IV . Read the following passage (1,5 pt )
Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food ? In most parts of Asia , for example , no meal is completed without rice . In England , people eat potatoes everyday . In the Middle East , bread is the main part of every meal . Eating , like so many things we do , becomes a habit which is very difficult to change . Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice or coffee . The English drink tea four or five times a day . Australians drink a large amount of beer and the French drink wine everyday . The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another . Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France . In Hong Kong some people enjoy eating snakes . New Zealanders eat sheep , but they never eat goat meat . The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell , but they enjoy raw fish . So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours , there is little common sense in what we say about it . People everywhere enjoy eating what they usually eat everyday and there is little we can do to change our eating habits
