Food. Listening Comprehension. Form 6.

Isn’t food one of life’s greatest pleasures? Do you know anyone who doesn’t like food? I
don’t. There is so much delicious food in the world. You could spend a whole lifetime eating
a different dish every day. What’s the tastiest food in the world? This is a very difficult
question to answer. My taste in food keeps changing. Sometimes my favourite is a dessert,
but then I change my mind and go for a spicy curry. It’s great that countries have so many
different dishes. Do you think your national dish is best? Nowadays we have to be careful
about what we eat. Fast food is not good for us. We need to focus more on healthy food.
Maybe we have to be more careful in the future. Make sure the food you eat is good for you.

Shopping

Shopping must be one of the world’s most popular hobbies. I hate it. There’s nothing more
boring than wandering around shopping malls. What a waste of time. I know a lot of people
who like window shopping – just walking around shops without wanting to buy anything.
Crazy! My plan for shopping is ‘quickly in, quickly out’. If I have to go shopping, I go in the
morning on a weekday. This is when the stores are empty and you can get what you want
quickly, without thousands of other shoppers getting in your way. The worst time to go
shopping is on a Saturday afternoon during sale season. It seems as though all of the world’s
bargain hunters are in the same store as you. I was happy when online shopping came along.
This is very relaxing.

Store =shop Quickly in –quickly out – швидко зайшов і

Wandering – прогулянка зразу вийшов
