1. Food Choices in the City

   In our daily life, we eat many different kinds of food. Some foods help us grow strong and energetic, while other foods are not good for our bodies if we eat them too often.

   Healthy Foods

   Healthy foods give us vitamins, minerals, and energy. We should choose these foods every day:

   • Fresh fruits and vegetables: Apples, oranges, carrots, and green salads.
   • Proteins: Fish, eggs, chicken, and milk.
   • Water: Drinking plenty of clean water keeps us active and refreshed.

   Unhealthy Foods

   Unhealthy foods often contain too much sugar, salt, or unhealthy fat. We should not eat them every day:

   • Chips, candy, chocolate bars, and sodas.
   • Fast food such as burgers and greasy fried potatoes.

   Useful sentences to share your thoughts:

   "I eat fresh salad every day because it is healthy."
   "We should not drink too much soda because it has a lot of sugar."

   Exploring World Cuisines

   Every country has special national dishes. People prepare these dishes with traditional ingredients and recipes.

   Popular International and National Dishes

   • Türkiye: Lentil soup, menemen, and kebab. Lentil soup is warm, nutritious, and very healthy.
   • Italy: Pasta and pizza. A vegetable pasta with fresh tomatoes and olive oil is delicious and wholesome.
   • Japan: Rice and fish dishes. Fresh fish and steamed rice give clean energy.
   • Mexico: Tacos and bean salads. Beans are rich in protein and good for our muscles.

   How to describe a dish to a friend:

   "Tacos are from Mexico. They have corn tortillas, beans, and fresh salad inside."
   "Menemen is a famous Turkish dish made with eggs, tomatoes, and peppers."

   Visiting Places and Celebrating Holidays

   During school holidays, people often travel to different cities and countries. They explore historical sites, beautiful parks, and local food markets.

   Talking About Cities and Holidays

   When you talk about a holiday or a city, you can combine three main things:

   1. The place: Which city or country did you visit?
   2. The activities: What did you see or do?
   3. The food: What delicious and healthy food did you try?

   Example descriptions:

   "Last summer, we visited Antalya. We swam in the clean sea and ate grilled fish with a big lemon salad."
   "During the holiday, my family stayed in a quiet town. We walked in the green forest and ate fresh local fruit."

   Sharing with Friends and Classmates

   Now you can put all this information together to speak with your friends. You can take short notes about a country, its food, and a holiday, and turn them into a clear spoken presentation.

   A Model Presentation

   Look at how Defne reorganised her notes into a speech:

   "Hello, friends! Today, I want to talk about Spain. Last holiday, my cousin visited Madrid. Madrid is a busy city with lovely parks and museums. People there love a dish called paella. It has rice, vegetables, and seafood. It is both traditional and healthy. I want to visit Madrid one day and try fresh paella, too!"

   Your Turn to Speak

   Follow these three steps when you talk to a partner:

   • Step 1: Choose a country or city you like.
   • Step 2: Mention one healthy or traditional dish from that place.
   • Step 3: Tell your partner why you find it interesting or delicious.
