Christmas Buffet

This Christmas my family plans to have a buffet dinner on Christmas Eve. We look at the buffet menu. I can see a lot of food on the menu.

I like the salad: cucumber, carrot, lettuce, seafood, tomato, and potato.

I also like the hot dishes: vegetables with garlic, prawns with chilli, chicken in soy sauce, pork in black pepper sauce, beef curry, and sweet and sour pork.

As for the snacks and desserts, I like curry fishballs, steamed rice rolls, small pork bun, Yakitori chicken, lychee crepe, tangerine crepe, and super mango.

I think I will really enjoy the Christmas buffet with my mom and dad.

There are different shops in every town,
And you can buy everything there.

There are little shops and bigger shops
And super markets selling all you need;
Food to eat and clothes to wear, or books
and paper, magazine to read.
Say what you need to buy.
It may be on shelf up high.

And you can buy everything there.

here's a baker shop with bread and cakes.
A shoe shop with some fashions for your feet.
The shop with all the games and toys.
And next shops there's a shop that's full of sweets.

Take a look all around.

There are different shops in every town,
And you can buy everything there.
