My Favorite Childhood Story

Question: Write about the "My Favorite Childhood Story". Answer: One of my best childhood memories while growing up in Thailand are the foods that we enjoyed with friends and family. In Thai culture, food is considered to be very important during social occasions. We enjoyed eating different varieties of fish, exotic rice cakes, noodles, meat, vegetables and fresh fruits. I remember the delicious snacks like spring rolls that we used to buy from the marketplaces. I personally adored pork rice, brown soup, and seaweed snacks. In Thailand, the people treat each other as if they all belong to one family and they actually believe that eating alone attracts bad luck. I used to enjoy lots of fried chicken and rice when invited by my schoolmates to celebrate at their homes and I would always get excited when such opportunities showed up. Thai nationals are very generous and would always share valuable things even with strangers. My childhood experiences taught me the importance of treating everyone equally as one family. We all need to treat others with respect, the same way we would wish to be treated just like Thai people. We also need to reach out and help others in society instead of leading individualistic lives. In Thailand, a person could literally give away his clothing to a stranger who admired it. The Thai people are very compassionate, a quality that everyone needs to emulate. Encouraging and helping other people to live comfortable lives is an important life lesson that we can learn from the Thai culture. References FRIEDMAN, M. (2015). Thailand.
