Welcome back to Simple English Space.
2
Today, we have something delicious, fun, and very useful for your English learning.
3
We are going to learn English for talking about food recipes.
4
Yes, food is something that everyone loves.
5
We all need it, we all talk about it, and sometimes we even share recipes with friends or family.
6
So, learning how to describe food, how to explain a recipe, and how to talk about cooking is very helpful.
7
Exactly.
8
Imagine this.
9
You meet a friend who cooked something really nice.
10
You want to ask, how do you make this?
11
Or maybe you want to tell someone, this recipe is from my grandmother and it's easy to cook.
12
English can help you do that.
13
So today we're going to show you how to talk about ingredients,
14
cooking actions, and how to explain a recipe in simple English.
15
We'll also give you four full conversations so you can hear how real people talk about food recipes in daily life.
16
And here's a quick hook before we dive in.
17
Learning how to talk about food recipes in English will not only make you better at conversations,
18
but it can also help you connect with people from all over the world.
19
Food is universal, and language is the bridge.
20
That's a great reason to stay with us until the end.
21
So, let's get started.
22
First, let's learn some useful words for ingredients.
23
Ingredients are the things you need to cook a meal.
24
For example, salt, sugar, rice,
25
chicken, onion, garlic, oil, flour, milk, eggs.
26
Yes, these are very basic but very common.
27
You can add many more, depending on the recipe.
28
If you are talking about recipes in English, it is important to know how to name the ingredient and how much of it you need.
29
That's right.
30
In recipes, we often use measurements like one cup of rice,
31
two spoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, half a liter of milk, three pieces of chicken.
32
Good.
33
Now, let's talk about cooking actions.
34
These are verbs that describe what you do when cooking.
35
For example, cut, chop, mix,
36
boil, fry, bake, stir, add, pour, taste.
37
Very useful.
38
If you know these action words, you can explain almost any simple recipe.
39
For example, first, chop the onion, then fry it in oil.
40
Next, add the chicken and stir.
41
Very easy, but clear.
42
Exactly.
43
And don't forget connecting words.
44
When you explain a recipe, you need to show order.
45
You can say first, then, next, After that, finally.
46
Great.
47
Now, let's practice with our first full conversation.
48
Hi, Grace.
49
What are you cooking today?
50
Hi, John.
51
I'm cooking fried rice.
52
It's very simple.
53
Oh, I love fried rice.
54
How do you make it?
55
First, I cook some rice.
56
Then I chop garlic and onion.
57
Okay.
58
What do you do after that?
59
I fry the garlic and onion in a pan with oil.
60
Then I add the rice and mix it well.
61
Do you add vegetables too?
62
Yes.
63
I usually add carrots and peas.
64
Sometimes I add chicken or shrimp.
65
That sounds delicious.
66
Do you use soy sauce? Of course.
67
A little soy sauce gives great flavor.
68
Finally, I add an egg on top.
69
Wow, that sounds easy but tasty.
70
I want to try it.
71
You should.
72
Fried rice is quick and fun to cook. That was simple, right?
73
A recipe doesn't need to be complicated.
74
Even a few steps can be delicious.
75
Yes.
76
And notice how John asked questions like, how do you make it?
77
Or do you add vegetables to?
78
These are useful ways to keep the conversation going.
79
Exactly.
80
Now let's expand.
81
Recipes are not only about steps.
82
You can also talk about taste.
83
For example, it's sweet, it's salty,
84
it's spicy, it's sour, it's fresh, it's crunchy, it's soft.
85
Right.
86
If you cook something and share it with a friend, you can say, This soup is spicy, but delicious.
87
Or, this cake is soft and sweet.
88
Perfect.
89
Now let's try another conversation.
90
This one is about baking a cake.
91
Hi Anna.
92
I heard you baked a cake yesterday.
93
Yes, I baked a simple chocolate cake.
94
Wow, how did you make it?
95
First, I mixed flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs in a bowl.
96
Okay.
97
Did you add milk?
98
Yes, I added some milk and butter too.
99
Then I mixed everything until it was smooth.
100
What's the next step?
101
After that, I poured the mixture into a baking pan and put it in the oven.
102
How long did you bake it?
103
About 30 minutes.
104
Finally, I let it cool and added chocolate cream on top.
105
That sounds amazing!
106
Was it sweet?
107
Yes, but not too sweet.
108
Just perfect.
109
I want to try your recipe someday.
110
Sure!
111
I'll write it down for you.
112
Baking is so much fun and in English you can practice using verbs like mix,
113
pour, bake, and cool.
114
Yes, those verbs are very common in recipes.
115
You can also learn words like baking pan, oven, and cream.
116
These are important if you want to explain desserts.
117
Another tip, when talking about recipes, use clear steps.
118
If you just say, I cooked it, people won't understand.
119
But if you say, first I mixed, then I baked, then I added cream,
120
people can follow your explanation.
121
Exactly.
122
Now, let's move to our third conversation.
123
This time, it's about soup.
124
Hi, Grace.
125
I can smell something nice.
126
What are you cooking?
127
Hi, Tom.
128
I'm making vegetable soup.
129
Oh, that's healthy.
130
What ingredients do you use?
131
I use carrots, potatoes, onion, and a little garlic.
132
I also add chicken stock.
133
Sounds good.
134
How do you cook it?
135
First, I chop the vegetables.
136
Then I put them in a pot with water and chicken stock.
137
Do you boil it?
138
Yes, I boil it for about 20 minutes.
139
After that, I add some salt and pepper.
140
Do you add herbs?
141
Sometimes I add parsley or celery.
142
It makes the soup fresh.
143
Wow, that must be tasty on a cold day.
144
Yes, it's warm and healthy.
145
You should try it.
146
Vegetable soup is simple but very common around the world.
147
Yes, and notice how Tom asked, what ingredients do you use?
148
This is a very useful question.
149
Exactly!
150
You can also ask, what do you add?
151
Or, how long do you cook it?
152
These are common when learning recipes.
153
Now, let's try our fourth and final conversation.
154
This one is about pasta.
155
Hi, Anna!
156
I heard you cooked pasta last night.
157
Yes, I made spaghetti with tomato sauce.
158
That's my favorite.
159
How did you prepare it?
160
First, I boiled spaghetti noodles in water with a little salt.
161
Okay, and the sauce.
162
I chopped onion and garlic, then fried them in oil.
163
After that, I added tomatoes and cooked them until soft.
164
Did you add any meat?
165
Yes, I added ground beef and mixed it with the sauce.
166
That sounds delicious.
167
What's the final step?
168
Finally, I put the spaghetti on a plate and poured the sauce on top.
169
I added some cheese.
170
Wow, that's perfect!
171
I want to cook it this weekend.
172
You should.
173
It's easy and tasty.
174
Great job!
175
Now we've gone through four conversations about food recipes.
176
Fried rice, chocolate cake, vegetable soup, and spaghetti.
177
Yes, and each one shows how you can talk about ingredients, cooking actions, and steps in English.
178
Let's continue practicing.
179
If you want to get better, try to explain one of your favorite recipes in English.
180
Use the steps we practiced.
181
First, then, next, after that, finally.
182
And don't forget the cooking verbs.
183
Cut, chop, fry, boil, bake, mix, stir, pour, add.
184
These words will make your explanation clear.
185
Another idea is to write your recipe down in English.
186
That way you practice both speaking and writing.
187
Good tip!
188
Also, if you cook with a friend, try speaking English while cooking.
189
Say things like, please chop the onion or now add some salt.
190
It can be fun.
191
Yes, learning English can happen everywhere, even in the kitchen.
192
Let's also practice adjectives for food again.
193
Sweet, salty, spicy, sour, crunchy, soft, fresh, hot, cold.
194
Perfect!
195
If you want to describe food, say, The soup is hot and salty.
196
Or, The cake is soft and sweet.
197
That way your sentences sound natural.
198
Great!
199
Let's keep practicing and expanding with more examples of describing recipes.
200
And that brings us to the end of today's episode of Simple English Space.
201
We've spent our time talking about food recipes.
202
learning useful ingredients, cooking actions, and how to explain recipes step-by-step in English.
203
Yes, and we also practice four real conversations, making fried rice, baking a chocolate cake,
204
cooking vegetable soup, and preparing spaghetti with tomato sauce.
205
These examples show you how to speak naturally about food in everyday situations.
206
Remember, cooking and talking about recipes is a fun way to improve your English.
207
You can describe ingredients, give instructions, and even share tips about taste and texture.
208
Using words like sweet, salty,
209
spicy, soft, crunchy, or fresh will make your sentences more vivid and clear.
210
And don't forget to practice speaking.
211
You can talk about your favorite recipe with a friend, explain it to a family member, or even record yourself.
212
The more you practice, the easier it becomes.
213
Exactly.
214
steps every day will help you feel confident when speaking English.

练习技巧
为确保您在英语口语练习中获得最佳效果，建议您使用shadowing技巧进行跟读。模仿视频中的语调和速度，您可以更自然地掌握发音和语调。在观看时尝试暂停，与视频中的对话进行重复练习。此外，关注语调的变化和词汇的选用，让您的表达更具吸引力与生动性。使用shadowspeak的方法逐步提高，您会发现自己在日常交流中的流利度显著提升。记得多多练习使用关键词汇，像是食材和烹饪动作，以便在实践中能够自信地运用这些英语口语知识。
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。
