Sticky Rice Dumpling
Alright so I am not going to go into the long history of the ZongZi, but rest assured that this tried and tested method of carbs is a true winner. Inside this one you’re going to find peanuts, fatty pork, chestnut, egg yolk, and a bit of mushroom thrown in their for good measure. Topped with coriander, and lashings of the red bottled sauce that’s on each table, and you’re flying high.

當學習者程度還比較不足的時候，因為對英文不夠熟悉（e.g. 時態搭配、詞性變化、單字組合、發音、連音…），所以聽到的內容比較難內化（有點像在聽一組亂數）。概念其實滿簡單的，困難其實就是在知道哪些詞語和句型結構是一組，以及該如何歸納。這部分在自學的時候，可能就要多查字典，或是有老師直接告訴你 「這邊的句構是一組」、「這邊是一組」、「這個情況一定是這個文法時態，所以會是 have been + Ving」
