About five years ago, my grandma came to Australia from the Netherlands( 荷兰 ) to live with us. She loved cooking and collecting different kitchen things. She didn’t use all of them, but she loved seeing her kitchen with all kinds of nice cups, glasses, and plates. Before she came to Australia, she had to make hard choices. She stood in the kitchen and didn’t know what to bring with her and what to leave behind. She spent many hours looking at everything and in the end she made a decision to take a set of plates made of china( 瓷 ).
Then she came to Australia with the beautiful plates. Several weeks later, a new friend invited my grandma to have dinner in her house and asked her to bring a plate. My grandma was confused( 困惑的 ), but her English was not very good at that time and she couldn’t ask clearly what her friend meant. On that day, she picked out her most beautiful china plate and brought it to her friend’s house. She was sure everyone would like it. When she arrived at her friend’s house, she was proud and put the plate on a table. Around her empty plate were plates filled with different kinds of food. “There must be something wrong,” she said to herself. Her friend smiled when she saw her empty plate. “‘Bring a plate’ means ‘bring some food’ in Australia,” her friend said.
Grandma learned a good lesson that day. Since then, she has never brought an empty plate to anyone’s house again.
