Unit 1 When I was a kid I ate whatever food there was In this unit you can learn how to

• talk about yourself and other people

• talk to people when you have a meal together

• talk about eating habits

When I was a kid I ate whatever food there was Sandra visits her old father once every week. He is 82 years old now but still looks after himself and lives alone in the house he bought 40 years ago. ‘‘I don’t want to move to an old people’s home. I can look after myself,” he says.

Sandra Hello, Dad. How are you today?

Dad Who is it? Oh, it’s you, Sandra. My eyes are worse nowadays,

and I can’t find my glasses. Anyway, it’s nice to see you.

Sandra Can’t you find your glasses? They are on the table beside

your armchair. You always keep them there.

Dad Oh, thank you. Now I can watch television again. But I don’t

really miss it as most of the programmes are awful. They were much better before, I think. Don’t you think so, too?

Sandra I don’t know, really. I don’t have much time to watch TV.

Dad, why don’t you move to an old people’s home? They have a nice home near here where you can be much more comfortable.

Dad Don’t take that up again! You know I don’t want to leave

this house after 40 years. I’m much better off here and I can still look after myself.

Sandra You’re such a stubborn old man!

Dad Enough of that.

Sandra Dad, I have some ham for your supper tonight.

Dad That’s kind of you. You know I like ham, it’s much better

than all that fast food people have these days like hamburgers, Chinese nosh and so on.

Sandra But you must try different food, that’s what makes life more

interesting.

Dad Well, I don’t know. When I was a kid I ate whatever food

there was, and I never complained.

Sandra Please don’t start that again, Dad!

8

Unit 1 Dad I can remember how hungry I was as a kid after the First

World War. And life wasn’t easier during the Second World War either when I had a family to feed. We grew all our vegetables and fruit in the garden. Do you remember?

Sandra Oh, yes! I can remember we had stewed rhubarb and custard

for dessert every day for three months just because there was rhubarb in the garden! The food we had was so boring.

Give me Chinese food or hamburgers any day! But I can understand now why people had their ‘‘meat and two veg” followed by the same old ‘‘pudding” every Sunday.

Dad Yes, life was quite tough after two world wars. I think it was

harder for me to bring up a family than it is today. Nowadays you can just go out and buy anything you want. Don’t forget to bring some chicken with you when you come next week!

Sandra Dad, you’re only interested in the food I bring you. ‘‘The

best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!”

Dad But it’s nice when you come and visit me anyway.
