Ex. 10. Read the text and complete the chart.

“As usual, Miles had excelled himself in the kitchen, and the table was spread with an array of Mediterranean dishes that filled the air with a delicious aroma. However, the events of the afternoon had affected the family’s appetites in different ways. Lord Belsize tucked in with his usual vigour, stuffing great chunks of avocado into his mouth and washing them down with gulps of white wine, while Lady Belsize picked daintily at her plate of snails with garlic sauce and nibbled at olives. George gazed dreamily out over the bay, occasionally sipping mineral water, and using his fork as a drumstick. He had obviously lost appetite completely, and was put off by the appetizing smell of the grilled trout. Meanwhile, Jemima on his left, her pretty face tense with concentration, was resolutely attacking her food, as if she had been fasting for at least two days. She deftly separated flesh from bone and thoroughly chewed each mouthful of the succulent fish, occasionally downing a whole glass of wine. Miles himself, having put so much into the preparation of the meal, was contentedly munching homemade bread as he swallowed spoonfuls of minestrone soup with a slurping sound. Lord Belsize, having by now polished off a very large rare steak with mushrooms, drained his glass, licked his lips noisily, belched and said: ‘Well, George, I’m glad to see you are not overeating tonight. We wouldn’t want you to have indigestion on the eve of your wedding, would we, Jemima?’ Jemima looking startled, began to choke and hurried into the villa, coughing. “Looks like something went down the wrong way,’ said Miles, and gobbled two artichokes hearts” (Goodale M., Idioms Workbook, 2002, p.49).
