新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第一冊 Unit 5 Let’s Talk

Jane: I’m from the Students Union. We’re doing a survey of students’ eating habits. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?

Jim: Will it take long?

Jane: No, not really. Fie minutes maybe? There aren’t all that many questions.

Jim: And what’s it for exactly?

Jane: Well, we want to get an idea of the sort of things students eat on a regular basis, and to find out how aware people are about diet and nutrition and those matters. Theintention is to produce an information leaflet about healthy eating.

Jim: Yeah, I suppose something like that would be quite useful. Anyway, what do you want to know, exactly?

Jane: OK, first question. What would you say your favorite food is?

Jim: That’s easy. Hamburgers and fries. Lots of fries1 I must say I like a nice Chinese meal as well.

Jane: Mmm. You’re getting into some bad habits there. How many meals do you have a day? I mean sit-down meals, not snacks.

Jim: Well, I nearly always oversleep. I usually skip breakfast altogether. And I’d probably just have a chocolate bar for lunch. So I don’t sit down to a meal till evening.

Jane: OK. Typical student, I suppose. And how about fresh fruit? Is it important in your diet?

Jim: Nah, not really. I know it’s bad, but…I’m just not in the habit really. I suppose I might eat an apple once in a while.
