Do you often dinner with your family or friends?

Part 2

Now, have a look at the card and prepare a monologue.

Describe a period of time from your studies that was the most difficult for you so far. You should say:

• Where is it
• What kind of food it serves
• Why do like its food

and how often do you eat there

I would like to talk about a nice little restaurant [tooltip hint=”Very close.”] in a walking distance of[/tooltip] my apartment called “La Pasta”… It is situated on the ancient street in the old city centre… This restaurant serves various meals of [tooltip hint=”Traditional Italian food.”]Italian cuisine[/tooltip] that I enjoy… For example, they serve extremely delicious pasta, pizza and tomato soup… I particularly love their pasta… It is very versatile food, and can be made in many ways… I general, I love Italian food because it is all about fresh, [tooltip hint=”Delicious ingredients.”]flavorful ingredientse[/tooltip] … That’s why I eat in that restaurant every now and then with my family and friends… Although it’s not cheap, its [tooltip hint=”When a product is worth buying due its good quality, even if it’s expensive.”]quality justifies the bill[/tooltip]…

Part 3

How can we make people eat healthier food?

The best approach for this problem is to [tooltip hint=”To find a golden mean and stick with it.”]strike a balance[/tooltip] between junk food and healthy food… You can eat unhealthy ever so rarely, if you manage to eat [tooltip hint=”Products rich in calories.”]nutritious products [/tooltip] the majority of the time… I eat [tooltip hint=”Unhealthy food, mostly light snacks.”]junk food[/tooltip] myself, by I try not to abuse my health…

Do you think people enjoy what they eat on a regular?

I don’t really know, but I’m leaning towards a negative answer… People are often lazy when chosing their meals… They try to [tooltip hint=”ITo eat a little portion of food very quickly.”]catch a snack[/tooltip] to [tooltip hint=”To avoid eating when you really want to. Usually practiced during diets.”]restrain their hunger [/tooltip]… But it is neither healthy nor enjoyable…

Do you think that cooking is a pleasure a burden for most people?

I can’t speak for everybody, but I think that cooking is [tooltip hint=”Something you do rather unwillingly.”]more of a chore than a pleasure[/tooltip] … But it really depends on a person… Some people might love cooking… If it is their passion or a [tooltip hint=”A job you really like and do with a pleasure.”] beloved job[/tooltip], then it’s good for them… But I’m not among those people… Personally, I prefer [tooltip hint=”IDinning at a restaurant.”]dining out[/tooltip]
