    Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the window. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

    I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

    I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can take many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

    Do potatoes play a small role on your dinner table? If so, let's have a big change! Potatoes are becoming China's fourth staple food (主食) after rice, wheat and corn. Using potatoes as a staple can make our diets healthier and more balanced (均衡的).

    They are good for us in many ways.

    Potatoes are nutritious (有营养的). They are rich in vitamin C. A potato's vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories — they have just 75 percent of the amount of calories that wheat and corn have.

    Also, potatoes are easy to grow. People can grow them in almost every part of China. Potatoes don't need much water to grow. China is facing water shortage problems, so potatoes are a good choice.

    Many Chinese people think potatoes are like vegetable. They cook potatoes along with other ingredients (材料). But as a staple, potatoes can be cooked differently. Scientists have found ways to make potato flour, noodles and other staple food, just like how we use rice or wheat.
