The unhealthy American diet The US has a problem with obesity, and the government says we need to have healthier diets. However. American shoppers are continuing to fill their supermarket baskets with unhealthy lood. A survey showed that more than 30 pereent of ealories Amerieans eat comes from junk food-food high in salt, sugar, and fato And nearly 15 pereent of Amerieans eat a fast-food meal every day (e.g., a hamburger, Freneh fries, and a soda). Chlldren have a problem, too. 5eientists say that ehildren born today can die before their parents beca use of obesity and unhealthy food ehoiees by their families. Why do Amerieans have unhealthy diets? There are many reasons, but money is the main one. Americans think that healthy foods are more expensive than packaged foods. They also think it takes a long time to eook a healthy meal. So, how can Americans make their diets better? They can stop eating fast food and eook more often at home. They can bring healthy lunehes to work or sehool, and they can have fruit for snaeks during the day. ...VIDEO CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE? 5 24»)) On the street Watch or listen to five people and answer rhe quesrions.

They don't drive fast, but people are always on the phone in the car, which you don't see much in my country nowadays. The food The food can be delicious, but I think people eat very unhealthily. In restaurants, they often add salt to their food. And they drink a lot of soda! The headquarters of the Coca-Cola company is based here, and they even have a Coca-Cola museum. Once I went to a coffee shop and asked for a double espresso, no milk and no sugar. I had to repeat my order three times because the waitress couldn't understand me. She said people here only ask for lattes and cappuccinos with a lot of sugar! The people In general, people are very friendly. The people I'm staying with, who live just outside the city, know all their neighbors really well. They often don't lock their doors, which surprised me because people say it's a dangerous city. They speak incredibly slowly, with a strong accent and sometimes I have a problem understanding them. Mark in The weather It's December and it gets dark at about 3 p.m., which is depressing! There's a lot of snow right now, but all the buses and trains are running perfectly, not like in my country where everything stops when it snows! The houses AII the houses are painted in pretty colors, like red, green, and blue. And many houses have a yellow and blue flag. Inside, the houses are decorated beautifully with a lot of flowers and modern wooden furniture. The people People are friendly and polite, but formal. They dress fashionably but casually, and of course, you see a lot of very blond women here. You also see a lot of men who are takíng care of very young babies. Everybody speaks English really well, maybe because a lot of the TV is in English with subtittes.

Amy Johnson 15 an Engllsh woman who lives and works in the USo We asked her to tell us about her first impressions of the USo O ne of my fírst impressions was that the US is cheaper than the UK. I [ive in Ohio and the (ost of living (rent, bilis foad, etc.) is lower than in Oxford, where 1'm from in the UK. The only thing that's more expensive here is healthcare. You need to have health insurance, which can be very expensive. Of (ourse in the UK, i1's free to go to the doctor's or to the hospital. Eating out is less expensive in the US as well and the service is better, but you can eat very well in England. There's a wide variety of food from all around the world (Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Turkish, etc). And generally, I'd say British food is healthier than American food, and the portions are a lot smaller, too. As for the people, I find Americans very positive and optimistic about the future compared to British people, who can be pessimistic Also, when I'm in Ohio, I talk to everybody: salespeople, the person behind me in the supermarket line, the person sitting next to me in the restaurant. I can't do that in the UK - people are much more reserved. But, on the other hand, I think i1's easier to make real friend s in the UK than in the USo I also think British people are not very good at telling you what they really think or (i n a work situation) saving something negative about you. Americans just say things as they arel '. ... CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE? VIDEO Arja 5 57))) 00 the street Warch or lisren ro five people and answer rhe quesrions.

Secondly, people work hard in the fields and exercise a lot. Thirdly, their diet is very healthy. They eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, and they hardly ever eat meat or fish.

Conan Doyle based Holmes's personality on one of his university professors. HoLmes, who Uves at 221 b Baker Street in London, is famous for solving difficult crimes and mysteries using his great inteLligence. The Sherlock Holmes stories soon became very popular, but in 1893, Conan Doyle beca me tired of his detective, and decided to " kill~ him.ln The Finat Probtem, Sherlock Holmes and his enemy, Professor Moriarty, die when they faLL off the Reichenbach FaLLs in SwitzerLand. But people were very unhappy to lose SherLock Holmes, and there were Letters in many newspapers asking for him to come back. F¡nally, ¡n 1901, Conan DoyLe brought him back in a new story, The Hound of the BaskerviUes. He expLained that HoLmes did not die in the Reichenbach FaLls, but miracuLousLy survived. Conan DayLe died on JuLy 7, 1930, but SherLock HoLmes continues to Uve both in t he stories and in many movie versions. Recently, he was the inspiratíon for the character Dr. Gregory House in the TV series House. ...VIDEO CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE? 4)28 ») On the street Watch or listen to five people and answer the questions.

Once it was because I forgot to change the time on my watch. Another time I got lost. Then one time I didn't have a cell phone, so I couldn't cal! my host and my host couldn't call me! Whenever that happened, I tried to stay calm. CouchSurfers and hosts are usually friendly and very understanding. The best thing about CouchSurfing is seeing the world and meeting new people at the same time. I love that when I travel somewhere, I have "friends" to stay with. I'm always excited befare meeting a host. And the worst thing about CouchSurfing? Sometimes the couch you sleep on can be very surprising. That's the real adventure! ..~________________________________________~T 5 VOCABULARV & SPEAKING vacations a Complere rhe vacarion phrases using a verb from rhe lisr. go have see stay show 1 __ in a horel l wirh a friend Ifor a week 2 __ somebody around your [Qwo Iciry 3 __ rhe sights 4 __ by rrain (bus, plane) Iback horne 5 __ agood rime l nicemeals b [o pairs, plan a vacation.

The unhealthy American diet The US has a problem with obesity, and the government says we need to have healthier diets. However. American shoppers are continuing to fill their supermarket baskets with unhealthy lood. A survey showed that more than 30 pereent of ealories Amerieans eat comes from junk food-food high in salt, sugar, and fato And nearly 15 pereent of Amerieans eat a fast-food meal every day (e.g., a hamburger, Freneh fries, and a soda). Chlldren have a problem, too. 5eientists say that ehildren born today can die before their parents beca use of obesity and unhealthy food ehoiees by their families. Why do Amerieans have unhealthy diets? There are many reasons, but money is the main one. Americans think that healthy foods are more expensive than packaged foods. They also think it takes a long time to eook a healthy meal. So, how can Americans make their diets better? They can stop eating fast food and eook more often at home. They can bring healthy lunehes to work or sehool, and they can have fruit for snaeks during the day. ...VIDEO CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE? 5 24»)) On the street Watch or listen to five people and answer rhe quesrions.

They don't drive fast, but people are always on the phone in the car, which you don't see much in my country nowadays. The food The food can be delicious, but I think people eat very unhealthily. In restaurants, they often add salt to their food. And they drink a lot of soda! The headquarters of the Coca-Cola company is based here, and they even have a Coca-Cola museum. Once I went to a coffee shop and asked for a double espresso, no milk and no sugar. I had to repeat my order three times because the waitress couldn't understand me. She said people here only ask for lattes and cappuccinos with a lot of sugar! The people In general, people are very friendly. The people I'm staying with, who live just outside the city, know all their neighbors really well. They often don't lock their doors, which surprised me because people say it's a dangerous city. They speak incredibly slowly, with a strong accent and sometimes I have a problem understanding them. Mark in The weather It's December and it gets dark at about 3 p.m., which is depressing! There's a lot of snow right now, but all the buses and trains are running perfectly, not like in my country where everything stops when it snows! The houses AII the houses are painted in pretty colors, like red, green, and blue. And many houses have a yellow and blue flag. Inside, the houses are decorated beautifully with a lot of flowers and modern wooden furniture. The people People are friendly and polite, but formal. They dress fashionably but casually, and of course, you see a lot of very blond women here. You also see a lot of men who are takíng care of very young babies. Everybody speaks English really well, maybe because a lot of the TV is in English with subtittes.

Amy Johnson 15 an Engllsh woman who lives and works in the USo We asked her to tell us about her first impressions of the USo O ne of my fírst impressions was that the US is cheaper than the UK. I [ive in Ohio and the (ost of living (rent, bilis foad, etc.) is lower than in Oxford, where 1'm from in the UK. The only thing that's more expensive here is healthcare. You need to have health insurance, which can be very expensive. Of (ourse in the UK, i1's free to go to the doctor's or to the hospital. Eating out is less expensive in the US as well and the service is better, but you can eat very well in England. There's a wide variety of food from all around the world (Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Turkish, etc). And generally, I'd say British food is healthier than American food, and the portions are a lot smaller, too. As for the people, I find Americans very positive and optimistic about the future compared to British people, who can be pessimistic Also, when I'm in Ohio, I talk to everybody: salespeople, the person behind me in the supermarket line, the person sitting next to me in the restaurant. I can't do that in the UK - people are much more reserved. But, on the other hand, I think i1's easier to make real friend s in the UK than in the USo I also think British people are not very good at telling you what they really think or (i n a work situation) saving something negative about you.
