It takes a certain number of skills to hold the chopsticks properly so as to be able to pinch（夹紧） the food tightly enough to move it from the bowl to one’s mouth．It took months for me to learn this skill，even with the patient advice of my Chinese friends．The tips（尖端），but on the journey to my mouth it would always drop back onto the table．Finally，I learned to use chopsticks．It was either that or went hungry to death．
Cultures can often be described by their cooking：the kind of food，the way it cooked and the way it’s eaten．For Chinese，food isn’t just eaten for the body．It is one of life’s joys and is worth respect．In that sense（复杂巧妙的） culture．
