Audio Transcripts:
Speaker 1
I’m Maria, and where I live, we structure our days around mealtimes. Lunch is
the main meal, which often includes dishes like sausage and seafood. We enjoy
pastries for dessert and top it all off with coffee or wine. After stuffing ourselves,
we take a lengthy nap. Dinner is not served until 9:00 p.m., so we snack to
endure the stretch between meals. We even have a word for the way we do it:
tapas. When going out for tapas, we share small plates of food with our friends.

Audio Transcripts:
Speaker 2
My name is Julius, and people in my country have hearty appetites. Like
many other Asian cultures, rice is our staple dish. We serve our food with various
dipping sauces. Fried food typically goes with vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, or a
combination of these. But where our food really shines is during fiestas! My
favorite party dish is afritada, which is chicken or pork simmered in tomato sauce.

Speaker 3
I’m Soojee. As you’ve probably heard, kimchi is my nation’s most famous
cuisine. It’s a side dish made out of vegetables and flavored with ginger and
garlic. Most families have their own secret recipes, and we consume more garlic
than any other country! We also eat lots of steamed rice and soup, and everyone
loves our barbecue. Our common cooking techniques of grilling, stir-frying, and
stewing are all quite healthy, so we don’t eat too much fat.

Richard:
Hi! I’m your nutritionist, Helen. I’m here to show you how to adopt a
nutritious diet.
OK. Tell me your plan.
We’ll start with exotic dishes, like Vietnamese cuisine. It’s low in fat
because they cook with water or broth instead of butter or coconutbased sauces, and they use herbs or spices as seasoning.
Aren’t those green? Sounds suspiciously like vegetables.
Some herbs are green, like mint, but some spices are colorful, like
spicy chili peppers. Vegetables will become a diet requirement though.
Cabbage contains lots of calcium, and mushrooms are rich in vitamins.
What else?
There is one type of oil we may use: olive oil. Popular in
Mediterranean dishes, it helps to lower your risk of heart disease.
Italian food is fine, I guess.
Great. You’ll also get more protein by eating nuts. When you do eat
meat, it will be seafood, and we’ll bake or stir-fry it.
I’d rather have the alternative, but I’ll give it a shot.

Dr. Mark: Welcome to this week’s Shopaholics Anonymous meeting. I’m Dr.
Mark, and I will help you kick your destructive shopping habits. Toby,
would you like to start?
Toby:
OK. I’ve had an itch for shopping since I was 13. I have a real soft
spot for accessories and used to own 43 belts! Yesterday, I took a
big step towards recovery: I donated them all to a shelter.
Dr. Mark: Congratulations! Patrick, would you like to share next?
Patrick:
Sure. My shopping addiction, video games, started as a recreational
activity with friends. If they bought a game, I’d buy it too so that I could
keep up. But now, I’m completely hooked on it. I can’t resist buying
new games, regardless of how hard I try.
Dr. Mark: Thanks for contributing to the discussion. I had a weakness for
buying costly business suits before. I was particularly partial to having
them tailored. Then I realized I was wasting lots of money, so I went
cold turkey and sold all but two of them.

Well, I took my advanced mathematics final two days ago, and I haven’t
gotten my grade yet. If I don’t get over 90 percent, I won’t pass the
class. So I’m sitting on pins and needles.
Doug:
At least it’s over. I’m anxious about our business management course. I
can’t believe each of us has to deliver a marketing presentation to the
class. It’s still two days away, but I get butterflies in my stomach
whenever I think about it.
Emma:
Thankfully, I’m usually quite articulate during public speaking, so I’m not
concerned about that one. I just feel on edge about the mathematics
exam results. I would rather die than retake that class.

READING
Experts predict that nine billion people will populate the Earth by
2050. Medical advancements have caused the average life span
and birth survival rate to surge. These are outstanding successes,
but they’ve created a problem: as farmland disappears due to
overpopulation, what will people eat? If scientists don’t discover an
answer, the world might face a food crisis. Thankfully, there are
possible solutions.

34
READING
Vertical farming is the concept of cultivating food within skyscrapers. Using
advanced greenhouse technology, it’s feasible to produce fruit and vegetables
indoors. If this idea becomes reality, it will require significantly less land than fields.
In fact, a 30-story building with a five-acre-wide base could yield a yearly harvest
equivalent to 2,400 acres. This exceeds traditional farming output because plants
inside a building are sheltered from the weather. With climate, water, and light
control, the effects of temperature, droughts, and cloudy days are eliminated. Crops
can be grown year-round. It’s also beneficial that vertical farms can be constructed
in close proximity to urban areas. As much as 30 percent of crops are wasted due
to spoilage during transport. With a shorter distance between food and consumers,
harvested produce can be delivered while it’s still fresh.
p.41
p.42
35
READING
Indoor plant production has already been successfully
implemented in Japan. The country has about 50 fully operational
factories that grow everything from lettuce to strawberries. These
facilities pump out food two to four times faster than traditional
farming. When functioning at full capacity, they can produce up to
three million vegetables per year!

p.42
36
READING
Meat, on the other hand, will be trickier to copy, yet it is as essential as plants.
Livestock consume more energy per food unit than any plant crop. For example,
one pound of beef requires 16 pounds of grain and 2,500 gallons of water.
Obviously, if everyone became a vegetarian, this would no longer be a problem. But
a campaign to convince billions of omnivorous* humans to stop eating meat
wouldn’t stand a chance. Thus, scientists are experimenting to create meat. To
accomplish this, cells are taken from live animals and stored to grow into meat over
time. In theory, this process could meet global demands. However, the idea is still in
its infancy.
For Your Reference

While most people don’t consider mealtime a competitive event,
eating competitions take place around the world.
Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest has been held every year since
1970. Competitors have to consume as many hot dogs as they can
in ten minutes. ESPN televises the event live!
Support
In the popular TV show Man v. Food, the host, Adam, travels across
America to compete in different restaurants’ eating challenges. In
one episode, he needed to eat a 2 kg steak in less than an hour,
along with several side dishes.
Support

Introduction:
Introduce your
argument.
While most people don’t consider mealtime a competitive
event, eating competitions take place around the world. Such
competitions communicate that overeating is fun, but it’s
actually dangerous and wasteful.

Write a 140-word argumentative essay for or against eating
competitions. Include the conditional structures you’ve learned.
Eating contests have many harmful results. For example,
Body:

competitions require participants to eat as much as they can in
a short amount of time. If competitors eat too much, as they
always do, they will suffer from severe weight gain. One
instance of this is Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Contestants consume as many hot dogs as possible in ten
minutes.
This practice is also wasteful. Take the case of Man v. Food,
the show where host Adam travels across America to take on
restaurants’ eating challenges. If the food prepared for this one
man was distributed to shelters, imagine how many hungry
people would be fed!

Even eating contests that are supposed to be for a good
cause, like the “Big Teplitzky Challenge,” have negative points.
The event is a fundraiser for those facing hardships in the city,
but money that could be given to the cause is spent on the
meals made for the competition. Not to mention the fact that
most of the prepared food will go uneaten anyway. Why not
just donate all the money raised instead?
Conclusion:
Restate your
position.
Fans of eating competitions should realize the world is full
of starving people. Band together to feed the hungry rather
than stuffing your bellies!
