1. – Are you hungry?

- Oh yes, I am.

And I’m awfully thirsty.

- Would you like a glass of orange juice?

- Thank you. I’d love one. I like orange juice very much.

- And I prefer apple juice to all other juices.

- All kinds of juices are good for health: tomato, apple, apricot and pine-apple juice.

2. – I’m awfully hungry. What will we have?

- The three-course meal, I suppose.

- Well, you choose.

3. – Let’s start with salad, then chicken soup, fish and chips.

- I think I’ll have some green peas and a cup of tea without sugar.

- Are you slimming?

- Yes, I am. So it’s rather a problem to please me, I’m afraid.

4. – You aren’t eating much. Are you slimming?

- Oh yes, I am.

- What does your diet allow you?

- Well, a little boiled meat or fish, a few hard-boiled eggs, some cheese or milk, a lot of vegetables: lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, very few potatoes, a lot of fruit. No ice-cream, no cakes, no chocolate and very little salt.

5. - Some peas, a lot of fruit, tomato salad, no meat or sausage, a glass of plum juice. Are you a vegetarian?

- Oh yes. And so are my children. And what about you?

- I’m afraid I’m not. And neither are my parents. None of us is a vegetarian. I find good roast beef is much tastier than watery vegetables.

6. – I must confess I like good food, and occasional beer, cheerful people, theatres and lively music.

- Is this your keep-fit programme?

- Yes, it is. My motto is “eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is”.

- You are not a fitness fanatic, are you?

7. – How many meals a day do you have?

- Usually I have four meals a day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and cold supper.

8. – You are so slim and you are always in perfectly good health. What is your keep-fit programme?

- Keep-fit programme? Oh, no programme at all. As a rule I don’t eat sweets. They are fattening.

9. – Have you ever tasted Mexican dishes?

- No, I haven’t. I’ve never been to Mexico.

- And what do you think of spicy food?

- I avoid it. I prefer everything natural.

10. – A cigarette?

- No, thanks.

- A drop of brandy?

- I’m off alcohol.

- Isn’t it boring sometimes to follow these strict rules?

- They are not strict at all. If you’re in perfectly good health you can work well and have more pleasures of life. Why not form good habits?

- I agree with you. Health is the greatest wealth.
