Unit 1 Food for thought

Using language

7 Listen to the conversation and tick the food and drinks ordered.

Waiter: Are you ready to order?

Janet: Yes. I'm trying to eat more healthily, so I'll just have a salad to start.

Waiter: Sure. What kind of dressing would you like on that?

Janet: I'd like to have...

Harriet: [interrupting] Not a good idea, Janet. Salad with dressing always has a lot of sugar and fat, as well as unhealthy chemicals.

Janet: Oh dear, maybe I won't have any dressing, then.

Waiter: OK. Do you want anything to drink? We have soft drinks, juice, tea and coffee.

Janet: The juice must be healthy. It comes from fruit, right? I think I'll have that.

Harriet: Don't be so sure! Did you know that a lot of fruit juice only has a small amount of real fruit? It mainly contains chemicals that taste like fruit. Even 100% fruit juice can have as much sugar as soft drinks.

Janet: Uh, maybe I'll just have some water, then.

Waiter: Fine. How about dessert?

Janet: Do you have fat-free yoghurt?

Harriet: [interrupting] Sorry, but there's a big problem with fat-free yoghurt, Janet. Yoghurt tastes very bad without fat. That's why they add a lot of sugar to make it taste better. And you know sugar can be harmful if you eat too much.

Janet: Oh, I see. Thanks for the advice, Harriet... I'll have a salad with no dressing and a glass of water. And I won't have dessert.

Waiter: No problem. And, for you, madam? What would you like to order?

Harriet: Oh, I'll have a double hamburger with French fries and a cola.

Janet: What?

Harriet: Aha... Just joking. I'll have the same as she ordered. Thanks!
