Food around the world

This week, I read "Food around the world". 

     Our body needs lots of different nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.

"Proteins are also important for healthy hair and fingernails."

I don't know very well about nutrient's effect for body, but especially I was surprised that proteins are important for fingernails. Eating a balanced diet with a lot of nutrients is necessary.

     Some of our favorite foods have a long history. 5,500 years ago, Native Americans made popcorn by cooking the corn over a fire. People enjoyed eating the hot popcorn. This is popcorn's history. Native Americans also invented chocolate about 2,000 years ago. First they dried cacao seeds and crashed. Then they added chili peppers and water, so 

"the chocolate drink wasn't sweet-it was bitter!"

I didn't know the fact. I learned many things from the book. Present sweet chocolate was made by Spanish, And a Swiss chocolate maker invented a chocolate candy with milk. It is milk chocolate!

     Every country has typical dishes that are popular with local people. For example, in Italy pasta and pizza are typical dishes. In addition, there are many dishes in the world such as Brazil's pao de queijo, Turkey's simit, UK's custard,  Indonesia's Alpokat, and Morocco's tajine... When I visit foreign country, I would like to challenge typical dishes.

Pocahontas

イメージ
  This week, I read "Pocahontas". This is a book about an woman who prevented war during two countries. When I started to read this book, I thought she would get married with John Smith who is a English leader, but they didn't get marry, and Pocahontas got marrired with another man.      "I loved you so much, but now I have a son and a husband, and they love me. You and I cannot be friends. Goodbye, John Smith."(p,39) This is Pocahontas's serif. I thought this part is interesting, because she blames him over and over, and I can understand her feeling. I couldn't understand Smith's feeling, and I was surprised at an unexpected development. This story was made into a movie by disney. I have never watched it, so I want to watch this movie, when I get a chance. Oxford Bookworms Library: Level 1: : Pocahontas 著者 : TimVicary Oxford University Press, USA 発売日 : 2007-12-06 ブクログでレビューを見る»

Today,I read "Bad dog? Good dog!". "You are very bad dog but you are a very good father."(p16) Yoon-Hee and Ji-Sung were asked to go shopping. When they walked the street, they saw their friend, Farina. They walked the store with her dog, Dingo. Ji-Sung and Dingo waited outside of the store. Suddenly, Dingo ran. He took the meat. He gave the meat to the puppies. It is awesome. It is a happy story. Thank you.
