Meena: Hi, Barbara. Why don’t you join our group? We’re going to give
a presentation about what we eat at each meal in our home countries.
Barbara: Oh, great! I love finding out about other cultures. So where do
we start? Breakfast? In the UK we have cereal, toast, eggs and tea or
coffee for breakfast. Have you got that, Meena?
Meena: Yes ... But breakfast in India is completely different. We have a
lot of different kinds of breakfast across India, but mostly we eat some
type of bread with lentils.
Chen: Oh, is that right? In China, we have tea with noodles or rice and
vegetables for breakfast. So what do you have for lunch, Barbara?
Barbara: Well, you know in the UK, we don’t usually have a big lunch.
We usually just have a sandwich. But it’s different in India isn’t it?
Meena: Oh definitely. I don’t like sandwiches at all. We have rice and
vegetables for lunch in India.
Chen: Yeah ... we have a cooked meal at lunch time, too. We usually
have noodle soup, and a main course.

Barbara: We have our main meal in the evening in the UK, as well. Quite
often we have chicken, meat or fish with potatoes and vegetables.
Track 83
OK everyone, could you all pay attention now? Tomorrow we’re going to
make a popular Caribbean dish, um ... chicken and rice. Recipes vary
from country to country, but for the moment I’m going to give you the
list of ingredients for the basic recipe and leave you to add the flavours
and spices to your own taste. Right, are you ready to write this down?
OK... First of all, you need a chicken that weighs about 2 kilos. Then, for
four people, you’ll need 750 grams of uncooked rice. OK? For the sauce,
you want 1⁄2 a kilo of onions ... Umm and tomatoes, you’ll need 450
grams of tomatoes and ... ah ... and what else? Oh, yes, and green
peppers you want 1⁄4 kilo of green peppers and, finally, 50 millilitres of
cooking oil. Have you all got that? Good. See you tomorrow, then. Don’t
forget to bring your favourite spices.
Track 84
Hi, and welcome to ‘Campus Cook‐in’, our daily TV programme for
students who want a bit of variety in their meals. Are you bored with
cereal for breakfast? Well, today, we’re going to tell you how to make
pancakes. They’re cheap and quick and very easy to make. You only
need flour, milk, sugar, salt, oil and an egg. The full recipe’s on the
university website – just follow the link. So, here we go ...
Before you start, it’s important to have the exact quantities, otherwise
your pancakes won’t cook properly. So please make sure you weigh
everything carefully. Everyone ready? OK.
First you put the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Next, you mix the
egg, milk and oil in another bowl. Then, slowly add the liquid ingredients
to the flour mixture, mixing well until it has a smooth, thick consistency.
Make sure you stir all the time.
OK? Now we’re ready to cook our pancakes. We start by heating the
frying pan and greasing it lightly with a little butter. When the butter’s
melted, we pour a large spoonful of the pancake mix into the pan and
cook it until the edges are brown. At that point, flip the pancake over
and cook for a minute or so longer. Finally, put the pancake on a plate
and cover it up to keep warm, and make the next one. When all your
pancakes are ready, you can serve them up with syrup or sugar and
lemon, or even fruit. Delicious! Happy Eating!
Track 87
Good afternoon. Many people in the western world eat the wrong food
and they eat far too much of it. So the topic of my lecture today is
healthy eating. I’ll divide my talk into three parts; firstly, I’m going to
define what I mean by healthy eating. After that, I’ll go on to talk about
why people don’t eat properly and then I’ll finish my lecture with some
ideas for improving the situation.
Right ... So what do I mean by ‘healthy eating’? Well, some people might
think it means eating a lot of meat. Ummm... of course, vegetarians
wouldn’t agree with this. They think eating meat is very unhealthy.
Other people think that eating a lot of cabbage is good for you, or a lot
of salad. Well, naturally, cabbage, salad and meat can all be part of
healthy eating. But, for me, a healthy eating means two things: one is...
eating a balanced diet and the other is... eating the right amount of
food. In my opinion, a balanced diet means eating a variety of foods,
including meat, vegetables, fruit, cereals and dairy foods. Obviously, the
amount of food we should eat is more difficult to decide. It depends a lot
on how active we are.
Track 88
Now on to my next point ... Why do so many people eat badly? Well,
let’s look first at having a balanced diet. To have a balanced diet you
have to plan your meals in advance and then buy the right food... and
then take time to cook it properly. But, these days people are so busy
working that they don’t have time to go shopping, so they end up buying
fast food at the last minute. Another reason people don’t eat well
nowadays is that it’s actually cheaper to buy food already prepared in a
packet. So, people who haven’t got much money, will buy packet food
rather than cook something fresh. And a final reason why people don’t
eat healthily ... and that is that they don’t know how to. In my opinion,
schools don’t do nearly enough to educate their pupils in healthy eating
habits.
