ENGLISH VOCABULARY IN USE PRE INTERMEDIATE

UNIT 25 COOKING

Ways of cooking food

You boil potatoes or rice in a saucepan.

You can fry sausages in a frying
pan.

You grill toast or meat under a grill.

You roast meat [using oil] in the oven.

You also bake cakes [without oil] in the
oven.

You barbecue meat and fish on a barbecue.

Food which is not cooked is raw.

Preparing and
cooking food

Peel the potatoes
[remove the skin] and boil them.

While they’re
boiling, chop an onion. [cut it
into small pieces]

Fry the onion
before adding some chopped
tomatoes. [putting them together with the onions]

Then stir it all for a few minutes.
[move it around in a saucepan using a spoon]

What does it taste like?

Chefs [people who
cook food in a restaurant as a job] always taste the food [put a small amount in their mouth to see what
it is like] while they are cooking.

I don’t like the taste of too much garlic.

I tried the soup and it tasted a bit strange.

Michel’s food is very tasty [has a good taste].

Indian food is a bit too spicy for me [with a strong hot
flavour].

You get ice cream in different
flavours [the type of taste that
food or drink has, e.g. vanilla, coffee, strawberry, etc.].

Lena said her pasta was horrible [terrible, unpleasant],
but I thought it was delicious
[fantastic, with a wonderful taste].

Language help
We use the word sour to describe the taste of lemons (opp sweet), but usually bitter to describe coffee that is strong and has a sharp unpleasant taste (opp smooth). Strong, dark chocolate can also be described as bitter, but this is not always negative.

Are you a
good cook?

“I’m a bit nervous
when I cook, so I always follow a recipe
[the cooking instructions for a particular dish, e.g. lasagne], and make
sure I have all the right ingredients
[the different food you need to make a particular meal] before I start.
However, I am quite good at making pies,
especially apple pie. (Pie is
pronounced /paɪ/ like ‘my’.)”

Common
mistakes

A person who cooks well is a
good cook (NOT a good ~~cooker~~).
The cooker is the large piece of equipment you use for cooking. You could
also say that you are good/bad
at cooking (NOT good/bad in cooking), e.g. I’m quite good at cooking fish.

Also we ‘cook’ a type of
food, e.g. I’m cooking some beef,
but we ‘make’ a dish, e.g. I’m
making dessert. (NOT I’m ~~cooking~~ dessert.)

anyone help my friend? She’s choking.’ At another table in the restaurant Trisha Goddard, a TV chat show presenter, saw what was happening and

rushed over to try to help. She stood behind Mrs Johnson and put her arms round her waist, and then pulled hard inwards and upwards three times…

p.157 Phrasal verbs in context File 1.

doctors have warned us about the dangers and have given us advice about how to cut

stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term for example having to look after someone has a chronic illness, or stressful situations

there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, is bad for our

health and should be avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts

now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.

Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, claims that what he calls ‘good stress’ is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr Kyriazis says that ‘good stress’ can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and heart problems. He believes that ‘good stress’ can increase the production of the proteins that help to repair the body’s cells, including brain cells.

According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to a deadline are examples of ‘good stress’, that is

situations with short-term, low or moderate stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly and efficiently, and gives us a sense of achievement – we did it! However, in both these situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells’ own repair mechanism ‘switches on’ and it produces proteins which repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body’s response is greater than is needed to repair

damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.

‘As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow down,’

Dr Kyriazis. ‘The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to ‘exercise’ it, in

same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our

lives.’ Other stressful activities that Kyriazis recommends as being good stress include redecorating a room in your house over a weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, shopping for

a dinner party during your lunch break or programming your DVD player by

following the instruction manual.

So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see that report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, don’t panic; just think of it as ‘good stress’ which will

have benefits for your long-term health!

Sorry that I havent been in touch for a while but I’ve been ill. I got flu last week and I had a temprature of 39°C so I’ve been in bed since four days. I’m feeling a bit better today so I’ve been catching up on my emails. Luckly my classes at university don’t start till next week.

How are you? What have you been doing? Anything exciting. Here everyone are fine – apart from me and my flu! My brother Ian has just started his new job with a record-company – I think I told you about it when I last wrote – anyway, he’s really enjoying it. How are your family? I hope they’re well.

I have a good news – I’m going to a conference in your town in may, from 16th to 20th. Could you recomend a hotel where I could stay in the centre of town? It needs to be somewhere not too expensive because the university is paying. I’ll have a free half-day for siteseeing. Do you think you’ll can show me around? That would be great.

Well, that’s all for now. Please give my regards to your family.

Passwords reveal your personality

THE WORD OR PHRASE that you use to open your email account may provide a key to your personality as well as to your correspondence ,

according to a British psychologist. Helen Petrie, professor of human / computer interaction at City University in London, analysed the responses of 1,200 Britons who participated in a survey funded by CentralNic,

an Internet domain-name company. The results were recently published on CentralNic’s website.

Petrie identifies three main password ‘ genres ’. ‘Family oriented’ respondents numbered nearly half of those surveyed. These people use their own name or nickname, the name of a child, partner, or pet, or a birth date as their password. They tend to be occasional computer users

and have strong family ties . ‘They choose passwords that symbolize people or events with emotional value,’ says Petrie. One third of respondents were ‘fans’, using the names of athletes, singers, movie stars, fictional characters, or sports teams. Petrie says fans are young and want to ally themselves with the lifestyle represented by a celebrity. Two of the most popular names were Madonna and Homer Simpson. The third main group of participants are ‘cryptics’ because they pick unintelligible passwords or a random string of letters, numerals, and symbols such as ‘Jxa+157’. Petrie says cryptics are the most security-conscious group. They tend to make the safest but least interesting choices.

Passwords are revealing for two reasons. First, because they are invented on the spot . ‘Since you are focused on getting into a system, for example your email account, you’re likely to write down something that comes quickly to mind,’ says Petrie. ‘In this sense passwords tap into things that are just below the surface of consciousness. Also, to remember your password, you pick something that will stick in your mind. You may unconsciously choose something of particular emotional significance.’

b 1.24 You will hear two women who visited a psychic talking about their experiences to a man from the Psychic Association. Answer the questions.

1 Why did Lorenna go to a psychic?

2 What did the psychic tell her?

3 Was it good advice?

Albert Einstein – A Great Scientist from the Past
by Kerry Margo
The person I admire the most is Albert Einstein. He was born on 14th March, 1879 in the German town of Ulm in Wurttemberg. Einstein was the greatest scientist of all time. One of his most famous discoveries is the mathematical equation about the nature of energy: E=mc2.
Einstein loved physics and learning. He never stopped exploring the world of science and he wrote many books and articles explaining his theories. Some of them are at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton.
People in universities all over the world respected Einstein. He was awarded with honorary degrees in science, medicine and philosophy. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Despite his intelligence, Einstein is also famous for being a very funny man!
I admire Albert Einstein for his love of learning and the fact that he discovered new things. He always kept his mind active.

Я восхищаюсь Альбертом Эйнштейном за его любовь к обучению и тот факт, что он открыл для себя новое. Он всегда оставался активным.

e.g. Einstein was born in eighteen seventy−nine. T
например, Эйнштейн родился в восемнадцатом семидесяти девятом году. Т

FRIENDSHIP

In this overstressed, hyperlinked age, some people seem wired to
everything but each other. The struggle to balance career and family has had an unintended
casualty: friends. Sociologists say that the time of life when people have the most
friends is young adulthood and old age; the time of life when people have the least
friends is middle age. But I can’t say that my parents’ ability to maintain friendship
ebbs and flows.
Despite the shortcomings of e-mails as a means of personal connection, it may help keep
some relationships afloat, at least for the short term. My parents use e-mail to stay in
better touch with a circle of high-school friends by sending along anecdotes,
congratulations and digital photos of our family.
Maintaining those connections has bolstered them during tough times, particularly when my
father was out of job and when my grandfather (my mum’s father) died of cancer a few
months ago. They knew my grandfather and understood how close my mum was to him. She says,
“When I need to have an ‘I’m loosing my mind’ talk, I go back to these friends”.

For my parents, the key is realising that maintaining friendships takes extra effort, just
the way balancing work and family does. Yet every year my mum manages to arrange a long
weekend for our family and a dozen of friends. She plans the weekend with workplace
efficiency, sending out invitation letters and fax-reply forms, reserving lodging space
for the group and booking advance guided tours. “I’ve handled complex litigation,”
she says. “Organising a weekend isn’t that hard”.
While some folks treat their lives as a house of cards that could topple if they add just
one more obligation, my parents think of friendship as an integral component of their
life. “You can’t wait to live your life”, they say. “If you like being around
friends and want to continue to have a relationship, you can’t put them off”.

Sample.
Some people say that they don’t need friends, but I think they are insincere. As a rule
people need friends and expect help and comfort from each other.
Some people say that they don’t have time for friends right now and move friendship down
on their priority list, but psychologists say that people with good friends usually have
less stress and maybe even longer lives. Having contact with a larger number of friends
gives you a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
If you are feeling depressed one strategy is to share your problems with your friends. And
your friends support and encourage you during tough times. Friends and friendships
brighten our lives. When people are well-liked by their friends it builds their
self-esteem, their self-respect and this helps them make the most of their abilities.
