11
What kind of food do you like?
12
I like a bit of everything, really.
13
I grew up in the UK, and you can get food from all over the world there.
14
My mum’s cooking is a combination of different cuisines: a bit of French, a bit of Italian, a bit of Indian, and so on.
15
What’s British cuisine like?
16
I know about fish and chips, but there must be more… There is, but not that much.
17
There are a few famous dishes like shepherd’s pie or Sunday roast, but most people eat a mix of things.
18
What about you?
19
What food do you like?
20
I’m half Spanish, so when I was young we ate a lot of Mediterranean food at home.
21
Now, I live in Berlin, and it’s a pretty cosmopolitan place, so you can get all kinds of food, like the UK, I suppose.
22
I’ve never really had much Spanish food.
23
Is it similar to Italian?
24
In some ways, yes.
25
They both use a lot of fresh ingredients, and there’s a lot of seafood, salads, and so on.
26
Pasta isn’t so common in Spanish cooking, though.
27
What are some typical Spanish dishes?
28
I’d be interested to try some.
29
I guess paella is quite well-known.
30
My personal favourite is a dish called albondigas, which is meatballs in a tomato sauce.
31
It’s simple, but so tasty.
32
Sounds good!
33
Here’s a question: do you know the difference between the words ‘cuisine’, ‘dish’ and ‘meal’?
34
‘Cuisine’ means the kind of food you find in a specific country or culture.
35
For example, you have Chinese cuisine, French cuisine, local cuisine, and so on.
36
‘Cuisine’ means something like ‘cooking style’.
37
You can use the word ‘food’ or ‘cooking’ in the same way.
38
So, you can say ‘Chinese cuisine’, ‘Chinese cooking’ or ‘Chinese food’.
39
The meaning is very close.
40
A ‘dish’ means something which is cooked or prepared.
41
Usually, a dish is made from different kinds of food.
42
A ‘meal’ is food eaten at a specific time.
43
Most people eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
44
We often hear English learners make mistakes with these three words, so be careful with them!
45
In the dialogue, you heard how to talk about different cuisines and dishes which you like.
46
Look at some questions you heard.
47
Think about how you could answer these.
48
When you answer these questions, try to be detailed.
49
For example, don’t just say ‘Vietnamese food is delicious.’ Give some more details!
50
Say what kind of dishes are the best, or try to explain why you like it.
51
For example, you could say ‘Vietnamese food is delicious, because it uses fresh ingredients and it’s a little bit spicy, which I like.’ OK?
52
Pause the video and try to answer the questions now.
53
Could you do it?
54
If not, go back and listen to the dialogue again.
55
Next, let’s look at how to talk about food you like – or don’t!
56
So, what do you think?
57
Oh no! This is terrible!
58
Really? First, you haven’t cooked the meat long enough.
59
It’s tough and really chewy.
60
You need to keep cooking it until it’s tender.
61
I cooked it for two hours, just like you said!
62
Yes, but you also have to check that it’s done!
63
Also, these vegetables are awful.
64
They’re mushy because you’ve overcooked them.
65
They should be fresh and crunchy.
66
Right… What about the sauce?
67
It’s not bad, but it’s a little bland.
68
A dish like this should be rich, spicy and a little sour.
69
While you’re cooking, don’t forget to taste it, and add more spices, or more vinegar, or whatever it needs.
70
Hmm… OK… I’m a little scared to show you my dessert, now.
71
Ahh, wow! This is amazing!
72
Oh? You mean it?
73
Yes! It’s a perfect tart.
74
It’s crumbly, but not dry, which is a difficult balance to get right.
75
The fruit gives it a nice, tangy flavour.
76
Very tasty!
77
Thank you! To describe something you ate, you could start with the flavour.
78
For example, you can use words like ‘spicy’, ‘sour’, ‘sweet’, ‘bitter’, or ‘rich’.
79
‘Rich’ can be used to describe heavier foods.
80
You also heard ‘bland’ in the dialogue.
81
‘Bland’ describes something which has little or no flavour.
82
Then, you could also describe the texture.
83
In the dialogue, you heard the word ‘mushy’.
84
Do you know what this means?
85
‘Mushy’ means that something is soft, but in an unpleasant way.
86
If you cook vegetables too long, they’ll get mushy.
87
In the dialogue, you also heard ‘tough’, ‘chewy’, ‘tender’, ‘crunchy’ and ‘crumbly’.
88
Can you think of foods which these words could describe?
89
‘Tough’ and ‘chewy’ are similar.
90
Both describe foods which are difficult to eat because you have to chew them for a long time.
91
Meat can be tough or chewy, especially if it’s cooked too long and it gets dry.
92
‘Tender’ means something like ‘soft’, but it’s mostly used to describe meat which is cooked well, so it’s soft and juicy.
93
Crunchy foods make a lot of noise when you’re eating them.
94
Dry food – like potato chips, or hard cookies – can be crunchy.
95
Crumbly food is soft and easily breaks into pieces.
96
‘Crumbly’ can be good or bad – for a cake, it might be a good thing, but crumbly bread might be a bad thing, because it will fall apart when you try to do anything with it.
97
If you like the taste of something, you can use general adjectives like ‘great’, ‘amazing’ or ‘fantastic’.
98
You can also use ‘tasty’ or ‘delicious’.
99
Be careful: ‘delicious’ is a strong adjective.
100
That means you can’t say ‘very delicious’; if you want to add emphasis, say ‘really delicious’ or ‘absolutely delicious’.
101
To talk about food you don’t like, use general adjectives like ‘awful’, ‘terrible’ or ‘disgusting’.
102
Now, a challenge for you: think about the last thing you ate.
103
Could you describe it?
104
Talk about the flavour, the texture, and whether you liked it or not.
105
For a bonus, try to explain why you did or didn’t like it!
106
For example: ‘The last thing I ate was a lentil soup.
107
It was quite spicy, but a little bit mushy, because I overcooked the lentils.
108
I didn’t like it so much, because it was a little bland.
109
Lentils don’t have much flavour.’ Now it’s your turn.
110
Pause the video and make your answer.
111
Next, let’s see how you can talk about cooking habits.
112
Do you cook much?
113
Sometimes. I cook maybe twice a week, but I’m too busy to do more than that.
114
What do you do the rest of the time?
115
For lunch, I eat in the canteen at work.
116
In the evening, I generally get something from the supermarket, or get a takeaway.
117
I don’t like it, because I know it’s more expensive and less healthy than cooking for myself, but I just don’t have the time.
118
What about you?
119
I make most of my meals.
120
I don’t cook every day, though.
121
I normally do a lot of cooking on Sunday, and then I have food for the week.
122
I take a packed lunch to work, and then eat leftovers in the evening.
123
That’s a good system!
124
I wish I could be so organised… It helps that I have a market very close to my house.
125
They have great fresh produce, fish, meat… everything you need.
126
That means I don’t need to spend much time shopping.
127
Plus, I prefer eating home-cooked, fresh food.
128
If I don’t have food with me, I end up eating greasy fast food, and then I feel bloated and gross.
129
Yeah, I’m the same way… Maybe I’ll start cooking more.
130
Think about the first question you heard in the dialogue: ‘Do you cook much?’ How would you answer this?
131
You could say something like: ‘I cook every day.’ ‘I don’t cook much – maybe once or twice a week.’ ‘I don’t cook.
132
I’ve never learned how!’ If you don’t cook, what can you do for food?
133
You heard some phrases in the dialogue.
134
Do you remember?
135
Look at some sentences that you heard.
136
Imagine you’re an English teacher, and you want to explain the meanings of the words in red.
137
How would you do it?
138
A canteen is a bit like a restaurant, but it’s run by a company for its staff, or by a university for its students.
139
Canteens are usually cheap, or the food might even be free.
140
A takeaway means you buy or order the food from a restaurant, and then eat it somewhere else, usually at home.
141
A packed lunch means you take food from home and eat it at work or school.
142
If you cook more than you can eat, the extra food is called ‘leftovers’.
143
You can eat the leftovers on another day.
144
What about you?
145
Do you cook much?
146
If not, what do you do for food?
147
Pause the video now, and try to make a few sentences to describe your cooking and eating habits.
148
Done? Great!
149
Let’s look at our last point.
150
So, what do we do first?
151
First, we need to fry the aubergine and the potato.
152
While you do that, I’ll prepare the meat.
153
How are you going to do it?
154
It’s easy: you sauté onion and garlic, then add the meat to brown it.
155
Then you add the tomatoes and simmer it for fifteen minutes or so until the sauce thickens.
156
OK, what now?
157
Now we need to make the white sauce.
158
You know how to make white sauce?
159
I think so, though I’ve never tried it.
160
It’s butter, flour and milk, right?
161
Yes, but you need to be careful.
162
Add the milk very slowly, and stir the sauce continuously.
163
Otherwise, it can get lumpy.
164
Should I use a low heat?
165
Yes, as low as possible.
166
So, is that it?
167
Pretty much!
168
We just need to layer all the parts, sprinkle some grated cheese on top, and then bake it for half an hour.
169
What should I do, then?
170
Get a baking dish.
171
Put the potatoes in the bottom, then the aubergine, then the meat.
172
Add another layer of aubergine on top, then pour in the white sauce.
173
Is it ready?
174
Yeah, I think so.
175
It should be lightly brown on top.
176
Nice work – you made your first moussaka!
177
By the way, do you know what ‘moussaka’ is?
178
It’s a famous Greek dish.
179
It’s easy to find recipes online if you want to try making it.
180
In the dialogue, you heard several different verbs related to food preparation.
181
Do you remember any?
182
Look at some pairs of words.
183
Could you explain the difference in meaning between these words pairs?
184
Pause the video to think about it if you need time.
185
‘Sauté’ and ‘fry’ both mean to cook something in hot fat – usually hot oil.
186
‘Sauté’ means that you cook something at high temperature for a short time.
187
In everyday language, people mostly say ‘fry’, but if you’re reading a recipe or watching cooking shows on TV, you might see ‘sauté’.
188
‘Boil’ and ‘simmer’ both mean to heat a liquid until it bubbles; ‘simmer’ suggests you keep the heat as low as possible.
189
‘Boil’ means you use a higher heat.
190
‘Pour’ is only for liquids.
191
‘Sprinkle’ means to spread a small amount of something over something else.
192
‘Sprinkle’ is mostly used for powders or things made of small particles, like salt, herbs, grated cheese, and so on.
193
Now, it’s your turn.
194
Think about a dish you know how to make.
195
Your job is to give detailed instructions for how to make it.
196
Imagine you’re teaching someone, and you want to describe every step of the process.
197
Before you do this, you can watch the dialogue again.
198
There are many more words and phrases you can use to help you.
199
Pause the video, and say your answer out loud.
200
Or, you can write your answer down and share your recipe with other students in the comments!
201
That’s all.
202
Thanks for watching!
203
See you next time!

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
