1
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
2
Welcome to the introduction of our food safety course.
3
Our course will last for two years, with the first year dedicated to learning foundational elements that will prepare you for your future job.
4
One important aspect we will cover is the role of food distribution in food safety.
5
As products are often manufactured far from where they are consumed,
6
improper sanitation of containers and vehicles used for transportation can easily lead to contamination.
7
Moving on, let's discuss the job prospects associated with this course.
8
Due to the critical nature of food safety, the role of food inspectors emerged years ago.
9
Their noble responsibilities include supervising factories and restaurants to ensure compliance with official regulations and food safety rules.
10
This profession is deeply connected to the safety of many people.
11
It is crucial to note that candidates aspiring to excel in this field should possess specific expertise and knowledge related to biology.
12
By acquiring relevant knowledge, your job as a food inspector will become more manageable.
13
So, I hope you can all work hard and prepare yourself for this meaningful and rewarding job.
14
Moving on to the second year, you will participate in a series of one-on-one training sessions focused on food safety management.
15
These sessions will cover various skills, such as supervising the production of different types of food products and creating regulations to address improper operations.
16
These aspects are not typically covered in food science programs, which mainly concentrate on the biological aspects of food.
17
At the end of the training,
18
you will be required to submit papers discussing fresh perspectives on factors that are often overlooked by food manufacturers.
19
Now, let me give you some ideas about on what to include in your papers.
20
Most manufacturers produce food products in large quantities, so companies should leave certain rooms or a warehouse for food storage.
21
Extra ingredients and products can be kept there before they are used or transported.
22
If there is no fixed place for piling up these things, they are very likely to be contaminated, which could cause food poisoning.
23
Some food manufacturers fail to do this, so it becomes your duty to regulate them.
24
In the stage of food processing, the factories should make sure their machines and equipment are sanitized and the workers should wear uniforms to avoid food contamination.
25
You will set the standards and rules and see how they are carried out.
26
Many people and companies neglect the importance of food packaging.
27
They didn't know that dirty or even poisonous materials used in this step can pollute the food and even harm the customers.
28
Therefore, factories should use packaging materials that meet the food safety standards.
29
Finally, you can also write about the potential issues that customers may encounter once the food is placed on supermarket shelves.
30
Customers should read the labels on the food products carefully before they make the purchase.
31
They should check things like expiration date to see how much longer the food can be kept.
32
Expired food is harmful to health, so everyone should avoid consuming it it.
33
Moreover, some food should be cooked in the right way.
34
For example, if beef or other meat products are cooked in a microwave, the high temperature can alter the chemical structure of the protein,
35
potentially compromising its nutritional value.
36
And certain foods can even become poisonous if cooked with others.
37
Food safety is widely recognized as a critical issue, and it requires the collaboration of various social units to promote
38
continuous improvement therefore I believe it is essential for food manufacturers
39
and businesses to extend financial support to universities as it directly
40
impacts the well-being of all citizens all right now I will briefly talk about how you're
41
that is the end of part four you now have half a a minute to check your answers to part four
42
You now have two minutes to check all your answers.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
