A Delicious Meal
Tony is Chinese American. His family members gather together and serve a traditional Chinese meal once a week. Last week Tony （invite）his friend Amy for it.
Tony's family was （prepare）dinner when Amy arrived. The family was cooking vegetables with hot oil. The kitchen was filled many good smells. "You can help me set the table." Tony told his friend. They gave each person a pair of (chopstick), a soup bowl, a soup spoon, and a rice bowl on a plate.
"Where are the forks and knives?" Amy asked.
"Oh, you won't those." Tony explained." I will show you how to use chopsticks. Don't worry."
Tony's mother put different foods which were unfamiliar to Amy onto big plates. She asked the kids to carry the food-filled plates out to the table. Amy carried roast duck. It was one of the few dishes she (recognize).
Amy was a little nervous about eating with chopsticks. Tony gave her instructions on how to do it. Amy finally managed to hold the chopsticks. Just when she picked up a piece of chicken in her chopsticks, her fingers suddenly (lose) control of them, and the chicken flew across the table. It landed in Tony's soup with a splash(飞溅). Everyone at the table ( smile).
Tony's father kindly brought out a fork and knife. He handed them to Amy. Amy felt more comfortable. She ate the rest of her dinner easily. It was delicious!
the end of the meal, Amy was given a fortune cookie(签语饼干). She broke it open and read the small note inside," If you practice hard, you will learn many things." Amy laughed and said," if you let me ( take) home a pair of chopsticks, my fortune may come true!
