104 Answers Practice 3 My favourite food is curry mee. I first tasted this dish when I was nine years old. My parents took my brother and me to a food court for lunch. They ordered chicken rice for my brother and me. Meanwhile, they ordered curry mee for themselves. When the curry mee arrived, I was attracted by the smell. I asked my mother if I could try it. She was worried that I could not take the spiciness. However, I insisted on eating it. Finally she relented and let me have a bite. It was tantalizing. From that moment on, I fell in love with curry mee. The dish consists of thin yellow noodles or rice vermicelli. It is simmered in a spiced broth made with coconut milk and is accompanied with chilli or sambal paste. The toppings for curry mee include chicken, prawns, boiled eggs, deep fried tofu, fried foo chuk, green beans, bean sprouts and mint leaves. Practice 4 1 Last weekend, my older brother got married.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. On the one hand, online shopping is convenient. We can shop anytime and anywhere. Online shopping too offers cheaper prices. Manufacturers sell us the goods directly so we do not have to pay the middlemen. On the other hand, there are a lot of fraudulent sellers online. They may sell you fake goods at a higher price or do not send you the goods at all. Another disadvantage is that you cannot try out the products that you want before buying them. For example, you cannot try out the clothes and they may not fit. In conclusion, I am of the opinion the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Online shopping is more convenient and the prices are cheaper.
