Describe a kind of food that people eat during special events

You should say:

  • What it is;
  • What event people usually eat it / why people eat it;
  • How it cooked;
  • And explain how you feel about this kind of food.

Sample Answer

I’m going to talk about dumplings. In fact, in China, dumplings are a kind of traditional must-eat food at almost every important holiday event. But since making dumplings isn’t exactly a piece of cake, people don’t make dumplings every day.

Anyway, as I just mentioned, we eat dumplings to celebrate a ton of special days and events like New Year’s, the beginning of winter, weddings, or even a housewarming party. I remember I read somewhere that Chinese people like eating dumplings because its name in Mandarin sounds like a type of ancient money, so dumplings mean good fortune in Chinese culture as well. Plus, dumplings are really tasty; they’re absolutely to die for, honestly. I don’t know if you’ve tried them before, but almost everyone I know loves eating dumplings.

As for the recipe, um…first of all, you have to prepare the dough and the stuffing, which is made of all kinds of meats and vegetables. And then you need to make the dough into dumpling skins and wrap them. After that, the dumplings need to be cooked in a pot with boiling water. You can start having them when they look fluffy.

I love dumplings, especially ones stuffed with pork and green onion. Normally I can pack away at least twenty of them. Besides, I like making them with my family because we can have a chit-chat while making dumplings together. It’s a great bonding experience for all of us.
