First of all， the making method of Chinese food is different from Western-style food.
In Western-style food cookbook， various ingredients such as the flour， sugar， butter etc. have been indicated several grams， several spoons or several cups， even the size of the egg will all be explained. I think it is like a testing laboratory. So， making Western-style food is easy， so long as you according to cookbook manual.

Everybody sits around table while 9 Chinese food， everybody is eating the dish in the same plate， the hospitable host will also nip the dish into your bowl， it is so friendly. The friendship between person and person is deeper after a meal.
Third， the way that Chinese and western praise food is different.
Chinese praise food， will generally say： “Your dish is cooked very excellently， has caught up with the level of the restaurant”；but western praise food， will say just like what the home make. 阅读短文，按要求完成下列任务题：
