雅思口語話題：Describe a kind of food people eat during a special event.

春節(jié)過完了，接著就是團(tuán)團(tuán)圓圓的元宵節(jié)。元宵節(jié)從何而得名呢， 無錫雅思班在這里給大家科普一點(diǎn)兒小知識(shí)，元宵節(jié)是正月之后的個(gè)重要節(jié)日，正月是農(nóng)歷的元月，古人稱夜為“宵”，所以把一年中個(gè)月圓之夜正月十五稱為元宵節(jié)。元宵節(jié)，肯定是要吃元宵了， 今天我們就來結(jié)合這道雅思口語新題 “Describe a kind of food people eat during the special event.” 來學(xué)習(xí)如何描述吧！

The Lantern Festival or the Spring Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calender. It marks the final day of the traditional Chinese new year celebrations, traditionally we would eat glutinous rice balls, which are a popular Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and either cooked and served in boiling water with fermented glutinous rice or deep fried.

Tangyuan can be either small or large, unfilled or filled with red beans, sesame, peanut, and other sweet fillings that ooze out from the mochi-like dumpling skins. The dumpling skins owe their pleasantly gummy texture to glutinous rice flour which produces a chewy dough. Unlike in ancient times, these glutinous rice balls can be easily grabbed at any time point and everywhere these days. But, I’ve always believed that life should have some sense of ritual, and to eat glutinous rice ball symbolizes family reunion.
