TEXT 1
We all love to eat out. It is a perfect way to meet up with family or friends, eat some delicious food in pleasant
surroundings and avoid any of the cleaning and washing-up afterwards. Yet, what we are usually unaware of is that
eating out also has a dark side. According to the findings of a recent study, when we eat out, we are exposing our
body to phthalates. These toxic chemical substances can be found in the plastic equipment which is used to process
and serve food and may be responsible for some serious diseases, including diabetes and cancer. The researchers
discovered that the level of phthalates is 35% higher in people who regularly eat at restaurants, cafeterias, and
fast-food outlets and who, consequently, have more contact with plastic packaging, takeout boxes or heated
containers. What is even more alarming, this level was especially high among young people. Those who consume
most of their food when it has been purchased outside the home had a 55 % higher level of the contaminant than
those teenagers who ate home-cooked meals. In order to avoid exposure to these toxic substances, we shouldn’t
use polystyrene takeaway boxes but should ask for a bio-degradable container instead. If you eat out, take your
own ceramic or silicon container for any leftovers. Avoid processed food, have a meal prepared from locally grown,
natural ingredients.
And, last but not least, prepare food at home as often as possible, limiting the use of plastic utensils
at the same time.
1 Why has the author written the text?
A To make people aware of the risks when they eat out.
B To recommend special boxes for leftovers.
C To inform people about some new research.
2 Which information is true, according to the text?
A Restaurant workers prefer to use polystyrene takeaway boxes.
B 35% of restaurant customers have direct contact with dangerous chemicals.
C Regular contact with plastic equipment increases the risk of getting ill.

TEXT 2
Hi Meg,
I hope you are fine. You won’t believe it, but Josh and I finally decided to go on the cookery holiday in Italy that
we had always dreamt of! We spent a lovely week in Tuscany, enjoying the regional cuisine and taking part in the
daily cookery classes. The chefs chose some really easy dishes, which are all possible to prepare at home. We rolled
out our own pasta, made delicious sauces and learned to make pizza in a wood burning pizza oven. Our favourite
dessert was panna cotta, but Josh also learnt how to make a lemon pie.
We want to share this amazing experience with our friends, so we’ve decided to throw a Tuscany party.
Will Saturday at 8 pm suit you and Bill? Please do come and enjoy some Italian cuisine with us.
Hope you both can make it.
Love,
Vivien
3 What are Vivien and Josh doing at the moment?
A They are participating in a culinary course.
B They are planning a party at home.
C They are coming back home.
4 During the course, Vivien did not learn
A how to bake a lemon cake.
B how to prepare a pizza.
C how to season a sauce.

TEXT 3
Food is something that ought to play an important role in everyone’s life. It has the potential to reflect our origins
or social status or it can reveal the culture that we grew up in. It can both improve or damage our health. For some
people, like my brother, food is simply one basic human need and they would rather give it up if possible and only
exist on pills, like astronauts, in order to save time. For others, including my mum, food is so pleasurable that it
dominates their life. It also serves as a way to discover distant countries and people.
As for myself, food has always been connected with expressing my feelings towards my amazing family. I cook
nearly every day. I feel there is a little bit of me in the dishes I make and the tastes I create. I devote a lot of time
and thought to them. Then we sit around the same table and enjoy our meal. And you? What does food mean to
you?
