Woman: Rosie’s Fruit Cakes, how can I help you?
Man: Oh, good morning. I’d like to order a cake,
please. It’s for my son’s birthday.
Woman: Certainly. What kind of cake would you
like?
Man: Alex really likes chocolate cakes. They’re
his favourite.
Woman: I’m sorry, sir. We only make fruit cakes.
They’re delicious and healthier than
chocolate cakes.
Man: Hmmm. OK, well Alex loves raspberries.
Could you make a raspberry cake?
Woman: I’m afraid it isn’t the season for
raspberries at the moment. We only use
fresh fruit you see.
Man: Oh, OK.
Woman: How about a pear and orange cake? It’s
got a little bit of dark chocolate on top.
Man: It sounds good to me. A pear and orange
cake please.
Woman: Excellent! Our birthday cakes are quite
big. Big enough for 12 people. Is that OK?
Man: That’s fine. Thank you. Could you have
everything ready for next Friday? Friday
morning, because the party is in the
afternoon.
Woman: No problem. Now I just need some
details.

Welcome to my show, You are what you eat! My
advice today is on fruit and vegetables.
The first tip is about apples. A lot of people like
to cut their apple in slices. But leave it for a few
minutes on the plate, and it goes brown. That’s
because of the air. To stop this from happening,
drop a little bit of lemon juice on the apple.
Now let’s look at how you can keep your fruit
and vegetables fresh. Don’t put everything in the
fridge. There are some vegetables that need cold

temperatures like cucumbers and peppers. Others,
like tomatoes, potatoes and onions, last longer in
cool, dry places. They taste better, too.
Here’s my last piece of advice for today. Eating fruit
is important, but when? Many people think eating
fruit when they finish lunch is healthy. But it isn’t.
Have your fruit an hour before you eat your meal or
two or three hours later. The best time to eat fruit is
early in the morning on an empty stomach.

Girl: Tell me about South Africa, Sam. Did you
have a good time?
Boy: Fantastic! It’s a beautiful country. Did you see
the photos on my blog?
Girl: I did! There are so many pictures of food!
Boy: Yes.
Girl: Did you like the food there?
Boy: Yes. I really liked Bredie.
Girl: Bre… what? How do you spell it?
Boy: B-R-E-D-I-E.
Girl: Bredie. OK. So what is it?
Boy: It’s a type of soup. They make it with
vegetables or meat, or both. The one I tried
had meat, onions and green beans in it.
Delicious!
Girl: And what else did you like?
Boy: The stalls in the markets were amazing!
At a stall in Cape Town I had a really nice
sandwich with chicken, salad, cheese and
chips. Mmm …
Girl: Sounds good!
Boy: Yeah. There was one thing I didn’t like very
much though.
Girl: What?
Boy: Well, it was cereal, but they cooked it. So
it was hot and people had it with milk and
sugar. I think it’s called putupap.
Girl: Hot cereal? Weird! What did you have for
breakfast then?
Boy: We had breakfast in the hotel every morning
and they had this amazing pineapple
smoothie. I had a glass of that every day.
