SPEAKING PART 3
In Speaking Part 3, the two candidates must discuss a situation or problem together
and reach a decision. The examiner:
• gives you a page with a picture or several pictures showing different ideas
or options
• tells you what your task is. She/He asks you to discuss the options and tells
you what you should decide about. The questions are also printed on the
prompt sheet.

Example:
Imagine that your college is organising an end-of-year trip for its students. The
photographs show some of the options.
• First talk together about how each of these trips could benefit the
students.
• Then decide which one you think would be the most suitable.
Make a brainstorm with vocabulary, grammar and different ways of expressing to

LEARNING ABOUT FOOD

A school in California finds a new way to teach students about healthy eating.
Alice Waters – chef and restaurant owner – is sitting in the kitchen garden of the
Martin Luther King School in Berkeley, California. The kitchen garden is called the
Edible Schoolyard and students at this public school are preparing a vegetable bed as
part of a lesson, Later, they will cook what they pick as part of their school lunch.
1 – H Each student receives between 18 and 40 hours tuition a year in the Schoolyard
and as a result what they eat at school has changed. A good part of the food grown
here is used in the school’s daily meals.

Waters has been fighting to improve children’s diets for a decade, and in 1996 she
started a campaign to raise funds for the Edible Schoolyard and the School Lunch
Initiative. 2 - ___ And Waters hopes that they will set an example for other parts of the
country as well. “We have such a huge problem of bad eating habits in the United
States that teaching abut food cannot be left to parents,” she says. “So many children
generally are eating fast, cheap, easy food that something has to be done.”

Marsha Guerrero, director of the School Lunch initiative, explains, how it all works.
“This is mainly a teaching garden,” she says. “ 3 - ___” Nearby farms therefore also
supply food as part of the regular lunches at the school. These are prepared using fresh
organic ingredients when possible.

Typical classes in the Edible Schoolyard involve plenty of gardening activity. However,
they are not a break from normal school work as academic projects are always
attached. In one lesson the students are asked to choose one part of the garden as
their personal sport for the entire year. Hey then observe and record in a journal what
happens in this sport as time progresses. They record their observations of insect life,
the soil and changes to the plants. 4 - ___

Classes in the kitchen involve cooking lunch, but also link into classroom academic
subjects. The food cooked here includes a range of dishes from pasta to stuffed vine
leaves and delicious Italian omelettes filled with herbs and vegetables are available.
Science is taught through nutrition and cooking technique; geography through the
effects of the seasons and eating habits around the world. 5 - ____

Today’s midday meal consists of home – made pesto and tomato sandwiches, with a
big vegetable salad. Everyone is eating. Teo Hernandez, 13, says he has changed they
way he eats. “I can now cook and grow things,” he says. “ 6 - ____ I have changed my
attitude to food; I like some herbs and lettuce and I use less salt. It’s been fun, the
teachers are nice – and there’s no homework.” Teo has been in the US for only three
years, but his teachers say he has learned to speak perfect English in such a short time
because he is so happy at school.
But has Alice Waters succeeded? is the Edible Schoolyard model the way forward?
7 - ___ “When kids become un healthy due to bad diet, they become isolated,” says
Waters. “But eating such good food and picking, smelling and cooking the vegetables
and fruit in this garden makes them care about them. Just seeing a child saying to
another, ‘Would you like some?’ – that is the essential thing.”

A I don’t know yet if I will continue doing so in the future but I know I can.
B Judging by the happiness in this garden among a mixed bunch of ordinary
children, the answer would have to be yes.
C Keeping notes in this way is viewed as an essential part of experimental
learning.
D One lesson, on European diets in the Middle Ages, ends with the children
cooking roasted vegetables with herbs and garlic.
E The problem, according to some critics, is that these projects may be just too
expensive to run.
F These two projects aim to provide all 10,000 students in Berkeley’s public
schools with good food while also placing food at the heart of the curriculum.
G We couldn’t possibly produce enough food in this small space to feed all 300
children.
H Lessons like this one take place in the garden and kitchen and they form part of
the curriculum.
