Ex. 4 These four people were asked to talk about what they eat.
Maria: I eat a great deal of foreign food: Italian, French, Lebanese ... that sort of thing. Strangely enough, I think I'd rather have ordinary, well-cooked English food. My favourite is still steak! I prefer it rare. I'm also very fond of red wine, particularly Burgundy.
Alexander: I'm just not very interested in food. I usually have only a cup of tea and a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast, and often skip lunch. For dinner, I often buy a tin of soup or perhaps a frozen hamburger, and heat it up. Occasionally I get something from a Chinese takeaway, or one of those fried chicken places. I never touch alcohol. It doesn't agree with me.
Carol: Food is still one of life's mysteries for me. It's all my parents' fault. They're awfully conventional in their tastes. My mother insists on cooking things like roast beef or lamb and boiled potatoes with some carrots or brussels sprouts. In fact, the kind of food I have to eat is so disgusting that I'd rather not talk about it, if you don't mind.
Dominic: I absolutely adore fish, particularly white fish, such as sole or haddock, cooked in a little white wine, with some garlic and lemon. Recently, I've been experimenting with Japanese recipes, particularly raw fish. Oh, and I love fresh vegetables such as courgettes, broccoli and asparagus, and fresh green beans. But I hate them overcooked. Oh, and I'm terribly fond of pasta ... but it must be freshly made!
A. Imagine a meal that each one of these people had yesterday. Describe it. B. Which person would you prefer to eat with? Why? Describe the meal you
would have with this person.
Ex. 5 Agree or disagree with the following statements about eating. Give your reasons and compare them with your partner's.
Eating is such a waste of time, effort and money. It would be better if we could
simply take pills.
You are what you eat.
Eating is one of the greatest pleasures available. In the modern world we tend to eat too quickly and not well enough.
The problem is half the world eats too much, and the other half doesn't have
enough to eat.
Ex. 6 Study the extract from a brochure published by the British Health Education Council which is called "Staying Alive". Speak about the problems touched upon in the text. What are your ideas of healthy food? Discuss them in groups of three or four.
Most of us eat without realising what our food consists of. And. like any other machine, the body functions better or worse according to the fuel we feed it. No one single food will kill us, but a combination of the wrong sorts of food can cause ill health. Perhaps we ought to stop and think for a moment
Chemical additives* in food certainly make it tastier and more attractive to look at when it often consists mainly of sugar. This is dangerous not only for our body but also for our teeth. We should cut down on sweets, ice creams and soft drinks.
Sugar is not the only danger. The next time we eat lamb chops or cheese, or drink a glass of milk, we should remember the high level of fat they contain. Too much fat may lead to heart disease.
In order to be really healthy, our bodies need fibre**. Without a sufficient amount, the digestion cannot function properly. We ought to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and cereals such as rice. Fibre also fills us up, makes us feel less hungry and so we eat less of the wrong kinds of food.
Those of you who are a little overweight need not think of a diet as punishment, if you follow a sensible eating plan. It means you can eat well, enjoy your food, but without the same number of calories. To lose weight regularly, we should not eat more than 1500 calories a day. There is one condition, however. You must want to lose weight and not just think you ought to do it. When you have decided, you will have to buy a special booklet which tells you the number of calories in every type of food. You will also have to buy two reliable scales, one for weighing your food, the other for weighing yourself. You must keep an accurate record of everything you eat and weigh yourself at the same time even, week. If you follow the plan carefully, you should lose an average of two and a half pounds (1 kilo) a week.
* Chemical additives: Chemicals which are added to food and drink.
** Fibre: Substance found only in certain types of food.
