Hot Pot(火锅) and Hotpot

I'm learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people's favorite food, including(包括) me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to　 be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen,_I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.

To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.

Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!

Where do you go on a school trip every spring? In the UK, students go to many great places. They see swans and ducks in wetlands. They pick up shells (贝壳) at the seaside.

In Japan, cherries (樱花) are blooming (盛开的) by the beginning of April. Kids have picnic lunches, sing karaoke (卡拉OK) and dance under the trees. They also go boating and hiking. They take baths in hot springs (温泉).

In China, kids often take school trips in parks, museums or to a mountain. These days, outward bound (野外扩展) trips are very popular. Kids can learn about survival skills (生存技巧) and teamwork during these trips.

School trips can be great fun. But don’t get hurt when you travel outdoors. Here are some tips for you.
