, the pillars on the ground and first floors are often a single piece of wood. However, the pillars on the ground floor of a Tibetan house were shorter, more slender and simpler than those on the first floor. The ground floor was inhabited by livestock and the first floor by people. “I see it as a precious anthropological legacy that we should carefully preserve,” he says.
The three houses were renovated for books, coffee, and creative cultural products, with efforts made to preserve all original wooden structures. Overlooking the Haba Snow Mountain across the Jinsha River, the bookstore offers 15,000 books on humanities and social sciences, 100 types of creative cultural products, and materials on local cultures, geography, languages, and history.
“It’s great to find many books on Tibetans and Shangri-La here. These books can connect different cultures,” says Tsering Dondrub.
16．Why did Tsering Dondrub buy the three traditional Tibetan houses
A．To transform them into guest houses.
B．To develop the rural tourism.
C．To protect cultural heritage.
D．To open a branch of the bookstore.
17．What does the underlined word “ramshackle” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Spacious. B．Expensive.
C．Luxurious. D．Shabby.
18．What is the unique feature of the three houses
A．Stronger pillars on the ground floor.
B．The different wooden structure.
C．Typical Tibetan architecture.
D．Modern architectural design.
19．What’s Tsering Dondrub’s attitude to the renovation of the houses
A．Approving. B．Critical.
C．Neutral. D．Doubtful.
I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, where an amazingly rich cooking tradition that has been perfected for thousands of years taught me the love of good food. Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America!
I have Armenian heritage, which means that I have recipes passed down to me from my mother. I got my love of cooking from her. My two children have had the chance to enjoy food from everywhere in the world. They don’t find it remarkable at all that in the same week, they could go on a worldwide cuisine journey that could include sushi, samosas, tamales, and tabboulch. Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city.
A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood.
When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet.
20．What can we learn about the author’s childhood food experience
A．She was exposed to global cuisines early. B．She rarely had chance to try foreign foods.
C．She didn’t like Lebanese cooking traditions. D．She was affected by family’s cooking habits.
21．The rich food experiences allow the author’s children to ______.
A．become picky caters B．improve cooking skills
C．develop cultural appreciation D．value family heritage
22．Why does the author mention pasta and fried eggs in paragraph 3
A．To illustrate the link between food and health.
B．To explain Canadians’ simple food vocabulary.
C．To show Italians’ attitude toward healthy food.
D．To state different food values between cultures.
23．Which can best describe UBC’s current food culture
A．Nutritious. B．Healthy. C．Diverse. D．Tasty.

How pre-cooked food options are here to stay
The growing popularity of pre-cooked food in China-also known as the ready-meals industry — has made it a capital darling (宠儿).
Deloitte’s consumer goods and retail industry head, Zhang Tianbing, now says China’s pre-prepared food market looks to have a(n) 54 future, with the business becoming more mature. “Pre-prepared dishes meet the preferences of a new generation of consumers for healthier and a wider 55 of meals,” Zhang said.

Therefore, as of June alone, there were more than 66,000 domestic pre-cook-related enterprises, of which more than 1,020 were newly registered this year.
As a new capital darling, the pre-cooking industry is attracting cross-sector investment from companies outside the 58 industry. In Zhuhai, the local government is preparing to build a vegetable industrial park, which will cover all aspects of the pre-made-food industrial chain, from raw materials and production to 59 and sales.
However, the quality of pre-made dishes in the market varies, as problems are 60 the lack of detailed labeling on such products, as well as difficulties in logistics (物流) and distribution. 61 , the issue of restaurants using pre-made dishes without telling diners was included among the top complaints. For those who 62 food safety, without advance notice, the use of pre-prepared dishes by restaurants to replace those prepared on-site by a chef was harmful to consumers’ rights to information and choice.

The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavour of all the special foods. “I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have 81 hours doing all the work!” Mrs. Black said to my mother. “The girls 82 the cutting and I’m sorry they did such a 83 job,” said Mother.

A Chinese language teacher shares her teaching methods
如何教外国人快乐学中文？
Chen Hui, an international Chinese education teacher, has been teaching at the Confucius Institute at the University of Novi Sad (诺维萨德大学) in Serbia for seven years.
Last year, the 45-year-old gave a Mid-Autumn Festival-themed class for Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s 8-year-old son and his friends. “They watched an animated video about the festival and asked about Chinese mythology (神话), such as why Chang’e can fly to the moon after eating the elixir (神药),” said Chen.
With a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in linguistics (语言学), Chen’s journey into international Chinese education began with teaching international students at Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University. Her teaching career led her to apply for a position at the Confucius Institute, a collaboration (合作) between her university and the University of Novi Sad.
Teaching Chinese abroad typically requires a Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (CTCSOL, 国际中文教师证书). The CTCSOL exam’s content resembles (与……相似) that of the qualification test for Chinese language teachers in domestic middle schools. No matter your professional background, getting this certificate means you’re qualified to teach.
“The greatest challenge for most teachers of international Chinese education is to teach students of various ages and backgrounds, which requires different teaching methods,” said Chen. Besides standard courses for HSK (汉语水平考试), for younger learners, Chen designs interactive activities like kite-making to make learning Chinese more enjoyable. For older students, she tailors lessons based on individual interests. For example, one student loves Chinese pop songs, such as Melody by David Zee Tao (陶喆). So, Chen encouraged him to learn the language through songs.
When teaching government officials and university professors, Chen delves into a broad range of topics related to China and its development. During classes with Marina Sokovic, the assistant minister of the Department of Science in Serbia, Chen engaged her in conversational practice. They discussed Chinese beverages (饮料), with Sokovic expressing a liking for Moutai.
Serbia currently hosts three Confucius Institutes. “As Chinese language education gains momentum (动力), I see a bright future for the profession, with more young people joining the ranks of international Chinese educators, infusing (注入) the field with energy and vitality,” noted Chen.
Three Main Employment Channels
● Training institutions
Domestic and international Chinese teaching institutions, both online and offline, offer diverse opportunities for language instructors. On foreign teaching platforms like Preply, hourly wages vary, with rates reaching up to $20-30 per hour.
● Companies
More foreign companies are entering China these days, while Chinese companies are expanding globally. This requires qualified Chinese teachers to work in companies to provide Chinese language training for foreign employees.
● Teachers dispatched overseas
Chinese language teachers sent abroad usually fall into two groups: volunteer teachers and State-sponsored (公派的) teachers. Volunteer teachers are recruited (招聘) by Chinese universities affiliated with Confucius Institutes. State-sponsored teachers are recruited and managed by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (中外语言交流合作中心).

Philadelphia, often referred to as Philly, is a major city located along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, a state in the northeastern United States. Founded in the 1680s by an Englishman William Penn, who also planned its layout (布局), the city was named Philadelphia—a word Penn understood to mean “city of brotherly love” in Greek.
Philadelphia served as the nation’s capital from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders declared independence and later debated the creation of a government.
Near the park stands National Liberty (自由) Museum, housing over ninety paintings and sculptures, which represent the idea that liberty is a freedom that is easily broken. Several blocks away lies National Constitution (美国宪法) Center, a privately operated nonprofit museum that opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. The museum was created to elevate public recognition of the Constitution, its history and its importance today. Visitors here are presented with the idea that the most important part of American constitutional democracy (立宪民主) is the individual citizen.
Philadelphia also offers plenty for visitors who are less concerned about history and more concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for foodies, including a typical sandwich—the Philly cheesesteak, usually made of thin pieces of meat covered with cheese, offered with onions and other toppings and served on a long roll.

The aim was to support long-term and environmentally friendly progress.(1992年，吴哥窟被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，这标志着该国复兴进程中的一个重要里程碑。保护和开发这一文化遗址的行动是国际solidarity的典范，也是联合国教科文组织最重要的成就之一。三十个国家和一批专家齐聚一堂，共同开展科学项目，修复这些令人惊叹的遗址，旨在支持长期且环保的可持续发展。)”可知，保护和发展这一文化遗址的行动是国际合作的典型例子，故solidarity意思是“共同努力”。A.

15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The large site now supports 700,000 local people and attracts some five million visitors whose flow (流动量) must be controlled each year. The local organizations in charge are carrying out several projects to encourage better development of the tourism industry. In this way, they hope to improve the lives of communities.(这个大型遗址现在养活了70万当地人，每年吸引约500万游客，游客流量必须每年得到控制。负责的当地组织正在开展几个项目，以鼓励旅游业的更好发展。通过这种方式，他们希望改善社区的生活。)”可推知，旅游业正在改善以造福当地生活。故选B。
Shangri-La was a key staging post in the Yunnan-Xizang branch of the Ancient Tea-Horse Caravan Route, a trade route that started in the Tang Dynasty and prospered in the Ming and Qing dynasties connecting Pu’er in Yunnan with Lhasa in today’s Xizang Autonomous Region.
About seven years ago, Tsering Dondrub, a 33-year-old business owner in Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, bought three traditional Tibetan houses in Wugong Village, Xiaozhongdian Town, with plans to renovate them into hostels. However, by 2020, Tsering Dondrub had still not found a partner who was willing to renovate the three houses, which otherwise would be torn down.
In May 2020, Nanjing-based bookstore brand Librairie Avant-Garde opened a branch in a village in Shaxi ancient town, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. Founder Qian Xiaohua and rotating chairman Zhang Ruifeng soon started looking for other opportunities in the province.
When Tsering Dondrub first showed them the three ramshackle Tibetan houses, they were quite impressed. A year later, when they viewed the houses again, Qian decided to rent them. They invited architect Zhao Yang to design the renovation plan.
In 2022, when Zhao first saw the three run-down Tibetan houses standing in the field, he was surprised to find that the wooden structure of the three houses is different from those of the houses of the Han people in their building logic. In the wooden structure of a Han house, the pillars on the ground and first floors are often a single piece of wood. However, the pillars on the ground floor of a Tibetan house were shorter, more slender and simpler than those on the first floor. The ground floor was inhabited by livestock and the first floor by people. “I see it as a precious anthropological legacy that we should carefully preserve,” he says.
The three houses were renovated for books, coffee, and creative cultural products, with efforts made to preserve all original wooden structures. Overlooking the Haba Snow Mountain across the Jinsha River, the bookstore offers 15,000 books on humanities and social sciences, 100 types of creative cultural products, and materials on local cultures, geography, languages, and history.
“It’s great to find many books on Tibetans and Shangri-La here. These books can connect different cultures,” says Tsering Dondrub.
16．Why did Tsering Dondrub buy the three traditional Tibetan houses

C．To protect cultural heritage.
D．To open a branch of the bookstore.
17．What does the underlined word “ramshackle” mean in Paragraph 4

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了云南香格里拉藏族商人Tsering Dondrub将三栋濒临拆毁的老藏式木屋，联合南京先锋书店及建筑师赵扬，改造成集图书、咖啡与文创于一体的文化空间的过程。
16．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“About seven years ago, Tsering Dondrub, a 33-year-old business owner in Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, bought three traditional Tibetan houses in Wugong Village, Xiaozhongdian Town, with plans to renovate them into hostels.(大约七年前，33岁的Tsering Dondrub是云南省香格里拉的一位企业主，他在小中甸镇吴公村买了三栋传统的藏族房屋，并计划将它们改造成旅馆。)”可知，Tsering Dondrub购买三栋藏式老宅的初衷就是将其改造成旅舍。故选A项。
17．词句猜测题。根据第二段的句子“However, by 2020, Tsering Dondrub had still not found a partner who was willing to renovate the three houses, which otherwise would be torn down.(然而，到2020年，Tsering Dondrub仍然没有找到一个愿意翻新这三所房子的合作伙伴，否则这些房子将被拆除。)”和第五段的句子“In 2022, when Zhao first saw the three run-down Tibetan houses standing in the field, he was surprised to find that the wooden structure of the three houses is different from those of the houses of the Han people in their building logic.(2022年，当赵第一次看到田野里矗立着的三所破旧的藏族房屋时，他惊讶地发现，这三所房屋的木结构在建筑逻辑上与汉族房屋不同。)”可知，三所房子破旧不堪、急需翻修，“When Tsering Dondrub first showed them the three ramshackle Tibetan houses, they were quite impressed.(当Tsering Dondrub第一次向他们展示这三所ramshackle藏式房屋时，他们印象深刻)”中划线单词ramshackle与run-down的意义一致，为“摇摇欲坠的，破烂不堪的”，与形容词shabby同义。故选D项。
18．细节理解题。根据第五段“In 2022, when Zhao first saw the three run-down Tibetan houses standing in the field, he was surprised to find that the wooden structure of the three houses is different from those of the houses of the Han people in their building logic. In the wooden structure of a Han house, the pillars on the ground and first floors are often a single piece of wood. However, the pillars on the ground floor of a Tibetan house were shorter, more slender and simpler than those on the first floor. The ground floor was inhabited by livestock and the first floor by people. “I see it as a precious anthropological legacy that we should carefully preserve,” he says.(2022 年，赵扬第一次看到田野中矗立的这三座破败藏式民居时，惊讶地发现其木结构的建造逻辑与汉族民居不同。汉族民居的木结构中，地面层与二层的柱子往往是整根木材。而藏式民居的地面层柱子比二层的更短、更纤细、构造也更简单——地面层用于饲养牲畜，二层则供人居住。“我认为这是珍贵的人类学遗产，我们应当小心保护。” 他说。)”可知，这三座房屋是藏式民居，其独特之处是它不同的木结构。故选B项。
19．推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’ s great to find many books on Tibetans and Shangri-La here. These books can connect different cultures,” says Tsering Dondrub.(“在这里找到很多关于西藏人和香格里拉的书，真是太棒了。这些书可以连接不同的文化，”Tsering Dondrub说。)”可知，Tsering Dondrub认为在这里能找到许多关于藏族人和香格里拉的书籍真是太棒了，这些书籍可以连接不同的文化。由此可推断，他对房屋的改造是认可的，持赞同态度。故选A项。
I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, where an amazingly rich cooking tradition that has been perfected for thousands of years taught me the love of good food. Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America!
I have Armenian heritage, which means that I have recipes passed down to me from my mother. I got my love of cooking from her. My two children have had the chance to enjoy food from everywhere in the world. They don’t find it remarkable at all that in the same week, they could go on a worldwide cuisine journey that could include sushi, samosas, tamales, and tabboulch. Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city.
A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood.
When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet.
