Comparison and Contrast:
Chinese breakfast and American Breakfast have something in common.First, we all eat breakfast in hurry, nobody want to be late for work, so we must spend less time on breakfast than dinner. Second, the material is similar, we all make the breakfast with rice, meat, egg and milk, for exmple,the Chinese congee we eat a lot as breakfast look like the oatmeal in America. Chinese always like to eat fried eggs in the morning because people all think we need more protein to build up. Milk is also a very common thing in both Chinese and American breakfast. Last but not the least, Some kind of food we eat for the breakfast have the same source, an example from the article is the pancakes, it said that:"Pancakes: First adapted by the French from China and Nepal in the 12 century by Crusaders. Americans then took this recipe and used it themselves", although pancakes come from China, it is also changed the recipe now.
Even though, Chinese breakfast and American Breakfast have a lot in common, we can't ignore the differences between them. The biggest difference between them is the species. In China, you can not find a fixed breakfast if you travell to different places, in different place people have different food habits, in southern part of china, sweet food is popular but in the northern part Soy Milk and Dough Sticks is more common. while in American the breakfast seem similar in different places. In my opinion another different thing is that American breakfast is more nutritious than Chinese breakfast, there are many kinds of food in American breakfast, like juice, Cereals, fried eggs, meet, more food can provide more energy to us, however in China although we have a lot kinds of breakfast in different places, but in every place they have only one or two kinds of food, for example, people may eat only noodles or only drink soy milk, eating such a breakfast is more dangerous, Chinese peolple should take more care of their health.
