We all need food. But when you can't finish your meal, how do you 1 ? You might think that wasting 2 food isn't a big deal. The truth is that people in China waste 35 million tons of food each year. It's nearly one third of food waste in the world. As we all know, food waste becomes a 3 problem in China.

In order to 4 food waste, the government has started the "Clean Plate Campaign (运动)". Especially in restaurants, we can see 5 of the "Clean Plate" on the wall. Many restaurants remind their customers that they shouldn't 6 too much food. According to the law passed in April, 2021, if the restaurants always mislead (误导) customers to order too many dishes, they will face a fine (罚款). Restaurants in Wuhan have begun the N-l system, which means groups of customers are supposed to order one fewer dish than the number of people in the group. For example, a group of 7 people can order 7 dishes at most. Most restaurants provide customers with free packing boxes (打包盒), and customers can use 8 to take the leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.

Today, more and more people start to realize the importance of 9 food. Everyone should play a part in the "Clean Plate Campaign" and say 10 to food waste.

The Communist Party of China (the CPC，中国共产党)was founded(成立) in 1921. People around the city have held all kinds of activities to celebrate the100^th anniversary(纪念日).

In the City Art Museum, citizens(市民) show great interest in hundreds of paintings about the history of the CPC. The art show has 3 themes about the CPC. Some paintings describe Chinese people's poor and painful lives in the past. Some show that the CPC overcame difficulties and led Chinese to build the People's Republic of China(中华人民共和国). Others tell citizens about great changes that have taken place in China in the last 100 years. Seeing these paintings, a lot of citizens have a better understanding of the CPC and feel lucky to live in new China. Li Hua enjoys all the paintings and says，"It's amazing that China has progressed in such a rapid way."

Besides the painting show, a speech competition gets tons of attention. Tangtang lakes part in it. He says that the CPC has given him a lot of chances to achieve his China dream—to become an excellent writer. As a party member, he makes an effort to serve people without thinking about himself. He often sends books to the children in the mountain villages. He also writes a lot of beautiful poems about our country. He thinks these poems are his best gifts to the 100^th anniversary.

From these activities, we have realized there would be no China without the Communist Party.

Have you ever taken traditional Chinese medicine? Do you like its taste? Some people dislike it because of its bitter (苦的) taste, but more and more people are becoming interested in traditional Chinese medicine for the reason that it's an effective way to cure (治疗) illnesses. For example, if you have a sore throat, you could drink hot water with Gancao.

Chinese people have been using traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Before the western medicine appeared in China, Chinese doctors went to the mountains to pick herbs (草药). Then they made the herbs into Chinese medicine soup to cure patients. When we talk about Chinese medicine, we always think of Li Shizhen, one of the most famous doctors in ancient China. He used to travel in the countryside with a bag of herbs and cure patients. He spent 27 years writing Compendium of Material Medica (《本草纲目》).

In 2020, COVID-19 (新型冠状病毐）hit China and many other countries. Ever since then, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the fight against COVID-19. It's reported that 91.5% of the COVID-19 patients in China received the traditional Chinese medicine treatment (治疗), and it worked well on more than 90% of these patients. In September, 2020, Zhang Boli was honored as "the People's Hero" for his contributions (贡献). Zhang shared the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine like LianhuaQingwen with foreign doctors.

In a word, traditional Chinese medicine is the treasure of China.
