Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Everyday English Academy, where we make English simple and enjoyable.
2
I'm Sarah.
3
And I'm Mike.
4
Hello to all our wonderful listeners wherever you are in the world right now.
5
So, Mike, you've been quiet today.
6
What's wrong?
7
Okay, I need to tell you something.
8
Go on.
9
So, my food delivery driver, he waved at me yesterday.
10
A real friendly wave.
11
Aw, that's nice, Mike.
12
No, it was more than a wave.
13
He knows me, Sarah.
14
He knows my name, my building.
15
He knows I always ask for extra sauce.
16
Extra sauce is your signature move.
17
He said, see you tomorrow, Mike.
18
And I just nodded because he was probably right.
19
Mike, that is not a friend.
20
That's a warning sign.
21
A warning sign?
22
He's very polite.
23
When the delivery guy plans his whole week around your dinner, it's time to look in the mirror.
24
Okay, that's a little bit fair.
25
But in my defense, his food is really good.
26
I'm sure it is.
27
But Mike, be honest.
28
When was the last time you cooked?
29
With a pan.
30
On a stove.
31
Define cooked.
32
Oh, that pause told me everything.
33
I made toast on Tuesday. That counts.
34
Toast does not count as cooking.
35
It was very good toast.
36
You know what?
37
This is perfect, because you, Mike, are the reason for today's episode.
38
Me?
39
I'm the reason?
40
So basically, I'm the bad example.
41
You really are.
42
So today, we're talking about home cooking versus takeout food.
43
Cooking at home or ordering food from a restaurant.
44
And these two things, they start wars, Sarah.
45
Wars in your kitchen.
46
In every kitchen.
47
And along the way, we'll teach you loads of useful words for food, cooking, and ordering.
48
Real English you can use tonight.
49
And here's the fun part.
50
Mike and I are complete opposites on this.
51
Completely.
52
Sarah loves cooking.
53
She chops.
54
She stirs.
55
She's happy in there.
56
And Mike, well, his kitchen is basically for decoration.
57
My kitchen is beautiful and unused.
58
like a museum.
59
A sad, empty museum.
60
So, listeners, quick question for you right now.
61
Which one are you?
62
Do you love cooking at home, or are you more of a takeout person?
63
Tell us in the comments.
64
One word is fine.
65
And be honest.
66
No lying to make yourself look good.
67
He's talking to himself there.
68
I'm talking to everyone.
69
Now, Mike, I'll be nice.
70
I'll let you go first.
71
Defend your takeout life.
72
But I'm warning you, later, I'll show you the one thing I do that saves me so much money.
73
Ooh, a mystery.
74
Okay, I'll wait for that.
75
You wait.
76
It's a good one.
77
All right, let me defend takeout because I have good reasons.
78
I'm listening.
79
This should be entertaining.
80
Reason number one, it's fast.
81
I'm hungry.
82
I'm tired.
83
I don't want to cook.
84
So I order in.
85
Ooh, order in.
86
Let's stop there for a second.
87
Mike, explain that one.
88
Sure.
89
Order in means you order food and it comes to your house.
90
You stay on your sofa.
91
The food travels, not you.
92
And the opposite is dine in, right?
93
Right.
94
Dine in means you eat at the restaurant.
95
You sit at their table.
96
They bring your food.
97
You dine in.
98
So dine in, you go out, order in, it comes to you.
99
Exactly.
100
And guess which one I choose 99% of the time.
101
Order in, obviously.
102
You never leave the house.
103
The sofa is my restaurant, Sarah.
104
And honestly, this week, I mean, I've, hmm, wait.
105
Do I say I've had takeout twice this week or had?
106
Because the week isn't finished.
107
Ooh, good one.
108
Okay, listeners, think fast.
109
The week is still going.
110
I've had takeout twice this week or I had.
111
What's your gut feeling, Mike?
112
Hmm, the week isn't over yet.
113
It's still happening.
114
So I feel like it's the have one.
115
Yes, perfect.
116
I've had takeout twice this week already because this week isn't finished.
117
Present perfect.
118
Nice work.
119
See, I'm learning too.
120
Even the bad example learns.
121
Progress.
122
Progress.
123
Okay, keep defending yourself.
124
Okay, reason number two.
125
Takeout is convenient.
126
Convenient.
127
Big useful word.
128
Say what it means.
129
Convenient means it's easy and it saves you time and effort.
130
No shopping, no cooking, no washing up.
131
Very convenient.
132
A convenient life.
133
A lazy life, but convenient.
134
Hey, there's a difference.
135
And reason number three, and this is a real thing, the craving.
136
Ah, the craving.
137
Explain that one for our listeners.
138
A craving is when you really want a specific food.
139
Not just hungry, you need that exact thing.
140
Like suddenly at 10 p.m.
141
I have a craving for spicy noodles.
142
Nothing else will make me happy.
143
I know that feeling.
144
Last week I had a craving for chocolate cake at midnight.
145
It was dangerous.
146
See?
147
Even team cooking gets cravings.
148
Everyone gets cravings, Mike.
149
But most people don't call the delivery guy their friend.
150
Okay, true.
151
And here's my last point.
152
I don't order in every day.
153
So when I do, it feels special.
154
Okay, so it depends.. on the day?
155
Right.
156
It depends… hmm.
157
It depends of the day or on the day.
158
I always mix that up.
159
Classic trap.
160
Listeners, which preposition?
161
Depends of or depends on?
162
Think about it, Mike.
163
Uh, they sound so similar in my head, but I hear depends on more often.
164
I'll go with on.
165
Yes, it depends on.
166
Always on.
167
Great instinct.
168
So my point was, some nights I cook, some nights I don't.
169
It depends on how tired I am.
170
And on those special nights, you splurge.
171
Ooh, splurge.
172
I love that word.
173
Explain it, Sarah.
174
You're better at it.
175
Fine.
176
To splurge means to spend more money than usual on something you really want, a treat.
177
Like, it's Friday, I worked hard, I'm going to splurge on a fancy burger.
178
Yes, I splurge on good food.
179
That's not lazy.
180
That's rewarding myself.
181
It's cute how you make it sound noble.
182
Everything I do is noble, Sarah.
183
Sure.
184
Okay, so takeout is fast, convenient, good for cravings, and fun to splurge on.
185
That's actually a solid case.
186
Thank you.
187
Finally, some respect.
188
Don't get comfortable.
189
I haven't started yet.
190
Oh no. But first, listeners, this one's for you.
191
What's your go-to takeout order?
192
Your usual, the one you always get.
193
Go-to.
194
Good phrase there, Sarah.
195
Your go-to is the thing you always choose.
196
Your default, your favorite.
197
Right.
198
Like, pizza is my go-to when I'm lazy.
199
Mike, what's your go-to?
200
Easy.
201
Spicy noodles.
202
Every time.
203
It's my comfort food.
204
Comfort food.
205
Another good one.
206
Comfort food is food that makes you feel warm and happy inside, usually from your childhood.
207
Yes.
208
Noodles hug my soul.
209
Noodles hug my soul.
210
Put that on a t-shirt.
211
I might.
212
Listeners, tell us your go-to order in the comments.
213
I bet a lot of you say pizza.
214
Okay, my turn.
215
Deep breath, Mike.
216
Team home cooking is entering the room.
217
Ah, here we go. Be gentle.
218
I'll try.
219
So, reason number one for cooking at home.
220
You control the ingredients.
221
Ingredients.
222
Say what that means for everyone.
223
Ingredients are the different foods you use to make a dish.
224
Like for a salad, the ingredients are lettuce, tomato, cheese, oil, all the parts.
225
Ah, so when you cook, you choose every ingredient.
226
Exactly.
227
I know exactly what's in my food.
228
Not too much salt, not too much oil.
229
When you order in, you have no idea what's inside.
230
That's true.
231
I don't ask.
232
I don't want to know.
233
Ignorance is bliss for you.
234
And honestly, I just love it.
235
I really enjoy… Do I say I enjoy cooking new recipes or to cook new recipes?
236
After enjoy.
237
Okay, listeners.
238
After enjoy, what comes next?
239
The ing word or the to word?
240
What do you think, Sarah?
241
I enjoy to cook sounds a bit off to my ear.
242
I think it's I enjoy cooking.
243
Correct.
244
After enjoy, we use the ing form.
245
I enjoy cooking.
246
Okay, reason number two.
247
Cooking is cheaper.
248
Way cheaper.
249
Okay, but is it, though?
250
Ingredients cost money, too.
251
They do, but here's the secret.
252
When I cook, I make a big portion.
253
Portion.
254
What's a portion?
255
A portion is the amount of food for one person, one serving.
256
But when I cook, I make a big batch, enough for four portions.
257
Oh, so you cook once, but you eat more than once?
258
That's the money secret I promised you, remember?
259
I make a big pot on Sunday, then I have leftovers for two or three days.
260
Leftovers.
261
That's the food that's left after the meal.
262
the extra food you save.
263
Yes!
264
Leftovers are magic.
265
I cook one time and I eat four times.
266
That's the thing that saves me so much money.
267
Oh, that's actually really smart.
268
And I throw my leftover boxes in the bin.
269
Mike, those are treasures.
270
They're scary after two days.
271
I don't trust them.
272
Because they're takeout leftovers.
273
Home-cooked leftovers are lovely.
274
And I cook everything from scratch.
275
From scratch, meaning?
276
From scratch means you make it from the basic raw ingredients.
277
No packet, no ready-made stuff.
278
You start from zero, like making a cake from flour and eggs, not from a box.
279
So you make everything from scratch, and I open a box and cry.
280
Poetic, but yes.
281
Okay, I'll admit, the leftovers trick is clever.
282
But cooking takes time, Sarah.
283
That's my problem.
284
Sometimes, but not always.
285
Some dishes are super quick,
286
and honestly, cooking is one of the most popular hmm most popular what wait is it the more popular dishes
287
or the most popular dishes when i say one of the
288
oh comparing time listeners after one of the do we say more popular or most popular take a guess
289
What do you feel, Sarah?
290
Hmm, one of the more popular or one of the most popular.
291
I think when it's one of the, we go all the way to the top.
292
Most popular.
293
Correct.
294
One of the most popular dishes.
295
After one of the, you use the superlative, the most form.
296
Great catch.
297
Phew.
298
Okay, so what I was saying before you interrupted my brain.
299
Rude.
300
is that pasta is one of the most popular dishes in the world, and you can make it in 10 minutes.
301
It's the ultimate comfort food.
302
10 minutes?
303
Really?
304
Really.
305
Boil water, add pasta, add sauce.
306
Done.
307
See, when you say it, it sounds easy.
308
When I do it, the kitchen catches fire.
309
Speaking of which, wait until you hear what I did with a whisk.
310
A whisk?
311
What did you do with a whisk?
312
Later, it's too painful.
313
You can't say that and then leave.
314
Okay, no, we're going into the kitchen now because this is where it gets fun.
315
For you, fun.
316
For me, trauma.
317
Let's teach the actual cooking words, because you can't cook if you don't know the verbs.
318
So, Mike, first one, to peel.
319
Peel, I know this one.
320
To peel means to take the skin off a fruit or vegetable.
321
Like you peel a banana, you peel a potato.
322
Yes, perfect.
323
You remove the outside skin.
324
And you can do it.
325
It's easy.
326
I can peel.
327
Peeling is my one skill.
328
We found it.
329
Next, to stir.
330
To stir is when you mix something in a circle with a spoon, round and round.
331
Exactly.
332
You stir the soup so it doesn't stick.
333
Stir, stir, stir.
334
And here's a slow one, to simmer.
335
Ooh, I don't really know that one.
336
Simmer means to cook something gently in liquid on low heat.
337
Not big, crazy boiling bubbles, just small, quiet bubbles.
338
You simmer a sauce slowly so it gets tasty.
339
So boiling is loud and angry.
340
Simmering is calm and gentle.
341
That's a great way to remember it.
342
Boiling is a rock concert.
343
Simmering is a spa.
344
Simmering is a spa.
345
I love that.
346
My cooking is always the rock concert, though.
347
Everything is on maximum fire alarm every time.
348
Of course it is.
349
You need to learn the spa life, Mike.
350
The spa life.
351
My noodles have never simmered once in their life they've only screamed.
352
Okay, next word, to season.
353
This one's important.
354
Season?
355
Like winter and summer?
356
No, no, different meaning.
357
To season food means to add salt, pepper, and spices to give it flavor.
358
You season your food so it tastes good.
359
Ah, so if food is boring and has no taste… You didn't season it enough.
360
Don't forget to season the chicken.
361
Very common thing to hear in a kitchen.
362
Okay, that explains a lot about my cooking, actually.
363
You never season?
364
I thought food just tasted like something on its own, naturally.
365
Oh, Mike, no. You have to help it.
366
That's why your food is sad.
367
My food is sad.
368
You're right.
369
It needs seasoning therapy.
370
Okay.
371
And now the whisk.
372
A whisk, for everyone listening, a whisk is that kitchen tool with the loops of wire.
373
You use it to whisk eggs to mix them really fast.
374
Right.
375
You whisk eggs to make them light and fluffy.
376
Okay, so now you know a few real cooking rules.
377
And here's one to remember.
378
If you cook rice too long, it burns.
379
Oh, that's happened to me.
380
Wait, how do you say that as a rule?
381
If you cook the rice too long or if you will cook the rice too long?
382
Great grammar question.
383
Listeners, in this kind of if rule, do we use cook or will cook?
384
What's your feeling, Mike?
385
Hmm.
386
It's a general rule.
387
Always true.
388
I don't think I need will there.
389
I'll say just cook.
390
Yes, perfect.
391
If you cook the rice too long, it burns.
392
In these general rules, no will after if.
393
Just the simple form.
394
Nice.
395
And trust me, I know this rule from experience.
396
So much burnt rice.
397
Poor rice.
398
Speaking of disasters, tell me about your worst one.
399
What were you even doing?
400
Oh, the pasta disaster.
401
So I, hmm, I cooked dinner when you called me, or I was cooking dinner when you called me.
402
The phone rang in the middle.
403
Ooh, two actions.
404
Listeners, which one?
405
Think about it.
406
One action was happening.
407
The other one interrupted it.
408
Right.
409
So the cooking was already happening, and the call jumped in.
410
I think was cooking.
411
Yes, I was cooking dinner when you called.
412
Past continuous for the long action, past simple for the interruption.
413
Beautiful.
414
Okay, let's do something fun for everyone at home.
415
A quick listen and repeat.
416
Ready?
417
Ready.
418
Okay, listen to each sentence, then say it back out loud.
419
Here we go.
420
Let's cook something at home tonight.
421
I'll peel the potatoes.
422
Can we order in instead?
423
Don't forget to season the soup.
424
Save some for tomorrow.
425
Nice work, everyone.
426
Say those a few more times while you're doing the dishes.
427
Exactly.
428
You're probably in the kitchen right now.
429
Perfect practice.
430
And I'll peel the potatoes.
431
That's my line.
432
My one skill, remember?
433
You're peeling, Ara.
434
We're all so proud.
435
Thank you, thank you.
436
Okay, so now we've heard both sides.
437
My money-saving leftovers, your delivery driver friendship.
438
He waved.
439
It was meaningful. So where's the truth?
440
Is one side right?
441
Honestly, maybe not.
442
Maybe it's a mix.
443
I think so, too.
444
And I'll admit something.
445
Some nights, even I don't want to cook.
446
What?
447
Team home cooking is breaking?
448
I'm human, Mike.
449
If I've had a long, terrible day, I'm not chopping onions.
450
I'm ordering in like everybody else.
451
I feel so seen right now. So validated.
452
Don't get used to it.
453
So maybe the real answer is balance.
454
Cook most of the time and keep takeout as a splurge.
455
Yes, that's it exactly.
456
Cook simple things at home during the week.
457
Pasta, eggs, a quick soup.
458
Save your money.
459
And then, on the weekend, order your favorite thing and enjoy it with zero guilt.
460
No guilt.
461
You cooked all week.
462
You earned it.
463
That's a smart splurge.
464
See, this I can do.
465
Cook the boring nights, splurge the fun nights.
466
And here's a tip for our beginners at home.
467
Learn to cook just three easy things.
468
That's all.
469
Three go-to meals.
470
Only three?
471
Only three.
472
If you can make three simple dishes, you'll cook way more and order in way less.
473
It's not about being a chef.
474
I like that.
475
My three could be toast, toast, and toast.
476
No!
477
Three different things, Mike.
478
Fine.
479
Pasta, eggs, and one soup I'll learn from you.
480
Deal.
481
I'll teach you.
482
We'll simmer it gently.
483
Spa life.
484
Spa life.
485
Okay, listeners, now we really want to hear from you.
486
This is the big one.
487
Tell us your worst kitchen disaster.
488
Yes.
489
Did you burn something?
490
Flood the kitchen?
491
Press a whisk like a button?
492
That's my story.
493
Don't steal it.
494
Sorry, sorry.
495
But seriously, tell us in the comments.
496
Make us laugh.
497
We read every single one.
498
We really do.
499
And it makes us feel better about our own disasters.
500
Okay, before we go, let's do a quick review of the words we learned today.
501
Ready, Mike?
502
Ready.
503
First, order in, food comes to your home, and dine in.
504
You eat at the restaurant.
505
Convenient, easy, and it saves you time and effort.
506
Craving, when you really, really want a specific food.
507
Go to, your usual choice, your favorite default.
508
Splurge, to spend more than usual on a nice treat.
509
Ingredients, all the different foods in a dish.
510
And portion, the amount for one person.
511
Leftovers, the extra food you save for later.
512
Sarah's money secret.
513
The best secret.
514
Peel, take the skin off.
515
Stir, mix in a circle.
516
Simmer, cook gently on low heat.
517

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "Cooking at Home vs Ordering Out | English Speaking Practice" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
