MEET the
SMITHS (an average
British family)
5
There are 62 million people in the UK, and there are 17 million
families. Let’s meet an average UK family, David and Susan
Smith, and their two children, Jack and Emily. They eat the
most common food in the UK, they get up at the most common
time, and they even have the most common names. But there’s
one unusual thing about them – they don’t exist!

The family wakes up at Dr Who, a popular time-

6.57am. Both David and
Susan work, and they go
to work by car. Susan usually
leaves work first. They have
dinner at 5.54pm. They are
all very busy, so they only
eat together three evenings
a week. What’s for dinner?
Well, they eat spaghetti
bolognaise on Monday,
chicken pie on Wednesday
and often have take-away
fish and chips on Friday.
They spend £88 a week in
the supermarket, but they
throw away 15% of their
food. In the evening, each
person watches TV for over
two hours. The family’s
favourite programme is
6
travelling Science Fiction
character. The whole family
goes to bed at 10.39pm.
Jack and Emily go online for
1.5 hours a day and spend £12
on their mobile phones each
month. They enjoy sport – Jack
plays football, and Emily’s
favourite sport is netball. The
Smiths occasionally go out as 7
a family (once a month), and
they spend £15 a week on
computer games, DVDs and
the cinema. They have two
holidays each year, usually
in the UK. The Smiths say
that they’re happy, but they
sometimes have arguments
(about twice a week)!

TA
Sepak takraw is a fast, exciting
sport. It’s a combination of
f.
volleyball, football and gymnastics. It’s popular in
Southeast Asia, and it’s Malaysia’s national sport.
The name comes from two languages. Sepak means
‘kick’ in Malay and takraw means ‘ball’ in Thai.
People in Europe, Canada and the USA are starting
to play it too.
The rules of sepak takraw are simple. Each team has
three people on the court. They can use any part of
their body, except their hands, to hit the ball over the
net. They win a point if the other team can’t hit it
back to them. The sport’s most famous competition is
the King’s Cup World Championship. It’s on every year
in Thailand, in August or September.
Sepak takraw is amazing to watch. In this photo, the
player is flying through the air. He is trying to kick
the ball over the net. There’s more information and
videos about it online.

are true or false.

2 Sepak takraw is never played in Europe.

5 Players can use their heads to hit the ball over the net.

1 Dinner in the dark 3 Sky high

People usually go to sleep when it’s dark. But in this
restaurant, you eat in the dark! There isn’t any light at all. The
waiters wear special goggles to see in the dark, and they
serve you a five-course dinner. It’s difficult to guess what
you are eating, but it’s fun!
2 There’s an insect in my soup!
Are there any burgers? Is there any cheese? Don’t ask! Because
in this restaurant, insects are on the menu. You can try some
crickets on toast and locust soup or salad. You can also have
some fried scorpions. Remember, in a lot of countries, people
eat insects because they’re nutritious ... and delicious!
There are no walls and there isn’t a floor. So where’s this
restaurant? It’s 50 metres above the ground, and you have to
wear a seat belt! It’s very expensive, too – about £10,000 for
a meal for 20 people. If you need to go to the bathroom, the
table goes down to the ground again.
4 A knight to remember
There’s some bread and some meat on a wooden plate.
There are musicians and jugglers to entertain you. And that’s
a knight in armour next to the kitchen! This isn’t a normal
twenty-first century restaurant, it’s a medieval one. So
remember – there are knives, but there aren’t any forks!

THE WAY WE EAT by Matteo Russo, Italy

5

Hi! We often think our way of doing things is the only way. But people do things differently all over the world.
Eating together is important in every culture, but what we eat and what we do at mealtimes depend on
tradition. For example, in Italy we say ‘Buon Appetito’ before we eat, but my friends in the UK don’t usually
say anything! It’s really strange for me.
PR
What people eat 7
People eat a wide variety of food and some of it can seem strange to us. Japanese people eat a lot of raw
fish and seaweed. Millions of people around the world eat insects and grubs – they are a source of protein.
And in Mexico, they eat them as snacks. In some countries, certain food isn’t allowed. For example, people
don’t eat pork in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, and millions of Indians don’t eat meat at all.
8
How people eat
In the Middle East and India, many people eat with their hands, but it’s very rude to use your left hand.
In China and Japan, people eat with a pair of chopsticks – it’s rude (and difficult!) to just use one. Usually,
people don’t make much noise when they eat. But you can ‘slurp’ when you eat noodles in Japan. It means
you like them! In Germany, break up your potatoes with your fork, don’t cut them. This shows that they’re
tender. 9
How people serve food
In Thailand and China, don’t put too much on your plate because it looks greedy to take a lot. And at the end
of your meal, leave a bit of food on your plate. This shows that you aren’t hungry any more. But in France
and Denmark, it isn’t polite to leave food at the end of the meal because it looks like you didn’t enjoy it.

W h a t I e
er, aged 13
by Josh Harp
I’m not very hungry in the
morning, so breakfast isn’t
my favourite meal. Before
school, I have a small bowl of
cereal or a piece of toast and
a glass of orange juice. At the
weekend, my mum cooks bacon and eggs.
The school canteen is good. At lunchtime, they
sell hot meals, sandwiches, salads and desserts,
like apple pie or ice cream. The best thing is the
pasta bar. Every week, they have a different
sauce. This week it’s chilli. After lunch, I have a
cake or some fruit for dessert.
After school, I’m always really hungry. So before I
do my homework, I have a cup of tea and some
biscuits. We have dinner at seven in the evening.
My favourite foods are roast chicken, curry and
pizza. On Friday, we always have fish. I don’t really
like vegetables but I eat a lot of fruit.
2 Read the article quickly and complete the categories
with food that Josh eats.

1 Look at the photo. Who is this man? Why is he
famous? What do you know about him?
B LT FROM THE BLUE
B orn on 21st August, 1986, in a small town in
Jamaica, Usain Bolt is a very famous and
successful athlete. His sport is sprinting and
he’s the first person ever to win gold medals in
the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the same
Olympic games. He has several nicknames,
including Lightning Bolt and Bolt from the blue.
At 1.95 metres, Usain Bolt is very tall for a
sprinter. He’s also quite heavy, weighing about 94
kilos. Perhaps because of this, he doesn’t usually
start races fast, but with his very long legs, he
can soon catch up with the other sprinters and
then speed past them.
Usain usually trains 8 times a week – 5 times
on the track and 3 times in the gym. He spends
about 2½ hours on each training session.
He needs to eat a lot of food and usually has
six meals a day. For breakfast he often has
dumplings made of flour, butter and milk, yams
and cooked green bananas. For lunch he has
fish with brown bread, and for dinner brown rice
2 Read the article and decide if the sentences are true,
false or not mentioned.
1 Usain Bolt has got gold medals in three different
sprinting events.
2 Usain likes his nicknames very much.
3 Usain is the same size as most sprinters.
4 Usain trains in the gym every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.
5 Usain often eats junk food.
6 Usain enjoys playing team sports with his friends.
7 Usain always relaxes before a race by listening to his
favourite songs.

with chicken, pork or beef. Occasionally he has 5
junk food as a treat – his favourite is chicken
nuggets.
Usain Bolt is well known for his cool, relaxed
personality. He loves making jokes and having fun.
In his free time he plays basketball or football with
his friends, and he’s a big fan of Manchester United
football club. To relax he plays on his PlayStation
or watches TV. He loves music too, but he never
listens to it just before a race, as his coach doesn’t
think it’s a good idea.
3 Write questions with the prompts below. Then in
pairs, role play an interview with Usain Bolt.
1 Where / come from? Where do you come from?
2 What / your nicknames?
3 How tall / you?
4 How much / you weigh?
5 What / need to improve?

6 How often / train?
