    Two months ago, every app on my phone wanted me to know "11/11" was coming. I asked a friend 1it was a special holiday.

    She laughed and said it's a 2 holiday. "It's just like Black Friday," she explained. After getting the answer, I actually hoped she was 3.

    As we know, Black Friday is the day 4 Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the 5 US holiday. It's a holiday that does not need us to take part in any rush for goods. Yes, we should buy turkeys, the traditional food on this special day. And we also invite friends and family to6. Usually each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the big 7. It's a day to be 8 not for turkeys, but for the people we care about.

    Black Friday is the next day. Starting around 4 a.m., thousands of people crowd 9 of stores and malls. When the doors open, they rush into the stores. What are they doing?

    On Black Friday, many things are on 10. But if you don't pay for them quickly, they will be sold out soon. As a result, it's "11" for people to "fight" with each other for cheap TVs and computers—even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people 12 the peace of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become crazy consumers(消费者).

    13 for "11/11", I opened Taobao to look for winter clothes in advance(提前). Two hours later, I found 14a crazy consumer too. 15 I didn't fight in the crowded stores, I got lost among all kinds of goods and kept buying things I didn't really need. Maybe my friend is right in some way, "11/11" is like Black Friday.

    Besides chopsticks vs. knives and forks, there are more differences between Chinese and western dinning.

    Cooking methods

    While westerners boil, fry roast and bake, Chinese use more methods of cooking, like frying, stewing, boiling and steaming. Besides, Chinese cooks cut everything into small pieces, so people don't need knives to cut it but just pick up their food with chopsticks. Westerners cook food in big pieces and serve it with knives and forks for cutting it up.

    Ingredients and spices

    Chinese dishes use many ingredients seldom seen in western cooking, like animal feet, ears, tongues and so on. Chinese usually use animal or peanut oil to fry food; westerners use more butter and olive oil. Chinese cooks like to add spices when cooking, like ginger, pepper, garlic, etc. Western cooks usually use pepper powder, mustard(芥末), and tomato ketchup(番茄酱), etc.

    Serving the dishes

    On the western table, vegetable soup or salad is usually served as the starter, then the main course includes beef, chicken or fish. After the main course, normally some sweet food is served, which can be ice cream, cakes, fruits, etc.

    On the Chinese table, the cold dishes and drinking are first. After that, kinds of meat and vegetable dishes are served, to be followed by soup. Then Chinese usually have rice, noodles or dumplings as main course. At last, Chinese like having fresh fruit such as watermelons and pears after meal. That can make one feel fresh and cool in his mouth and stomach.

    Placing the dishes

    In western dinner, dishes are served in each person's own plate. So each person uses a big plate. In China, dishes are served at the middle of the table for all to share, and each person uses a small plate in front of him or her to hold the food.
