Activity 2If it’s a formal meal, maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas, or if you’re with your boss or someone like that, you are being careful about your table manners. So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “Oh well, it’s time for us, we should get going.” And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.
Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9 pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.
Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.

1 Mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize or structure our ideas related to a topic.
2 OK, brainstorming is one of the most important uses of mind maps.
3 By using mind maps to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a very general understanding of a topic …
4 Before an exam, after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the very general understanding about the subject
5 They give us almost a picture, a different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful for people who like to learn from a different way.
6 As you can see, we have main ideas throughout our mind map, not long texts.
7 Mind maps are illogical and by being illogical they encourage us to think creatively, you might say.
