Many Chinese people like hot pot and Li Yang is one of them.

Three days ago, Li Yang arrived in England. There he had three days of hamburgers, sandwiches, and potatoes. Yesterday he was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a meal of hot pot to welcome the new students.

He went into the room and sat next to an American girl. To his surprise, he saw potatoes and bread in front of him. Where was the hot pot?

When she saw Li Yang was very surprised, the American girl told him that hotpot is NOT hot pot. Chinese has hot pot in two words but English hotpot is written in one word.
