Interview questions included:
(If you are listening in class, you could ask a partner the interview questions, then choose one or more of the speakers and note their answers.)

- If I go to your country, which dishes do you recommend for the first time?
- What about the typical taste? Is it salty? sweet? spicy?
- Do you miss your national food?
- Have you cooked your national food yourself?
If no, do you want to learn how to cook it?
If yes, does it help you to miss it less?
- What is the difference between your national food and English food?
