健康,是天底下所有人都应该重视的问题。你,不关注。有可能你还很年轻,身体还很好!也有可能你想活一天算一天,打着“活在当下”的旗号,“宠着”自己,想吃啥吃啥,想熬夜就熬夜。咱们要感恩雅思,因为雅思口语考试,让咱们重视健康问题。目前,雅思口语的一,二,三部分题目都有考健康。如:What is healthy food? Do you prefer to eat at home or in the restaurants?
看看下面媒体的健康报道,咱们学些新鲜词汇。
BBC英国问答 Healthy Food 健康食品
Yang Li: 大家好,我是杨莉。 今天的英国问答节目我们谈谈英国人的健康饮食。我的搭档是 William Kremer. Hi William.
William: Hi there Li. I am sure this will be of interest to everyone as Chinese people are very health conscious, aren’t they?
Yang Li: Yes they are. 中国人的健康意识很强。 But today’s question is about British people. Here is the question from Jing.
I have noticed lots of food in the UK marked with ‘low fat’and I want to know what do British people think about healthy food?
William: It’s true that a lot of food packaging is marked ‘low fat’.
Yang Li Low fat.
William: But there are other factors that people are concerned about as well. Listen to Clinton:
I would read the labelto check what artificial ingredientsare placed in the food and then make my decision based upon how naturalthe product was and what preservativesand artificial colourings, etc, are included in the product.
William: Clinton tends to check on the following: artificial ingredients, artificial colouring and preservatives.
Yang Li: artificial ingredients, artificial colouring, preservatives.
William: The next speaker is Lisa, a vegetarian.
I read the labels to see how much sugar, how much protein. I’m a vegetarianso it’s important for me to balanceall my kind of foods; so I like to check that there’s nothing meat or nothing gelatine.
William: Sugar and protein. She also checks that there’s no meat or gelatine in the food.
Personally I don't look at the labels but I know that fruit and vegetables are healthy and I try to buy plenty of them to feed my family. I then try to make sure that my children actually eat them.
William: You can’t go wrong with fruit and vegetables as they contain all the goodiessuch as Vitamin C and fibre.
Yang Li: That’s right. Moreover, there is a group of people who stick only to raw fruits and vegetables.
William: Now we know what a vegetarian is but a vegan would be someone who doesn’t use or consume animal products of any kind.
Yang Li: As we will hear in the next clip, healthy food is cooking from scratch.
Healthy food for me is cooking from scratch, using fresh ingredients, putting lots of love in it. Eating vegetables, fruit, meat, cereals, carbohydrates, as many colours as you can put on your plate and cooking it well, basically, and making it taste good, that’s important as well.
Yang Li: Cooking from scratch.
William: By using fresh ingredients and by putting lots of love into it. Which sounds fantastic! But I do agree with you Li, because cooking can be time consuming.
Yang Li: Time consuming.
William: Then she also emphasized that it’s important to make your food taste good.
Yang Li: I can’t agree more. Taste is equally important. This is what we call in Chinese 既有营养,又色香味俱全。
