Hi
Could you help me check these two paragraphs.
Thank you very much

As a nation that places much importance on eating, it is natural that food is emphasized during this New Year period. Rice cake is a traditional food served on New Year’s Day.

2. This course is called Family fortune delight.
Ingredients are fresh squid?eggs?carrot?lean pork ?green onions?ginger slices?mushroom?snow peas and tree ear. This course symbolizes an abundance of all good things. It is said to be bring prosperity.

Is course the correct word? Do you perhaps mean recipe (a set of instructions on making a food dish)?
1. As a nation that places much importance on eating, it is natural that food is emphasized during this New Year period. Sorry, Julielai, I do not agree with your changes here. This sentence is fine as it is, emphasising food as an element of a celebration does not necessarily mean t

Nona,
The word "course" is a bit confusing, but the word can mean "a part of a meal served as a unit at one time" (dictionary.com). During the Chinese New Year, Chinese eat many courses -- poultry, vegetable, soup, beef, fish, shrimp . . . ten courses, to say the least.
Re: #1:
I'm Chinese myself and I can safely say that Chinese eat a lot during the New Year. (You guys

Hello all
I thought I could smell food.
There is something odd about the sentence that begins: 'As a nation that
places much importance on eating...' I think it's the fact that there's
no grammatical connection between the two clauses. It might be worth
considering: ''As China is a nation that places much importance on
eating...'
Also, it shou

Just my 2¢. Hope no one minds if I help myself to a few of these. Hmm.
Not bad...
No, not at all. We could use all the help we can get. Hope to see you here more often.

Question for you guys:
Doesn't it sound strange to have "eating" as a national emphasis? After all, it's a cultural custom, not a national practice.
Besides, many overseas Chinese still follow the custom.

Hello Julielai
If I understand correctly, I suppose 'the Chinese nation' [= nation] could be regarded
as a subset of 'all the Chinese people in the world' [= culture].
Whether the statements are true or not is another matter...
I agree with your original point, though: that the 'As a nation...' clause doesn't relate to
a subject in the following clause, and
