♦ A USEFUL DIET
I said to myself, «It’s enough!» I have to stock up on1 fruit and vegetables and forget about junk food. I am not going to be on a diet, but I have to avoid rich and fatty products. I won’t skimp on2 healthy foods. I know I splashed out3 on some new clothes for my children last month and ran up a huge bill. They were selling them off4 at half price and I couldn’t help buying. I snapped up a bargain. I know the next day all the clothes were sold out! So I think a lack of money is now a good chance for me to think how to stay in shape and keep fit. I do want to be slim and slender.

3. IDIOM
Julie’s birthday was coming and Bill offered to throw a party at a small hotel. He knew what to do, as he’d organized one the year before.
«Ladies and Gentlemen – instead of buying unwanted gifts, would you mind chipping in? We won’t trouble your parents,» he asked. Julie liked the idea, but she was worried about the money.
«Are you sure they will all club together? Renting a hotel hall is not cheap. How much was it for your birthday last year?» she asked. Bill had barely answered when the door opened and little Reece turned up. There was silence in the room.
«Don’t be a chicken! I won’t give you away to our parents. But I want a piece of the action, as mother says’, demanded Reece and held out his piggybank.
«Oh, it’s very you, Reece’, sighed Julie, but Bill was more optimistic:
«Well done, boy! You are in!» he said and patted the little one’s head.
· A PIECE OF THE ACTION / быть в доле, поучаствовать в деле

3. IDIOM
My granny used to tell me she had to go to the market every day to buy fresh meat and vegetables for dinner. It was before the refrigerator was invented. Traditionally, eating was something that all family members did together because there was no chance to grab a bite or have a snack on the go like nowadays. In the past, most parents insisted that the whole family sat around the dining table at a certain time. They prayed and tried to act politely while eating. Even my mother used to tell me, «When my lunch is at its peak, I’m deaf and mute, so please don’t speak.» I can’t hear it today among my friends, and it is most unlikely that I will say it to my kids.
Technical inventions have dramatically changed our habits and behaviour. Usually we watch TV, smartphones or tablet PCs while we eat; we don’t share breakfast and lunch with our family and eat at different times. Microwaves have changed the way we cook and today it’s easy to do it in seconds without having to wait until your parents come back home from work. I know that it’s very rare for a lot of my friends’ families to sit at the table together and share their news over a good meal. Moreover, the thought of cooking for someone at home makes them nervous and anxious, for guests in particular. If it happens, the day turns into a nightmare and the hosts don’t feel happy at all. So, most prefer having snacks and lunch outside and ordering pizza or other convenience food has become quite natural. That’s why, times change, but not necessarily for the better.
· TIMES CHANGE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE BETTER / времена меняются, но необязательно к лучшему
4. TEXTS
♦ I LIKE TO COOK
I like throwing a dinner party for my friends. Yesterday I prepared a chicken casserole and put it in the freezer to make sure it did not go off1. I took it out of the freezer in the morning and defrosted it2. Then I put the chicken on3 and made a salad of lettuce, cheese, pickled carrot and ham. I heated up4 the casserole, making sure that it did not boil over5 and asked my boyfriend to pop out6 for some drinks.

♦ THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
The birthday was great, my mother helped me set the table and handed round1 plates with snacks and salad. My brother poured out2 drinks. As anyone needed a refill, he immediately came up and topped up3 their glasses. I served the main dish and all my friends dug in to4 pork and mashed potatoes. It was Daisy who didn’t touch her food.
«Why are you picking at5 the salad?» my brother asked her.
«Now she’s gonna say she pigged out6 on pizza this morning’, her boyfriend said gleefully and winked at him. «She thinks she needs to lose weight. So she has to cut down on7 fatty food’.
Soon he polished off8 both plates and happily smiled. He said it went well with8 the salad, and everyone agreed. I started passing biscuits and gateau round10 while everyone else went outside to chat and let their dinner digest.

♦ NOTHING TO EAT
As we had nothing to eat the next day, I decided to get a takeaway1. I ordered a sea-food pizza, my favourite. My brother says that I live on2 pizza because I adore it and eat it so often. I don’t argue because we have no leftovers3. He will have to put up with my choice. I can’t be bothered cutting up4 onion, taking off5 tomato skins, chopping, boiling and frying all that in the morning. No way! I’m not cut out for it!

5. I don’t take the skins off tomatoes with a knife, I just pour boiling water over them and the skins peel off at once.
♦ ENJOY YOUR FOOD
When you’re in a hurry, you don’t chew, and instead you gobble your food down1. If you want to enjoy it, you have to take time. I don’t remember the taste of what we were eating while serving in the Navy, we just wolfed it down2 and that’s it. Now I can afford to eat out3 every day, but my wife likes to eat in4 and I have to admit she has a knack for5 cooking! On Saturday mornings, we usually send out for6 fish sandwiches and a nice tiramisu cake. Sometimes our friends call us, and we have them round7 and serve up8 something special. While I’m barbecuing, my wife slices pizza up9 and lets everyone help themselves to10 what they want.
I know that Mike and Jenny, our neighbours, cut meat out11 entirely from their diet. They both have gastric ulcers and meat causes stabbing pains in their stomachs. It does not agree with12 them, so my wife usually cooks steamed vegetables and chicken for them. That goes well with olives and lettuce. I think we have to follow them if we want to feel healthier. They say a lot of raw vegetables can fill me up13 even though I suspect it’s not true, but my wife thinks vegetables can help her stay slim and she won’t put on14 weight. She says I can put away15 three steaks, a pizza and some beer in one meal, and it’s unhealthy. Of course, it’s much better be off picking at a salad for half an hour pretending it’s so delicious. Oh, those women!
