Hello, friends.
Thank you for coming to see us here in the LTE TV studio.
You are watching Let's Talk in English.
Let's have some fun together today.
My name is Nathan.
I am one of your English teachers here on the show.
Today we have a new topic for you.
HEALTH.
And the title of our lesson is What Can I Eat?
What Can I Eat?
So, Katie, what do you like to eat?
Ooh, Nathan, that is a hard question to answer.
I really like to eat, so I like many different kinds of food.
And I'm sure that we are going to learn a lot about kinds of food today.
Hi, everyone, my name is Katie.
And I am your other teacher here at Let's Talk in English.
I hope that you're ready for today's lesson.
But before we can get started, you need to read our Let's Begin!
So take out your magazine and turn to the right page.
Nathan will read with you right now.
Let's begin!
What kind of snacks do you eat?
Megan eats fruit.
It's a healthy snack.
Healthy food is important for a good daily diet.
Vegetables are healthy snacks, too.
You can eat carrots.
Mark doesn't like the taste of carrots.
He likes sweet food.
Ken does, too.
He likes cookies and candy.
Well, let's go to Conversation A and see what happens.
(Music).
Hi, Megan.
Hi, Mark. Hi, Ken.
Is that your lunch?
No. It's just a snack.
That's a very healthy snack.
It is! Fruit is good for you.
It's an important part of our daily diet.
How much fruit do you eat?
A lot.
I eat fruit several times a day.
Megan is eating a snack.
A snack is just a little bit of food that you eat when you're hungry.
It's not a meal like breakfast, lunch or dinner.
That's right. And Megan is eating a healthy snack.
She's eating fruit.
And fruit is very good for you.
We find out in Conversation A that fruit is an important part of our daily diet.
That's today's first key word.
diet.
diet.
Your diet is the food that you eat every day.
We should try to have a good diet and eat well.
You can have a good diet by eating good food like fruits and vegetables.
Those foods will help you have a good diet.
And it's important to eat well so that you have a good diet.
Meat, breads, fruits and vegetables are all important parts of our diets.
But foods with a lot of sugar are not good.
Those will be bad for your diet.
You have to be careful with what you eat.
That is right.
Just like Megan, try to eat healthy snacks.
Those are very important.
They are important.
And, friends, learning is also important.
So let's keep learning together and go to Conversation B.
(Music).
You must like fruit.
I do!
Do you eat other healthy snacks?
Of course. I eat vegetables.
You eat vegetables as a snack?
Sure! I like carrots.
I eat carrots.
But I don't eat them as a snack.
I don't. I don't like the taste of carrots.
Megan likes fruit and she likes to eat it as a snack.
But she eats other healthy snacks, too.
Nathan, what does she eat?
She eats vegetables.
Do you like to eat vegetables for a snack, Katie?
Sometimes I do.
But I like to eat fruit more.
But Megan likes carrots.
And that is a key word.
carrot.
carrot.
A carrot is a kind of vegetable.
It's orange and it has a point at the end.
You can eat carrots a lot of different ways.
Most people put carrots on their salad.
But you can also eat them by themselves.
Carrots are a very healthy vegetable to eat.
I sometimes eat them, but they're not my favorite vegetable to eat.
Just like Mark says, I don't like the taste of carrots.
Well, Katie, you just used our next key word.
I think we should probably tell our friends about it.
Thank you, Nathan.
Friends, let's learn about this word.
taste.
taste.
We use this word taste when we talk about food.
The taste of a food is its flavor.
Mmhm. If you like the taste of a food, you usually like to eat the food.
If you don't like the taste of a food, you usually don't like to eat that food.
A lot of people may think that stinky tofu has a weird taste and that's why they
don't like to eat it.
They don't like the flavor.
Or a lot of people may think the taste of cookies or cake is great, so they like
to eat cookies.
Nathan, which food do you think has the best taste?
That's a really hard question.
There are salty foods and sweet foods and spicy foods.
I don't like salty things that much.
And spicy foods are good sometimes.
But I do like the flavor of some sweet things and of some things like meat.
Or some kinds of vegetables have a special taste that I really like.
Now we've been using this key word as a noun: taste.
But the word taste can also be a verb.
You can say the food tastes bad.
The word taste is a verb in that sentence.
Or like we have talked about today, you can say that the food has a bad taste.
In that sentence, the word taste is a noun.
OK, friends, we are out of time for this conversation.
But now we can see what happens next in Conversation C.
(Music).
What kinds of snacks do you eat?
Well, I like chocolate.
I like sweet food.
Me, too.
I like cookies and candy.
Chocolate and cookies taste good.
But don't eat them too often!
You're right.
Too many cookies can be bad for you.
I know that, too.
Ken, do you want another cookie?
No, thank you!
Mark likes to eat snacks, but he doesn't eat vegetables.
He likes chocolate and sweet food.
And Ken likes cookies and candy.
Friends, those are our next key words for today.
Thanks, Katie.
So let's look at the first one.
cookie.
cookie.
A cookie is a sweet food kind of like cake.
They're usually small and you might eat a few of them at one time.
Now I love cookies.
This is a cookie.
You can make different kinds of cookies.
You can make chocolate cookies, cookies with nuts in them, cookies with icing on
top, cookies with...
Oh, Nathan, let's go get some cookies.
I need a snack now.
Well, uh, maybe after we are finished teaching, Katie.
It's easy to make cookies at home, but not in the studio.
Uh, but, friends, you can also buy cookies at the store.
And we need to talk about the other key word now, too.
candy.
candy.
Candy is another sweet snack.
Candy is really any kind of food that has a lot of sugar in it.
That's right.
Chocolate bars are a kind of candy.
Gummy snacks are candy, too.
Nathan, can you think of any other kind of candy?
Well, there is one very unique and special kind of candy called cotton candy.
(Chinese).
I think that you will know that one, friends.
But like Megan says, "Too many cookies can be bad for you." That's our "Use It!"
sentence today.
Too many or too much of something can be bad for you.
So, friends, let's try to use this sentence.
Too many cokes can be bad for you.
Too much time on the Internet can be bad for you.
Hmm. Katie, do you know why cookies and candy can be bad for you?
Well, they both have a lot of sugar in them.
Friends, earlier today we talked about our diets.
You should think about how much sugar you eat when you think about your diet.
Nathan, do you eat a lot of candy?
No. Actually, I don't eat much candy, but I do often buy drinks. Yeah.
Too much sugar is also bad for your diet, so remember that, friends.
Instead of eating cookies or candy, you should eat some fruit or vegetables
instead.
That is something great to remember.
I usually do eat a lot of candy.
So I am trying to eat more fruits and vegetables.
That is a good idea.
Now, friends, we're out of time.
But we do have something good for you to do now.
It's time to review our key words.
Say them with us.
The first one is:
diet.
diet.
He has a healthy diet.
carrot.
carrot.
Carrots are Tim's favorite vegetable.
taste.
taste.
I like the taste of pineapple.
cookie.
cookie.
These cookies have chocolate in them.
candy.
candy.
Too much candy can hurt your teeth.
All right, we have some more food words today that we learned.
But there are some other important key words, too.
Try to use them so that you can practice more.
But right now let's take a short break.
We'll see you again very soon.
