5   Improve this essay by replacing the words in italics with ONE OR TWO words from  this unit.

In the future we won't have to worry about what we eat. We'll just take a tablet to give us all that our body needs and cooking will become a thing of the past.

In our modern world we often look for quick solutions to our problems. We expect to be able to achieve a great deal with little effort. But I don't believe we can apply this notion to our diet and still remain healthy. Preparing a healthy meal can take a lot of time. First you need to have fresh ingredients. Pre-packaged foods can contain a lot of unhealthy additives and so they are not as ¹ good for your body as fresh food. You also need to make sure to include ² a lot of different foods to make sure that you receive all of the vitamins and minerals that are ³ very, very important to a healthy diet. It is not surprising then that some people want to find a simple solution to this in the form of a pill. Fast foods are very high in fat, sugar and salt and so we should eat them in small amounts. For some people, however, these foods have become their staple diet and as a result they are ⁴ fat. If we want to ⁵ stop this from becoming an even bigger problem in the future then we need to address this situation now. While vitamin tablets may be of some benefit, they are unlikely to be effective in the fight against ⁶ people getting too fat.

Health authorities need to increase public awareness of these issues, but we also need to be realistic. Fast food is popular not only because it is convenient but also because it is tasty. Perhaps we should ⁷ strongly advise that people who eat fast food every day should at least ⁸ swap fast food with fresh food on every second day. Finally, we eat for pleasure as well as nutrition and for this reason I believe that pills will never replace well-cooked food.

 

Đáp án:

1. nutritious

2. variety of

3. vital

4. overweight

5. prevent

6. obesity

7. recommend

8. alternate

 

6   Answer the questions. Write one or two sentences.

1  Do you think young people are more or less fit than 50 years ago? (Why?/ Why not?)

2   In what way is your diet different from when you were a young child?

3   What changes do you think will occur in our diet in the future?

 

Đáp án mẫu:

1. I think in some ways we are less fit than 50 years ago because obesity was less of a problem then. But we're also healthier in that we are more aware of the risks of smoking. Although exercise has become more popular, fewer children participate in sports than 50 years ago because now they spend too much time playing computer games, which weren't around 50 years ago.

2. When I was young my mum cooked all of our meals and she would spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Now that I live by myself I find I'm too busy to cook or shop for food, so I tend to eat too much junk food nowadays.

3. I hope that they will stop making food with so many additives in and that fast food will become a lot healthier. I also think there will be more variety in fast food.
