PRESENTATION

1) My topic is 'Cuisine'. I choose this topic because of two simple reasons. First of all, I love eating. Moreover, I want to know more about the wayS how to make good and healthy food for everybody and my family. That's so great :)

The name of encyclopedia is : ' FOODS AND NUTRITION ENCYCLOPEDIA ' (I-Z). This book was published in 1983, vol.2. The authors are: Ensminger, Konlande, Robson.

When I read this book, I can learn a lot of things from this. I've known that: Cooking is not only the science of making raw food to be more nutritious. It's also the art. In my opion, food will be more delicious, flavorful and attractive if when you cook,you add your love, your attitude, and your smile into it.
In fact, raw fruits and vegetables are good for you, but they're easier to eat and more appetizing when they're cooked. Therefore, there are some reasons why food should be cooked:

• to make foods have nutritive value.
• to make foods to be more delicious, attractive, healthier.
• to develop the flavor, or to add the flavor.
• to destroy the bacterium that is not good for our health.

2) My subject encyclopedia is 'chocolate'. I can learn a lot from this subject. I've known some informations about chocolate such as: the origin and history of chocolate, harvesting, the process to make chocolate, some kinds of chocolate, and chocolate nutritional value.

3) There are 2 types of encyclopedia : general encyclopedia, and subject encyclopedia.
General encyclopedia tells us about the topic or a lot of different fields in general. Otherwise, subject encyclopedia tells us about each title clearly with a lot of main and supporting details. Subject encyclopedia is more helpful for us to find informations or details about the title. In my coming oral presentation, I'll talk about the origin of chocolate: where does it come from?,...;nutrition and health benefits of chocolate; some kinds of chocolate. I also want to talk a little bit about the signification and the meaning of chocolate in our life. But I haven't found this information yet, because I don't know where it is :(

4) Some terms I used to looking for are: chocolate, chocolate benefits,origin, chocolate company.
