It’s not joke. From September, cookery will be a compulsory(必修的) course for kids aged 7-14 in the UK. Primary school students will learn how to put things together and make simple, healthy food.‎ ‎ At high school, students will then master a number of different meals. They will also learn some cooking skills including baking. Britain is sometimes known as a country with bad food and unhealthy eating habits. These new courses are part of the country’s effort to bring healthy food back onto the table. “One in four British families no longer have a table that everyone can eat around. One out of every two meals we eat is eaten alone. Only four out of ten of us enjoy eating meals with our children,” British writer Joanna Blythman wrote in her book Bad Food Britain: How A Nation Ruined Its Appetite(胃口) in 2019. Instead, ready meals have become the first choice for many British kids, because their parents are often too busy to cook a proper meal. The Department for Education hopes that the cookery courses can introduce children to good food and reduce childhood obesity. “It’s important that children can develop an interest and understanding of good food,” said a spokesman for the department.‎ ‎ “ We want to encourage them to develop a love of food and cooking that will stay with them as they grow up.”‎ 31.

Something that sounds rude in one country may be the most polite thing to do in another. Here lists some of them.‎ ‎ Spitting ‎ People think spitting on or at someone is one of the worst behaviors, and the police even consider it is a kind of attack. But in Africa, the members of the Maasai have a different way of seeing things. When polite children pass by, their elders usually spit at them. Of course, they do this with best wishes. They wish children to live a long life. They also spit on any gift they are about to give. When they move into a new house, they first go outside and spit in the four directions.‎ ‎ Flowers ‎ Flowers are usually sent when people have parties, visit friends, thank others and so on. But sometimes it’s rude to give flowers. In Germany and France people use carnations(康乃馨)to decorate tombs(墓碑). Yellow flowers represent hate in Russian ‎ and Iran, and purple flowers are bad luck in Italy and Brazil. Even the number of flowers can be rude. In France and America, an even(偶数) number of flowers is for happiness and odd numbers are for sadness.‎ ‎ Cleaning your plate ‎ When we were young, our parents always told us to clean our plate and not to waste food. However, in some countries, a clean plate may make trouble for the host. In Philippines, North Africa, and some areas of China, the host will put more food on a plate once it is clean. Only when a guest leaves a little bit of food on his plate, the host will think he is full. Or a clean plate means the gust doesn’t get good service.‎ ‎ To do the right thing when we are in other places, we’d better respect and follow the traditions, even though we think they are strange.‎ 36.
