I'm writing a paper in both english and Filipino for my language class. I want to make sure or I guess have an idea of how to go about goal-focused and subject-focused verbs.. so if someone could translate these paragraphs it'd help me majorly!

Food is a major part of Filipino culture. IN fact, the number of meals per day is greater than five. These meals consist of at least two meriendas in between the main meals during the day. Today, we will be looking at how to cook on of the most popular dishes in the Philippines, Adobo. You can cook adobo with pork, chick, or beef...

You will need the following ingredients:

(I have already translated the ingredients and steps for cooking)

but also need translated the following facts:

Filipino cooking reflects the history of the islands. Chinese, Hindu, Spanish, and American ingredients and customs have influenced the cooking.

*here I am supposed to talk about curry (hindu) and ketchup/banana ketchup (american) and champado (spanish) foods in Philippines and also how the many sauces - fish sauce/shrimp paste etc are used*
if anyone has ideas about those influences it'd be greatly appreciated! Keep in mind as well I am also only in first year Filipino so I don't have a huge extensive vocabulary but can look up almost anything.

I know it seems like a lot but I am also doing a speech tonight. Thanks!!
