Give a talk about food.
Remember to say:
- how many meals a day you have and what you eat
- what type of food you like (dislike) eating at home and at school
- whether you prefer healthy food or fast food
- what type of food you like cooking and why
You have to talk for 1.5-2.5 minutes. The examiner will listen until you have finished. Then she/he will ask you some questions.
FOOD
We can't live without food. People usually have three to four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Breakfast is an early meal, it's often light, more like a snack. Children have breakfast when they get up, before going to school. They have cheese or sausage sandwiches with a cup of tea, coffee or cocoa. Most kids have a late breakfast at school at 10 or half past 10 which consists of porridge, scrambled eggs or pancakes followed by tea. Lunch is usually at one or two o'clock during a long break. There's soup, salad, a fish or meat dish and juice or stewed fruit. Many children, especially young ones, have a snack after a walk. They eat a cake, some fruit and have a drink. When kids and parents get back home in the evening they have dinner at 6 or 7 or supper much later at around 8 o'clock. People eat whatever they are used to at home: meat, vegetables or spaghetti.
I know that dairy products such as milk, curds and yoghurt are very useful just like all kinds of vegetables.Yet I'm a meat eater. I can't do without a piece of chicken, beef or pork. Fish and sea food are also necessary to eat, they make our bones stronger. I eat fish from time to time but I'm not very fond of fish. Likemany kids I have a sweet tooth and I enjoy chocolate, cakes and sweets.
Junk food does us much harm as doctors say. Fast food is very popularwith some grown-ups and children. No wonder. Hamburgers and pizzasare tasty, they are quite cheap. It doesn't take time to get them ready to eat. Fast food is convenient, you don't have to go shopping for ingredients, to spend time cooking and to wash up afterwards. I try to avoid junk food but I sometimes feel like having a burger at Macdonald's or a pizza at the school buffet. If you are an active person and do a sport, a little fast food is not a big problem.
I'm not a good cook, really but I like cooking. One day I hope to learn to cook well. I can cook some simple dishes: vegetable salads, fried or boiled potatoes. I'd like to learn to prepare fish and meat dishes and to bake cakes.
