Writing an essay on a food I strongly like/ Week 3 assignment

 

 

Fake-bread

 

 

 

Have you ever seen the bread which is big, and looks like filled up, but has nothing in it? Well, this is a so-called fake-bread. Many people have a kind of food which reminds them the memories of some time in their lives. For me, it's a fake-bread. After about ten years after I was born, my family didn't have much time to spend together comfortably. With the days together, we're busy to make our own goals, and with the days of more leisure, we're parted by some reasons. This makes the memories of my childhood when my family spent times together with pure joy, and the fake-bread to be very precious for me.

 

A fake-bread has originated from China. (It's name in China is kōngxīnbǐng.) It was brought to Korea about 80 years ago. In Korea, it has become less hard and a little smaller than its original version. It has a round shape outside decorated with black sesames. The inner part of it is almost empty except some melted sugar and, sometimes, black sesames spread on inside of the crust. Some people think it's similar to popover in America or Aishu in Egypt though they're much softer than fake-bread. A fake-bread has smell of flour in very tasty way. When a person bites it, one can hear the crunch of it. Actually, it's not easy to bite the bread, because it is hard, big. So I usually break it into pieces before I take a bite.

 

I cannot remember the exact point when I first tried a fake-bread. However, I surely remember how it made me feel comfortable, warm and how I was reassured that I would be happy with my family for a long time by it.

    your subject seems to be fake-bread. The text is well written, easy to understand and you made your point clear why you like fake-bread.
    However, the part about how some people think it's similar to popover is America, feels like unncessary information because it doesn't tell anything about the reason you like fake-bread. It only tells what other people think about fake-bread.

    Fake-bread


    Have you ever seen the bread which is big, and looks like filled up, but has nothing in it? Well, this is a so-called fake-bread. Many people have a kind of food which reminds them the memories of some time in their lives. For me, it’s a fake-bread. After about ten years after I was born, my family didn’t have much time to spend together comfortably. With the days together, we’re busy to make our own goals, and with the days of more leisure, we’re parted by some reasons. This makes the memories of my childhood when my family spent times together with pure joy, and the fake-bread to be very precious for me.

When a person bites it, one can hear the crunch of it like when he or she eats crackers. Though, it tastes much sweeter than common crackers. Actually, it’s not easy to bite the bread, because it is hard, big. So I usually break it into pieces before I take a bite.
