My Favorite Dish

Pelmeni is my favorite ethnic dish. Flour, milk, eggs, salt, onions, garlic, pepper, chicken meat are the ingredients needed. The dough is made from the flour, milk, eggs, salt all mixed. The chicken, onion, garlic, pepper are chopped. From dough little round circles are made meat put in the center. Everything is put in pan in hot water, and boiled 5 minute. Served with sour cream, it’s is a very tasty dish. Because I always liked this dish, this dish is from my childhood.

My Favorite Ethnic Food

Sushi is my favorite ethnic dish, it is famous in Japan, It is easy to make.  It is easy to make. You have to prepare  some  ingredients : fresh fish ( tuna, salmon…)wasabi:   ginger;  soy source:  rise was cooked ; seaweed  are needed .   No  cook  for sushi, you can roll the rise was cooked with some vegetable  for example avocado , carrot and seaweed by special equipment of  Japan and then put it out  the dish,  and put the fresh fish on the top, How to eat? You only put it into the soy source with wasabi and ginger and enjoy it. There is something warning for you when you eat, it is too hot. Why is this  my favorite? Because it is good for heath, there are many proteins and vitamins in it.

My Childhood

I  was  born in a big family, 6 brothers  and  3 sisters. My  parents  worked very  hard. We helped them to stay  with little children, clean,  wash  dishes, and sometimes  cook. In  the  evening  we went outside to play. We  played  from  7:00p.m to 9:00p.m. My father  sometimes  worked  in the evening. When  he  was at  work,  we played  for a long time, from 8:00p.m to 11:00p.m. One  time  we played hide and  seek.  I counted  for a long  time before  I looked for my  friend. It  was  very  dark and I  could not  find him.
He was hiding  in the straw.  I was very  tired, but I  enjoyed this  game.

My Childhood

I remember going to school when I was 12 years old. I lived to go to school. I had two very good   friends at school. Many times we stayed during the first class, but then we would leave.        we  went  out  to  eat  grapes  that  were  500  meters from the school. We did not have good sweet grapes at home. After many times, we went back to school. The parents did not know but one day, my friends parents found out what we were doing at school. When I returned home from school, was punished by parents. After that I never ate grapes, but I began to learn very well in school.

Mihail

My Childhood

I remember one day my family and I went to the river to swim but I couldn’t swim so I walked away from them. I went so far in the water that my family didn’t see me. 10 minutes later they all left. I was in the water over my head and alone. I didn’t know how to swim. I jumped up and down in the water. I wanted my family to see me and help but they were gone. So I tried to yell for them and jumped up to keep my head above the water. No one was there to help me so it was up to me to save myself. I kept jumping forward in the water until my head was above the water. I finally got to the shore and safety. I walked home and told my family what happened to me. I will never forget about that.

My Childhood

I remember I was 12 years old. We were at home with my best friend. We sat under the tree and ate cookie and drank coca cola. Suddenly I saw one big avocado falling down on my head. My mom came to give me some medicine so I could sleep. When I woke up I went to the avocado tree and I told the man who worked for my home to cut this tree down. After that I went to jump on an orange tree but I didn’t know how to jump so I broke my leg.
