My script for presentation

Hello, everyone! My name is Monica and today I am going to talk about France cuisine. Do you know third most famous cuisine in the world? Yes, answer is China, Turkey, and France. As you can see, France cuisine is already famous in all the world. I wanted to know why France cuisine is so famous and also wanted to know lot about France cuisine, since I had been there. So as I said, I will talk about France cuisine's history and 3 famous french food.

The history of French cuisine goes back to the middle ages. During this time French meals where very similar to Moorish Cuisine, and were served in a style called service en confusion, meaning that meals were served all at once. Meals consisted of spiced meats such as pork, beef, poultry, and fish. In many cases meals where determined by the season, and of what food was in abundance. Meats were salted and smoked to preserve, and vegetables were also salted and put in jars to preserve for the winter months. During this time the presentation of the meal was also very important. The more lavish and colorful the display, the better, and cooks would use edible items such as saffron, egg yolk, spinach, and sunflower for color. One of the most extravagant dinners of this time was a roast swan or peacock, which was sewn back into its skin and feathers to look intact. The feet and beak were gilded with gold to complete the spectacle. During the 15 th and 16 th centuries the French where influenced greatly by the advancing culinary arts in Italy. Much of this influenced was do Catherine De Medicis (a Florentine princess) who married Henry duc d'Orleans (who became King Henry II of France). Italian chefs where light years of ahead of French culinary experts, and had already begun creating dishes such as lasagna, manicotti, and had experimented using ingredients like truffles, garlic, and mushrooms. When Catherine married King Henry II, she brought along with her Italian chefs who in turn introduced Italian culinary practices to the French court. Even though the culinary cultures of these two countries have taken different roads, the French owe much of their culinary development to the Italians and their intervention in the 1500s. This is why the french food had a little taste of Italians. The time between the 16th and 18th centuries was also known as the Ancient Regime, and during this time Paris was referred to as “… the central hub of culture and economic activity and as such the most highly skilled culinary craftsmen were to be found there.” During the Ancient Regime food distribution was regulated by the city government in the form of guilds, and these guilds put in place restrictions that allowed certain food industries to operate in assigned areas. Guilds were separated into two groups: people who supplied the raw materials to make food, and the people who sold already prepared items. The restrictions that were put in place by guilds hampered the development of culinary arts during this time, by restricting certain chefs to assigned areas. Between the 17 th and 18 th century there was a development in Haute Cuisine or “High Cuisine”, and its origins can be found in the recipes of a chef named La Varenne. Varenne was the author of what is known today as the first “true French cookbook”. Unlike the cooking styles of the middle Ages, Verenne’s cookbook (Cvisinier François) contained new recipes which focused on more modest and less extravagant meals. This was an ongoing trend throughout the history of French cuisine, with more and more chefs continuing to tone down on the abundance of a meal, and focusing on the ingredients in the meal.

According to Wikipedia, it says that Foie gras is a food product made of the liver of a duck or goose that has been specially fattened. Foie gras is a popular and well-known delicacy in French cuisine. Its flavor is described as rich, buttery, and delicate, unlike that of an ordinary duck or goose liver. Foie gras is sold whole, or is prepared into mousse, parfait, or pâté and may also be served as an accompaniment to another food item, such as steak. French law states that "Foie gras belongs to the protected cultural and gastronomical heritage of France." The technique of gavage dates as far back as 2500 BC, when the ancient Egyptians began keeping birds for food and deliberately fattened the birds through force-feeding.[5] Today, France is by far the largest producer and consumer of foie gras, though it is produced and consumed worldwide, particularly in other European nations, the United States, and China.

Escargot is a dish of cooked land snails, usually served as an appetizer in France and in French restaurants. The word is also sometimes applied to the living snails of those species which are commonly eaten in this way. In French culture, typically the snails are purged (see below), killed, removed from their shells, and cooked (usually with garlic butter, chicken stock or wine) and then placed back into the shells together with the butter and sauce for serving. Additional ingredients may be added such as garlic, thyme, parsley and pine nuts. Special snail tongs (for holding the shell) and snail forks (for extracting the meat) are also normally provided, and they are served on indented metal trays with places for 6 or 12 snails.

This is the informations that I had got from google, and thank you for reading.

Chain Writing

Once upon a time, there was a school named K.M.L.A. There are lot of clever and smart students in this school. There rules there is pretty strict too. You have to speak English all the time. If you don't. you get told off by the teachers, and get papers that you have to memorize the paragraph.

- Monica

The students stayed in their dormitory, all over the year. But there were only two times that elementary school and middle school students were allowed to study in the school. Summer & and Winter vacation. -Clara

The camp was called GLPS. Lots of smart students from all over the World, including America, Japan, and Thailand.There were 15 classes for the elementary students.The higher the class number was, the the class gets harder. - Dabin

However, the students didn't cared a lot for it. The students just enjoyed the camp. Of course, they studied as well, although they liked to have a nice time chatting with their friend. And some certainly rare students went KMLA among the students who went to GLPS. One of these student's name was Emily. -Katherine

Emily was quite a clever student. She speaks English like native speaker. She always won first place in exam. So, lot of students felt  jealous of her. She often got into tricks that other girls made. Well, hot boys? Between boys, Emily was really popular. She was very popular in entire school. -Kelly

Emily was so popular that some students stared her. She was tired of this. One day she saw a boy who was very handsome. He was her first love. She was out of sight of him and she didn't notice that there was stairs. She fell down from the stairs. The handsome boy caught her. His name was Tom and he liked Emily too because she was very pretty. -Jessica

After graduating university, these two started to travel around the world. One day they found a cave. They was very curious and went inside. But then everything changed. They came to the period of world war 2! Tom became special force in US and Emily became marine. Than they fought against German and after 30 years, the war ended and the world became peaceful.

There may be grammar and spelling mistakes because I typed down exactly the same without correcting it.

An ode to chocolate.

Dear chocolate

Hi chocolate! Do you know me? My name is Monica Hwang. I live in Korea and I love you and all of your friends. I want to say thank you for your sweetness. I really like eating you but now my mum says to stop eating chocolate. So I suppose I have to apolozize to you. Anyway, I owe you so--- much for keeping me awake when I am sleepy.

At here, GLPS, I get tired and sleepy easily for all those walking, talking, reading, and studying. But when I eat your friend Twix or Sneakers, I feel so happy and warm inside. If it wasn't for you, I would be still so tired all day long.

Also, in Valentine day, I can give my friend one of your friend, Gana chocolate, and she gets every so happy. It helps keeping our friendship all safe. It works well for my parents too. You know your famous friend Feferro Rocher? Well, my parents love it, and one day I gave my dad a big box of Feferro Rocher to him for his birthday, and you know what he was like? Well, he ate it in two weeks! I really like you, and all of my friends like you too!

I owe you chocolate, for keeping me awake. I owe you chocolate, for keeping my parents and friend happy. Bye!

From. The friend who will always welcome and love you

 

 

Now, I will write a poem about friendship.

     You are my special friend 

 Our friendship will never end

  When I am happy, you too are happy

     When I am sad, you too feels bad

When I was sending goodbye

letter to my   friend,

              I thought our friendship will end.

       But you said, "You are my special friend. "

                       "Our friendship will never end."

Three things about me

Hello, my name is Monica. I am going to tell you about my favorite book.

 My favorite book is Warriors. Do you know the book called Warriors? It's about cats in the forest having adventures. The types of book  I like are fantasy and novel. When I am reading fantasy books, I like to imagine what would I do if I am the character of the story, and when I am reading novels, I like to think and try to figure out what would happen next. This list below is the books I would like to offer to you. 

1. Number The Stars              2. Tuck Everlasting                          3.Holes.

 

 

What I  am good at? Well.... I am good at harmonica, playing piano, running, and making a speech. I had been learning harmonica since seven, and although I didn't went to academy, I like to practice on my favorite songs. And now I am quite good at it. I had learned piano since ten, and went to academies. Running. Some people says I look too plump to run well, but no. Definetly no. Although I look a bit plump, I had represented my class on running in year 1, 3, 4, and 5 . Speech. I like to write a speech and talk front of the people. My favorite topic is history and technology.

If someone asks, "What's your favorite food?" I will definetly say "pasta!" , even though I like to eat all kind of food, like pizza, rice cake, and more. Anyway, I like to eat pasta, especially Boloneze. ( Boloneze is a pasta with sausage, tomato sauce with a little bit of vegetables, in case you don't know) I especially like to eat the sauce with garlic bread.

Well, yes, thank you for reading this. And if you have anything to say for me, please leave a comment!
