00:05.30]1 Different food
[00:16.07]1.It’s kind of vegetable.
[00:20.74]It looks a bit like a strange green flower or something like that.
[00:28.11]You take off the outside leaves and boil the inside leaves until they’re soft.
[00:35.97]I usually dip them in a little bit of sauce- just oil and lemon and garlic.
[00:43.73]2.It’s kind of fruit.It’s very common in south-east Asia-and very popular too.
[00:52.95]It looks really strange.It’s got a really strong smell and quite a strange texture1.
[01:01.78]My mum said it’s like eating a pillow or cushion or something!
[01:07.84]3.It’s traditional Turkish meat dish.
[01:15.39]but you also get it in Greece,in lran,all over the place,really.
[01:22.55]You use fresh lamb and grill2 it and then serve it either on its own
[01:29.91]or in this kind of flat bread, with a bit of salad.
[01:35.48]4.It’s kind of traditional Spanish seafood3 dish.
[01:43.13]Well,I suppose really it’s a rice and seafood dish.
[01:49.30]You have to use a special kind of rice
[01:54.16]and you add different kinds of fish and shellfish and things.
[02:00.03]It’s delicious.Most areas in spain have their own special way of cooking it.
[02:07.58]5.It’s kind of a salad.
[02:13.77]You can have it as a side dish or just on its own-in the summer.
[02:20.23]It’s basically just mushrooms and radish
[02:25.40]and whatever kind of green leaves you’ve got available.
[02:30.15]6.It’s kind of dessert.It’s eaten all over the Middle East.
[02:38.80]It’s a bit like a little cake of something.
[02:43.37]It’s covered in pastry4 and it’s filled with nuts and honey.
[02:49.43]It’s quite fattening5.I suppose.but it’s really delicious.
[02:55.67]7.It’s kind of cake.My mum used to make it all the time when I was growing up.
[03:05.03]She used to put rum or brandy in it.so it was quite rich.
[03:11.27]quite heavy.You couldn’t really eat more than one slice of it.
[03:17.33]8.It’s traditional Middle Eastern starter or side dish.
[03:24.49]It’s made from crushed chickpeas and you mix that with a bit of lemon.
[03:31.25]You dip pitta bread into it.It’s really nice.
[03:37.13]9.It’s kind of traditional soup.
[03:43.58]You usually put a lot of beans in it-and then maybe some carrots
[03:49.85]or whatever other kind of vegetables you have available.
[03:54.61]It’s very filling.It’s great in the winter.
[03:59.46]2. Eat your greens!
[04:09.81]People in developed countries are increasingly suffering from illnesses resulting from over-eating.
[04:18.77]While starvation and famine are still big problems in many poor countries in the world,
[04:26.71]In America and other western countries,
[04:31.86]more than twenty-five percent of the population are obese6.
[04:37.50]This doesn’t just mean yur’re a little bit fat,
[04:42.64]it means you are more than twenty kilos overweight.
[04:48.10]And Dr John Colon7 from Ohio State University says the problem is only going to get worse.
[04:56.88]As more women have gone out to work,
[05:01.43]you find that parents in general have less time to spend on preparing food.
[05:08.98]That’s not just the cooking,but also planning what to eat,
[05:15.64]doing the shopping and buying fresh food.
[05:20.99]Families.therefore,increasingly rely on ready made and frozen8 meals,
[05:28.36]which tend to be high in fat and contain a lot of additives9 and sugar.
[05:34.92]The other thing is that parents seem to feel guily about not spending
[05:42.07]so much time with their kids.
[05:46.23]so they tend to give in a lot quicker to children’s demands for things like sweets and chocolate.
[05:53.88]Ben Brown,who is a British Member of Parliament,blames the big food companies.
[06:01.95]He wants to ban any food advertising10 which is aimed at children.
[06:08.01]The problem is that these companies spend millions of pounds selling food to children.
[06:15.67]It’s all crisps in the shape of dinosaurs11 and chocolate in the shape of Mickey Mouse.
[06:23.03]I mean,what’s going to seem more fun to an eight-year-old-
[06:28.49]an ice cream with a free toy or an apple?
[06:33.46]One food company thinks it has an answer to this:
[06:39.33]it has invented pizza-flavoured brocoli,baked-bean-flavoured peas.
[06:46.60]cheese and onion-flavoured cauliflower and chocolate-flavoured carrots.
[06:53.36]It developed the Whacky Veg,with money donated by a cancer research charity,
[07:01.02]which found that a diet containing lots of fruit and vegetables helps reduce cancer.
[07:08.38]However,today’s sweet-toothed kids need to be bribed12 into a healthy diet,
[07:15.93]and will only eat their greens if they taste different.
[07:21.39]1 Listening
[07:37.27]Do you want any more of this chicken?
[07:41.64]No.honestly,I’m full.Finish it off.
[07:46.18]Are you sure?You don’t seem to have eaten much.Have you tried the fish?
[07:53.34]Yeah,but to be honest,it was a bit too hot for my liking13.
[07:59.11]Oh,sorry.Don’t worry about it.
[08:03.16]Well,What did you think of the vegetable dish?That was lovely.Yeah,
[08:09.69]it was OK,A bit too greasy14 for my liking.but it was OK.
[08:15.57]Oh,dear,I’m sorry.we should’ve gone somewhere else.
[08:21.63]No.no.The rest of it was lovely.But we only had rice apart from that.
[08:28.40]There was the soup as well.
[08:32.37]It’s just a shame you spilt most of it when you got up to go to the toilet.
[08:38.53]Yes,sorry about that,I’m sure the stain will wish out.
[08:45.30]Hopefully,Don’t worry,These things happen.
[08:50.65]But you should’ve asked for some more.You must still be hungry.
[08:56.61]Honestly,I’m fine,.I couldn’t eat another thing.Shall we get the bill?
[09:04.26]I suppose so.Excuse me.Excuse me.could we have the bill?
[09:12.41]Of course.sir.Was everything all right?
[09:16.98]Yes,it was lovely. How much is it?
[09:22.73]Forty pounds.Forty pounds?That can’t be right.
[09:29.50]I know,what does that say?Is that a D or an A?
[09:36.73]Yeah,I think it’s a D.They’ve charged us for the D menu instead of the A.
[09:43.97]It’s almost five pounds more expensive.
[09:48.62]Excuse me...excuse me... Yes,sir?
[09:54.49]I’m sorry,but I think you’ve got the bill wrong.
[10:00.66]You’ve charged us for D menu but we had menu A.
[10:07.14]I’m sorry,one moment.I’m sorry.you’re absolutely right.
[10:14.69]That should be thirty-one pounds,not forty.
[10:20.36]That’s OK.These things happen.
[10:25.32]Cathy,shall I pay for this on my card and you can pay me back later?
[10:32.08]I’m sorry sir.we don’t take credit cards.Cheques or cash only.
[10:38.85]You’re joking.Have you got any cash?
[10:44.02]Only about ten pounds.Oh.no.Is there a cash machine near here?
[10:51.18]Yes,there’s one just down the road outside the supermarket.
[10:57.42]Right.do you want to wait here and I’ll go and get some cash out.
[11:03.90]Yeah,I guess I’ll have to.I’m really sorry about this.
[11:10.35]That’s OK.These things happen.I’ll be back in a moment.
[11:16.39]Has sir returned?
[11:22.63]No.not yet.I’m sure he’ll be back.I can’t imagine where he’s gone.
[11:30.29]He has been gone half an hour.
[11:34.83]4 Pronunciation:contractions
[11:47.40]You shouldn’t have said that.
[11:54.76]We should’ve gone somewhere else.
[11:59.44]I should’ve done it earlier.
[12:04.09]He should’ve sent his application form off earlier.
[12:09.94]I shouldn’t have asked.
[12:15.71]You should’ve thought about that before.shouldn’t you?
[12:21.56]You should’ve told me about it before.
[12:28.20]I shouldn’t have bothered!
[12:33.95]You should’ve come.
[12:38.49]I shouldn’t have eaten so much!
[00:16.07]1.It’s kind of vegetable.
[00:20.74]It looks a bit like a strange green flower or something like that.
