Part 3.
2
You will hear two food science students called Marie and Colin discussing their final year projects.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
5
I haven't seen you for a bit, Marie.
6
No, I've been busy with my project.
7
You're making a vegan alternative to eggs, aren't you?
8
Something that doesn't use animal products.
9
Yes, I'm using chickpeas.
10
I had two main aims when I first started looking for an alternative to eggs.
11
But actually, I've found chickpeas have got more advantages.
12
Right.
13
But how about your project on reusing waste food?
14
You were looking at bread, weren't you?
15
Yes, it's been hard work, but I've enjoyed it.
16
The basic process was quite straightforward, breaking the stale bread down to a paste, then reforming it.
17
But you were using 3D printing, weren't you, to make the paste into biscuits?
18
Yeah, I'd used that before, but in this project I had time to play around with different patterns for the biscuits
19
and finding how I could add fruit and vegetables to make them a more appetising colour.
20
And I was really pleased with what I managed to produce.
21
It must have been a great feeling to make something appetising out of bits of old bread
22
that would have been thrown away otherwise.
23
It was.
24
And I'm hoping that some of the restaurants in town will be interested in the biscuits.
25
I'm going to send them some samples.
26
I came across something on the internet yesterday that might interest you.
27
It was a company that's developed touch-sensitive sensors for food labels.
28
It's a special sort of label on the food package.
29
When the label's smooth, the food is fresh.
30
And then when you can feel bumps on the label, that means the food's gone bad.
31
It started off as a project to help visually impaired people know whether food was fit to eat or not.
32
Interesting.
33
So just solid food?
34
No. Things like milk and juice as well.
35
But actually, I thought it might be really good for drug storage in hospitals and pharmacies.
36
Right.
37
And coming back to food, maybe it'd be possible to use it for other things besides freshness,
38
like how many kilograms a joint of meat is, for example.
39
Yes, there's all sorts of possibilities.
40
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
41
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
42
I was reading an article about food trends predicting how eating habits might change in the next few years.
43
Oh, things like more focus on local products.
44
That seems so obvious, but the shops are still full of imported foods.
45
Yes, they need to be more proactive to address that.
46
And somehow motivate consumers to change, yes.
47
One thing everyone's aware of is the need for a reduction in unnecessary packaging.
48
But just about everything you buy in supermarkets is still covered in plastic.
49
The government needs to do something about it.
50
Absolutely.
51
It's got to change.
52
Do you think there'll be more interest in gluten and lactose-free food?
53
For people with allergies or food intolerances?
54
I don't know.
55
Lots of people I know have been buying that type of food for years now.
56
Yes, even if they haven't been diagnosed with an allergy.
57
That's right.
58
One thing I've noticed is the number of branded products related to celebrity chefs.
59
People watch them cooking on TV and then buy things like spice mixes or frozen foods with the chef's name on.
60
I bought something like that once, but I won't again.
61
Yeah, I bought a ready-made spice mix for chicken, which was supposed to be used by a chef I'd seen on television.
62
And it didn't actually taste of anything.
63
Hmm.
64
Did the article mention ghost kitchens used to produce takeaway food?
65
No. What are they?
66
Well, they might have the name of a restaurant, but actually they're a cooking facility just for delivery meals.
67
The public don't ever go there.
68
But people aren't aware of that.
69
It's all kept very quiet.
70
So people don't realise the food's not actually from the restaurant?
71
Right.
72
Did you know more and more people are using all sorts of different mushrooms now to treat different health concerns?
73
Things like heart problems.
74
Hmm.
75
They might be taking a big risk there.
76
Yes, it's hard to know which varieties are safe to eat.
77
Anyway, maybe now we should...
背景与情境
在这段对话中，食物科学的学生玛丽和科林正在讨论他们的毕业项目。玛丽的项目是制造一种不含动物产品的素食鸡蛋替代品，使用了鹰嘴豆；而科林则关注于如何重新利用废弃的食物，如老面包，结合了3D打印技术制作出美味饼干。两位学生不仅探讨了各自的项目，也讨论了食品趋势和可持续性，这为我们提供了一个合适的机会来学习与食品和环境相关的英语表达。
日常交流中的五大短语
- “你在忙什么项目？” - 这是一种常见的问候语，可以用来了解他人正在进行的活动。
- “我发现……有很多好处。” - 表达观点和分享发现的好方法，非常适合在讨论中使用。

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
