Ex12.

Mrs. Snell

I’ve got a new neighbour. He moved in a few weeks ago. He’s got a job, because I see him leaving the house every morning and then coming home in the evening. He’s a builder, I think. He wears jeans and a T-shirt, so it can’t be a very good job. Sometimes he comes home late.

I’ve never spoken to him. When he sees me, he says hello, but I don’t answer back because nobody has introduced us. How can I speak to him?

His girlfriend is living with him. I know it’s not unusual these days, but I still don’t like it, boys and girls living together and not married. It’s such a small flat. I don’t how two people can live there.

He had a party last week. Forty people! The noise! It went on until two in the morning/ he said sorry the next day, but it was a bit late by then. I didn’t sleep all night.

Oh, there’s the door. I can see him now. He’s going out with his girlfriend. I wonder what they’re doing tonight. Having a good time. Going to the pub, probably.

Steve

I moved into this flat a few weeks ago, and I’m really enjoying living here. There’s only one bedroom, and at the moment my sister is staying with me because she’s looking for a job.

I work in advertising. It’s hard work, and the hours are really long, but I like it. And it’s well paid. The office is really relaxed. No one wears a suit or a tie.

The only thing I don’t like about this flat is one of the neighbours, Mrs. Snell, I think her name is. She’s really strange. She never speaks to anyone. I always say hello to her, and ‘are you all right?’ and ‘What a lovely day today!’, but she never says a word. Maybe she doesn’t like young people.

I had a party a few days ago. It really wasn’t very noisy. About ten of us were here until 11.00 and then we went out to a club. When I saw Mrs. Snell the next day, I said I hoped there wasn’t too much noise, but as usual she didn’t say anything. Funny lady.

This evening my sister and I are going to visit a friend of ours who’s in hospital, and then we’re going out for a Chinese meal.

PART 2.

Text 1. “Sweeteners”

Sweeteners are used in foods for several reasons, besides adding sweetness. Sugar is used as a preservative in jams and jellies; it provides body and texture in ice cream and baked goods; it aids in fermentation in breads and pickles.

Sweeteners that supply energy (calories) are referred to as nutritive sweeteners. Nutritive sweeteners provide 4 calories per gram. For most sugars this is about 17 calories per teaspoon. Sweeteners that do not supply calories are referred to as non-nutritive sweeteners. Saccharin and acesulfame K are non-nutritive sweeteners

All natural sugars are composed of simple carbohydrates..

The simple carbohydrates follow.

Fructose is the sweetest tasting of all the natural sugars. It is found in fruits and honey. Fructose is known as the fruit sugar.

Glucose is in nearly all plant foods. Glucose is known as the “ blood sugar” because it is the main sugar circulating in blood.

Sucrose is the most abundant sugar in plants. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of two simple sugars. It is produced by concentrating the sugar from sugarcane or sugar beet juice.

Lactose is the sugar found in milk. Lactose is primarily used in products to provide bulk. It is seldom used as a sweetener because it is the least sweet of the sugars.

Maltose is produced during bread making and beer brewing. When you eat or drink a food source of maltose, the maltose is split into 2 glucose units so they can be absorbed.

Honey is a natural syrup made from plants by honeybees. Honey is more concentrated than crystalline table sugar, so it contains more calories.

Maple sugar is produced by boiling off the liquid from the syrup derived from the spring flow of the sap of mature sugar maples.

In human nutrition the primary role of carbohydrates is to supply energy. The body prefers this source of energy over all other available sources of energy nutrients
