As a foreigner, the first time I ate hot pot was in Chongqing, China. The hot pot restaurant was one of the largest and 1 busiest places in the city. In the restaurant, hundreds 2 of people were crowded into one large room. My friend and I sat at a table with 3 a large pot in the middle. It was an amazing experience. I 4 really couldn’t forget it.
Today, the hot pot is one of the most popular forms of cooking in China, and nearly every town and city has some hot pot 5 restaurants. Some people might ask how hot pot becomes so popular. With a hot pot, you can 6 put in any food that you like. The same pot can serve any number of different meals to the people sitting around the table. Everyone can eat as much 7 as they want and no one is left out. This 8 is one of the values of Chinese culture. Finally, not only does hot pot taste wonderful, but it is the perfect way 9 to spend time with others.
In China, people often joke that there’s no problem that a hot pot can’t solve. Over a hot pot, people can talk about not just food, but friendship. The food may soon be forgotten, 10 but the friendship will stay with us forever. Even today, I remember all the good times I spent with my friends in Chongqing.

Dear passenger 15A,
You do not know me. I was seated in front of you during the flight from Singapore to Sydney on April 12th.
I write this letter to thank you.
Though I bought an economy seat, you offered me a full-back massage (按摩) by 1 (kicking).
I didn’t pay for the in-flight entertainment package and I was 2 (worried) that I might get bored. But my worry was unnecessary. You were talking so 3 (loudly), as if your friend was seated far away from you. Perhaps she was hard of hearing? For the 4 (first) time in my life, I wished I had a hearing problem.
Could you tell me where you bought those 5 (snacks)? They must be delicious 6 (because) you got one open every 30 minutes. Thanks for the loud chewing (咀嚼) sounds!
At this point, I thought, “It can’t get any 7 (better) than this.” But immediately, my nose was assaulted (使难受) by 8 (a) terrible smell. It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and put your feet 9 (between) my seat and the plane window.
Did you know that you had made 10 (me) a more religious (虔诚的) person? I said more prayers in that eight-hour flight than I had in my former life.
Thank you once again.
Yours,
Passenger 14A
