Summer is here. In China, people enjoy eating watermelon anddrink mung bean soup (绿豆汤) tostay cool and hydrated. Let’s see what American people like to eat or drink inthe summer to feel cool and refreshed!
1. Ice Cream 冰淇淋
Ice cream is creamy and tasty. In America, from little kidsto older people, almost everyone loves ice-cream. It is really popular. Someoneprefers big brand ice-cream, such as Haagen-Dazs and Nestle, but others wouldlike to their own home-made ice-cream.
冰激凌有很多奶油也很好吃，在美国，不管是小朋友还是老年人，几乎所有人都很喜爱冰淇淋。有些人喜欢有牌子的冰激凌，比如哈根达斯和雀巢，也有些人喜欢家庭制作的冰激凌。
2. Popsicle 碎碎冰
A popsicle is ice on a stick, not creamy but veryrefreshing. Usually it has different fruit flavors such as cherry, orange, mango, pineapple, and strawberry. My favorite flavor is strawberry.
