IELTS Listening Part 3.2 (CAMBRIDGE 19 - Test 1) #luyennghetienganh #ieltslistening #summiteducation #summitehub COLIN: I was reading an article about food trends predicting how eating habits might change in the next few years. MARIE: Oh – things like more focus on local products? That seems so obvious, but the shops are still full of imported foods. Q25 COLIN: Yes, they need to be more proactive to address that. MARIE: And somehow motivate consumers to change, yes. COLIN: One thing everyone’s aware of is the need for a reduction in unnecessary packaging – but just about everything you buy in supermarkets is still covered in plastic. The government needs to do something about it. Q26 MARIE: Absolutely. It’s got to change. COLIN: Do you think there’ll be more interest in gluten – and lactose-free food? MARIE: For people with allergies or food intolerances? I don’t know. Lots of people I know have been buying that type of food for years now. Q27 COLIN: Yes, even if they haven’t been diagnosed with an allergy. MARIE: That’s right. One thing I ’ve noticed is the number of branded products related to celebrity chefs – people watch them cooking on TV and then buy things like spice mixes or frozen foods with the chef’s name on . . . I bought something like that once, but I won’t again. Q28 COLIN: Yeah – I bought a ready-made spice mix for chicken which was supposed to be used by a chef I’d seen on television, and it didn’t actually taste of anything. MARIE: Mm. Did the article mention ‘ghost kitchens’ used to produce takeaway food? COLIN: No. What are they? MARIE: Well, they might have the name of a restaurant, but actually they’re a cooking facility just for delivery meals – the public don’t ever go there. But people aren’t aware of that – it’s all kept very quiet. Q29 COLIN: So people don’t realise the food’s not actually from the restaurant? MARIE: Right. COLIN: Did you know more and more people are using all sorts of different mushrooms now, to treat different health concerns? Things like heart problems? MARIE: Hmm. They might be taking a big risk there. Q30 COLIN: Yes, it’s hard to know which varieties are safe to eat. Anyway maybe now… - @summit.ehub
