Sessions on food safety
TUTOR:
Thanks for coming along Nadia and Fergus.
TUTOR:
So this is a chance for you to give us some feedback
TUTOR:
about different aspects of your course.
TUTOR:
What would you like to begin with?
NADIA:
I've enjoyed the sessions on food safety.
NADIA:
There was some information there that I found really surprising, although some
NADIA:
were stuff I knew already, like the rise in rates of obesity.
FERGUS:
Yeah, that's been in the news a lot.
FERGUS:
But I hadn't realised that unsafe food causes more than 200 different diseases.
NADIA:
No, I'd no idea it was that many.
NADIA:
And speaking of diseases, I knew resistance to antibiotics is on the
NADIA:
increase, but I didn't know why.
FERGUS:
That it's partly because when animals are treated with antibiotics then
FERGUS:
consumed by humans, the antibiotics get into the food chain.
FERGUS:
I had no idea about that either.
NADIA:
Then the sessions provided a lot of information about plastic pollution from
NADIA:
food packaging in the ocean,
NADIA:
but I think that most of us were already aware of that.
FERGUS:
Yeah, but I thought we could have done more on how much
FERGUS:
food is thrown away unnecessarily through fear of it being out of date,
FERGUS:
that was only mentioned in passing.
TUTOR:
OK, I'll bear that in mind.
TUTOR:
What did you think about the sessions from visiting lecturers, Fergus?
FERGUS:
For me, the most interesting one was about that project to prevent
FERGUS:
companies giving incorrect information to consumers about food.
TUTOR:
Ah, food fraud, yes.
FERGUS:
I thought it was really good to address a problem that's faced
FERGUS:
by so many different groups.
FERGUS:
People with special religious rules, as well as vegetarians and vegans.
NADIA:
And those with allergies.
FERGUS:
Yeah.
FERGUS:
And another thing, we've had effective ways of analysing DNA for some
FERGUS:
time now, and these can easily be applied to analysing food.
FERGUS:
But what the researchers succeeded in doing was to ensure that these
FERGUS:
tests were carried out at different stages in the food's journey, from
FERGUS:
the producer to the consumer.
NADIA:
So they knew that the food actually came from the place it
NADIA:
was supposed to, and had the ingredients it was meant to.
FERGUS:
Exactly.
FERGUS:
So customers can be confident about what they buy.
NADIA:
And the researchers had a good system for publicising their findings too.
FERGUS:
Well, I thought there were some problems with that actually.
TUTOR:
Okay.
TUTOR:
And do you have any recommendations for new topics that we could
TUTOR:
include in the course?
NADIA:
Well, I'm interested in how crop yields can be increased without damaging
NADIA:
the environment.
FERGUS:
But we've already done quite a bit on that.
FERGUS:
But not so much on the seafood industry, where stocks are in
FERGUS:
danger of being overexploited as a food source, unless we can find
FERGUS:
ways of keeping stocks up.
NADIA:
Yes, that'd be a good topic.
NADIA:
And I'm interested in the idea of a personalised approach to diet,
NADIA:
now we have the technology to analyse exactly what individuals need.
FERGUS:
That sounds more like a medical topic than food science.
NADIA:
Okay.
NADIA:
What about sessions on the variety of food and eating habits around
NADIA:
the world?
NADIA:
That's very relevant nowadays.
FERGUS:
Yes.
FERGUS:
I think the whole class would be interested in that.
NADIA:
Then there's technological stuff, things like 3D printing of food and smart packaging.
FERGUS:
Maybe too specialist.
TUTOR:
Now, I'm particularly interested in your project, the one where you developed
TUTOR:
a new food product.
TUTOR:
So talk me through the stages.
TUTOR:
First, you had to decide on your initial aim.
FERGUS:
We decided we wanted to create something people could eat on the
FERGUS:
go rather than in a restaurant.
NADIA:
Yeah.
NADIA:
So we chose falafel, which was originally a Middle Eastern snack.
FERGUS:
We made up our minds about that pretty quickly.
FERGUS:
I know some students found this a lot harder to choose and
FERGUS:
wasted a lot of time.
NADIA:
Then we had to do the literature review.
NADIA:
We hadn't done one of these before, so the handout with advice
NADIA:
for the project was very useful here.
FERGUS:
Yes, especially the advice on how to present the information.
FERGUS:
Then product development, actually deciding what we'd use to make the falafel,
FERGUS:
and for me, the interesting thing about that was that we wanted
FERGUS:
it to be something a bit different from an ordinary falafel.
NADIA:
We really made the right choice when we finally decided to use
NADIA:
jackfruit, even though it wasn't something that either of us had ever
NADIA:
tasted before.
FERGUS:
Yeah, like the name tells you, it's a fruit, but actually it's
FERGUS:
really good in savoury dishes.
FERGUS:
The product production, working out how to make the falafel, was harder
FERGUS:
than I expected because I'd never made them before.
NADIA:
It was mostly trial and error.
NADIA:
We started off with the basic recipe, and then experimented, and when
NADIA:
it went wrong…
FERGUS:
… which it did a lot of the time …
NADIA:
We just moved on and kept adapting it.
NADIA:
And in the end, it turned out fine and we had a lot of fun.
FERGUS:
We did.
TUTOR:
Thank you.
TUTOR:
Well, your project was a very good…

Giải thích chi tiết

Câu hỏi: Which TWO facts in the sessions on food safety were new information for Nadia and Fergus?

Đáp án đúng: B. the number of diseases caused by contaminated food E. the result of treating animals with antibiotics

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: Đoạn Nadia và Fergus bắt đầu nói về những thông tin họ thấy bất ngờ / chưa biết trước đó trong phần học về food safety, thường có tín hiệu như “I found really surprising…”, “I hadn’t realised…” hoặc “I had no idea…”.

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

  • Trước khi nghe, cần gạch chân từ khóa new information, Nadia and Fergus, và food safety sessions.

  • Vì câu hỏi hỏi về facts ... were new information, ta cần nghe những cách diễn đạt như I hadn’t realised, I had no idea, I didn’t know.

  • Fergus nói: “I hadn't realised that unsafe food causes more than 200 different diseases.”

  • Câu này cho thấy thông tin mới với Fergus là số lượng bệnh do thực phẩm không an toàn gây ra.

  • Nadia đáp lại: “I'd no idea it was that many.” → Nadia cũng không biết con số đó trước đó.

  • Vì vậy, B. the number of diseases caused by contaminated food là đáp án đúng.

  • Sau đó Nadia nói: “I knew resistance to antibiotics is on the increase, but I didn't know why.”

  • Nghĩa là Nadia đã biết hiện tượng kháng kháng sinh tăng lên, nhưng không biết nguyên nhân.

  • Fergus giải thích rằng khi animals are treated with antibiotics rồi bị con người ăn, the antibiotics get into the food chain.

  • Fergus tiếp tục nói: “I had no idea about that either.”

  • Điều này xác nhận cả hai đều thấy mới ở thông tin về kết quả của việc điều trị kháng sinh cho động vật.

  • Vì vậy, E. the result of treating animals with antibiotics là đáp án đúng.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ A. the amount of plastic in the ocean => Nadia nói rằng phần về plastic pollution from food packaging in the ocean thì most of us were already aware of that, nên đây không phải thông tin mới. ❌ C. the amount of food that is wasted => Fergus chỉ nói họ nên học nhiều hơn về vấn đề này, không nói đây là điều mới với cả hai. ❌ D. the number of people who are obese => Nadia nói rõ đây là điều cô ấy knew already, nên không thể chọn.
