迎冬至，暖人心——爱和城高级中学留学部全家包饺子啦~

冬至是最重要的节气之一，也是我国的传统节日。为了弘扬中华传统文化，提高学生的生存技能，丰富学生的课余生活，12月20日上午，爱和城高级中学留学部开展了迎冬至包饺子活动。

Winter solstice is one of the most important solar terms and is also a traditional festival in China. Students in AIA are organized to make dumplings last Sunday to carry forward traditional Chinese culture, to improve their survival skills and to enrich their extracurricular life. 

八点半钟，包饺子活动开始了。学生们在老师的组织下，把手洗得干干净净，系上围裙，戴上口罩，兴奋地来到宽敞明亮的餐厅。

Students arrived early at the dining room. And then, they washed their hands and put on the aprons and masks with excitement.

细心周到的厨师已经准备好了肉馅和菜陷。首先，大厨给学生们介绍了各种调料的作用，并详细讲解了配陷的注意事项和调料的用量。

The chef prepared the stuffing well and introduced how to make it delicious.

这边，耐心的面点师给学生们介绍了和面的步骤要领和水面配比。

Here, the patient cook introduced how to make dough. 

学生们一个个摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试，在厨师和面点师的指导下，开始实践，热火朝天地拌陷、和面。

Students were fully prepared and they were eager to try. Under the patient guidance of the chef and cook, they started with joy. 

刚擀出了几个皮，学生们迫不及待地动手包起了饺子。热情的外教也加入包饺子的行列，和孩子们一起体验了包饺子的乐趣，陪孩子们度过了一个愉快而美好的周末！

Foreign teacher Isaac also came to make dumplings together.
