The concept comes from noticing international students and new immigrants in the US have difficulties to accurately describe a type of food or a specific tool because those common words that might happen everyday might haven't been taught or required for international examinations.
This idea could be expanded to a collaborative platform with International Student Center in schools or other organizations, providing a series of educational short videos that are helpful for our daily lives knowledge and also easy to be access by students and immigrants. For the first experimental video, the problem is narrowed down to breakfast eggs.
My Objective is to create a series of appealing, educational videos that are helpful for new immigrants' daily lives. Each video has to be concise and simple, clearly explaining the topic and also has a playful, generally accepted style to be attractive.

How would you like your egg? This simple question may knock out many fresh immigrants in the US. So let’s see the options we have.
First, the fried eggs. Sunny side up is the rawest with no flip, so its yolk is runny and the egg white is clean. Next let’s meet the over family – Over-Easy, Over-Medium and Over-Hard. These are flipped and cooked yolk side down depending on how cooked you want the yolk.
Second, the boiled eggs, which are directly cooked in boiling water. Like the fried eggs, the soft-boiled eggs have runny yolk and the hard-boiled eggs have solid yolk.
Poached eggs are simmered in hot water. They have an elliptical shape as they are made to spin in the water. Its yolk is runny and the egg white is thickened. They are famous for Eggs Benedict.
Scrambled eggs and omelets are good friends. The egg is beaten and cooked– if folding it after adding fillings, it becomes an omelet. If stirring it in the pan, it becomes your scrambled eggs.
