Sure! Here’s the text with the English grammar corrected and the Simplified Chinese changed to Traditional Chinese:
Hello everyone,
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English. My name is Garrett.
And my name is Esther. Today we have our tips lesson.
What kind of tips do we have for you? They’re about reducing food waste.
Let’s talk about what those words mean. If you reduce something, it means you make it a lot less. So, if you want to reduce food waste, you need to know what food waste is.
Of course, food waste is food that is wasted or food that you could have used, but it went bad and then you threw it away. So, this happens to everyone. You might buy too much food, and some of it goes bad, so you can’t eat it anymore, and you throw it away. That’s food waste. But there are ways to fix this problem. We will talk about them today.
First, let’s start with today’s reading:
For many people in the world, wasting food is a bad habit. They buy more than they need at the market, then they let fruits and vegetables spoil at home.
How can you reduce food waste?
First, don’t buy too much. You may not be able to eat it all before it spoils. Be careful when you store food. Put older things in the front of your cupboards or refrigerator, then use those things first.
If you cook a meal and don’t finish it, freeze it for later. Don’t throw it away.
Thanks, Esther! Those were some good tips, and we’ll talk about them as we go through today’s conversation. We’ll also be on the lookout for the answer to today’s "Find It" question.
Here is that question: Where does Sam put older food?
Think about this question as we continue our lesson. Now, let’s go to Sonya, who will teach us our keywords.
Keywords Explanation:
Sarah 發現 Sam 的餐點沒吃完。
You didn’t finish your food.
Sam 的動詞 "finish" 就是吃完或用完。
Sam 說沒吃完的東西他會打包帶回家稍後再吃，他不想浪費掉。
I don’t want to waste it. 動詞 "waste" 就是浪費。
關於儲存食物，Sam 也很留意，他會把放得比較久的食物放在櫥櫃或冰箱裡比較靠近前面的位置，提醒自己要先吃。
I put older food in the front of my cupboards or refrigerator.
名詞 "front" 就是前排，前面。
Sarah 則說當她煮的量比較多時，會把一部分冷凍起來。
When I cook a big meal, I freeze some for later. 動詞 "freeze" 就是冷凍保存。
她不會把食物丟掉。
I don’t throw it away. 片語動詞 "throw away" 就是丟棄。
Continue the Lesson:
Sam: "You didn’t finish our food, Sam. It was too much. I’ll take it home for later. I don’t want to waste it."
Good for you! People waste too much food. We should reduce food waste to help the environment.
I know, so I don’t buy too much at the store. Same here. If I do, it may spoil before I can eat it all.
I’m careful when I store food too.
What do you do?
I put older food in the front of my cupboards or refrigerator. That way, I eat those things first.
That’s smart. When I cook a big meal, I freeze some for later. I don’t throw it away.
That’s a good plan. That reduces food waste and saves money too.
Sam gives us another tip about what he does to reduce food waste.
He says, “I’m careful when I store food too.”
Here, "store food" means how he keeps the food in his fridge or at home, not the store where you go to buy things. "To store" something is to put it away for safe keeping.
Find It Question Answer:
Sarah wants to know what Sam does. Well, that leads us to the answer to today’s "Find It" question.
Our question is: Where does Sam put older food?
The answer: He puts it in the front of his cupboards or refrigerator—in the front where you can see it easily because you want to use older food first.
If you buy something like flour or sugar, you might forget that you have it and put it in the back of your cupboard. But if you put it in the front, then you’ll remember to use it first before you buy something new.
Sure, a cupboard is where you store food that doesn’t need to go in the refrigerator or the freezer, but you can keep it in these cupboards in your house.
Sam’s Smart Idea:
Sam tells us more. He says, “That way, I eat those things first.”
"That way" means "because of that" or "for that reason." So, he eats the older foods first, because he puts them in the front.
Sonya’s Explanation:
Sonya:
Sam 說我會把放得比較久的食物移到餐櫃或冰箱的前面，這樣我會先吃那些東西。
"That way I eat those things first." 句首的 "that way" 表示「那樣的話」，用來承接說明前句。
Review the Key Words:
Waste – Don’t waste the water.
Front – Stand in the front of the room.
Finish – Let me finish my pancakes.
Freeze – Let’s freeze this fruit.
Throw away – You can throw away these old things.
Practice Sentences:
Now, it’s your turn to use them in a sentence:
Are you able to finish your food?
Get to work and stop wasting time.
The water will freeze outside.
Is she at the front of the line?
Don’t throw away that book.
Conclusion:
That’s all for today! I’ll see you tomorrow for your turn.
You didn’t finish your food, Sam. It was too much.
I’ll take it home for later. I don’t want to waste it.
Good for you! People waste too much food. We should reduce food waste to help the environment.
I know, so I don’t buy too much at the store. Same here. If I do, it may spoil before I can eat it all.
I’m careful when I store food too. What do you do?
I put older food in the front of my cupboards or refrigerator. That way, I eat those things first.
That’s smart. When I cook a big meal, I freeze some for later. I don’t throw it away.
That’s a good plan. That reduces food waste and saves money too.
Jack’s File:
Hi everyone! Welcome to Jack’s File. I’m Jack.
I’m getting ready to go out and buy food. My wife made a list for me. We’re trying to reduce food waste, so we planned our meals first. Now we can just shop for the things we need.
In many places in the world, people waste a lot of food. They buy more food than they need at the market, then they let fruits and vegetables spoil at home. Or they cook too much food at home and can’t eat it all. Then it spoils, and they throw it away.
Why is reducing food waste important? Because it saves water and energy. How can you reduce food waste?
First, don’t buy too much. You may not be able to eat it all before it spoils. Plan your meals and make a shopping list before going out to buy food. This helps you buy only what you need.
Next, be careful when you store food. Put older things in the front of your cupboards or refrigerator. Use those things first.
If you cook a meal and don’t eat it all, freeze it for later. Try to use up leftover food instead of throwing it away. For example, leftover vegetables can be added to soups or stir-fries.
You can help the planet by reducing food waste. Most people don’t think about wasting food, but it is a real problem. If we all try not to waste food, it helps the Earth.
Okay, I’m going shopping now. I’ll see you next time on Jack’s File. Goodbye, everyone!
Friends, today we’ve been talking about food waste, and Sam and Sarah have both given us some tips on how we can reduce food waste.
Garrett, what do you do to reduce food waste?
Well, I’m still trying to get better at this, but one thing I do is if I’ve cooked too much of an ingredient and I’ve kept it in the fridge overnight, when I’m cooking the next day, I’ll try and think of a new way to use that same ingredient so I can keep using it up.
That’s a good idea. Then you won’t need to throw that ingredient away.
I like to do what Sarah does: When I cook a big meal, I take some of it and put it in the freezer. It saves time and money.
Well, these were some great tips so we can all help the environment and our wallets!
Right, friends? Come back tomorrow, and we’ll continue this lesson about food waste. But we need to say goodbye, so we hope to see you again tomorrow right here on Let’s Talk in English. Goodbye!
Reducing Food Waste 減少食物浪費小撇步(下) 大家說英語 20241120
修正英文文法，保留中文部分，同時將簡體中文修改為繁體中文
Here is the revised version with proper grammar and converted Simplified Chinese into Traditional Chinese:
Hello friends,
Welcome to "Let’s Talk in English."
My name is Esther,
And my name is Garrett. We’re back to continue our tips lesson,
And the name of our lesson is "Reducing Food Waste."
Reducing the amount of food
We need to throw away and not use by eating it right,
Because when you waste something, it
Means you throw away or use too much or too little of something
That you don’t need to use, right?
So we had some great tips yesterday.
One of them was to put your older things
In the front of your refrigerator
Or your cupboard,
That way you will use them first,
Because you will see those foods and those items first.
And if you can’t finish your food,
You can take it home if you are eating out, or if you’re at home,
You can put it in your freezer to freeze. Then
You can eat it later.
Either way, try to think of ways to use things up
That can’t sit around much longer. Try
Not to just throw them away,
But I would say if something really seems like
It’s gone bad or spoiled,
Don’t eat it just
Because you want to reduce food waste. Your body is important,
And you might get sick, right?
And that will cost you a lot of time and money to get well. Well,
Let’s go to our fun it question.
Our question is: What doesn’t James do?
What doesn’t James do?
Friends, the answer will be in today’s conversation. Now,
Let’s go to Sonya,
Who will teach us today’s keywords. Susie.
對於吃食都是有計劃的
他做一道菜
沒吃完的不會丟掉
至少可以再吃一餐
I cook one thing
And then use it for at least one more meal.
慣用語 "at least" 就是至少。
James不清楚它的意思，請它舉個例子。
Give me an example. 名詞 "example" 就是範例。
比如說今晚沒吃完的雞肉
明天可以用來煮湯或是搭配沙拉。
I can use leftover chicken in soup or salad tomorrow.
形容詞 "leftover" 就是剩下的。
講到為飲食做計劃，
Susie問James，
買菜的時候有沒有先列清單？
Do you make a shopping list?
名詞 "list" 就是清單。
不列清單的話通常會買太多，
造成浪費。
所以Susie建議他要開始事先做計劃。
Start planning ahead 副詞 "ahead" 就是事前。
What are you doing?
Susie: I’m planning meals for the rest of the week.
Why?
Because it saves time and I don’t waste food.
I cook one thing
And then use it for at least one more meal.
Give me an example.
Well,
I can cook a chicken tonight
And eat some for dinner
Then I can use leftover chicken in soup or salad tomorrow
Or make a chicken sandwich.
Exactly! Meal planning makes life easier.
We start with James,
Looking at Susie,
And she is doing something, and he doesn’t know what it is.
He wants to find out what she is doing.
What is Susie doing?
She is planning meals for the rest of the week, so
She won’t just think about what
She’s going to eat on the day of.
She’s going to plan out a whole week of meals,
Right? We heard the phrase rest of the week, so if it’s Monday,
The rest of the week will be from Tuesday to Sunday or Saturday.
But you can also say rest of the month,
Rest of the year, and there’s many ways
We can use this rest of something. Sonia,
Can you help us?
Suzi說:
我在為這周剩下的日子計劃餐食
I’m planning meals for the rest of the week. 一般
rest 常作動詞
是休息的意思，
但本句中它是名詞，
指的是剩餘的部分或其餘的意思，
而片語 the rest of something 指剩下的什麼
或是其他的什麼。
來看例句：
She’ll stay home for the rest of the afternoon.
下午剩下的時間
他會待在家裡。
或是 I’ll put the rest of the box on the shelf.
我會把其餘的書放在書架上。
再一句：
He shared his notes with the rest of the class.
他把他的筆記
分享給班上的其他同學。
Thank you, Sonia. Now,
James wants to know why
Susie is planning meals for the rest of the week.
Yeah, it’s time-consuming. It takes time. Why would she do that?
Well, actually,
Susie says it saves time. If it saves time,
It means that you will have more time later
Because you’re doing something right now.
Because it saves time, that’s also today’s calendar phrase:
Because it saves time.
Because it saves time.
因為這樣節省時間
Why do you make a shopping list?
Because it saves time.
Why do you plan meals?
Because it saves time.
Why do you eat leftovers?
Because it saves time and it saves money.
That’s another reason, it’s a good reason.
Because it saves time,
因為這樣節省時間
Suzy not only plans her meals,
She says that she doesn’t waste food. Yeah,
So she might cook more than one thing,
But when she does cook one thing and then doesn’t use all of it,
She’ll use it for at least one more meal.
Right? We heard the phrase at least.
So it means one meal or more, one meal
Is the smallest number of meals
She’ll use it for,
But she might use it for more meals, maybe three or four meals.
If you said at least four, then the smallest number would be four.
Four or more.
Right, or more
Is a good way to think of that phrase at least. Now,
James wants to know more. He says, Give me an example.
If you hear an example,
You hear what you can do,
Then you get an idea of what you can do, right?
At the end of our show, we always go through our key words,
Then we give you some
Sentences that use those words. We can call them example
Sentences.
They’re an example of how you can use that word in a sentence.
Right?
Susie gives James an example.
She says, I can cook a chicken tonight and eat some for dinner.
So that’s one meal.
Then,
She says, I can use leftover chicken in soup or salad tomorrow.
That would be another meal—two meals, right?
It’s leftover chicken because it’s leftover from the day before.
James says she could also make a chicken sandwich, right?
Then that would be the third meal. So what
James did was he used a word or to build off or add to what
Susie was saying. Exactly.
So this is a great tip from Susie.
So we can keep using the things
We’ve already cooked and reduce food waste. Oh friends,
It’s time now for us to go to a quick break. We’ll be right back
Just after this.
Hello friends,
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English!
My name is Esther.
And my name is Garrett. We're back to continue our tips lesson.
The name of our lesson is Reducing Food Waste — reducing the amount of food we need to throw away and not use by eating it right.
Because when you waste something, it means you throw it away or use too much or too little of something that you don’t need to use, right?
So, we had some great tips yesterday. One of them was to put your older items in the front of your refrigerator or your cupboard.
That way, you will use them first because you will see those foods and items first.
And if you can’t finish your food, you can take it home if you are eating out, or if you’re at home, you can put it in your freezer to freeze, and then you can eat it later.
Either way, try to think of ways to use things up that can’t sit around much longer. Try not to just throw them away.
But I would say if something really seems like it’s gone bad or spoiled, don’t eat it just because you want to reduce food waste. Your body is important, and you might get sick, right?
And that will cost you a lot of time and money to get well.
Well, let’s go to our "Find It" question.
Our question is: What doesn’t James do?
Friends, the answer will be in today’s conversation. Now let’s go to Sonya, who will teach us today’s keywords.
Susie:
對於吃食都是有計劃的
他做一道菜，沒吃完的不會丟掉，至少可以再吃一餐。
I cook one thing and then use it for at least one more meal.
James:
惯用语 "at least" 就是 "至少"
James 不清楚它的意思，請她舉個例子。
Give me an example.
名詞 "example" 就是 "範例"
比如說今晚沒吃完的雞肉，明天可以用來煮湯或是搭配沙拉。
I can use leftover chicken in soup or salad tomorrow.
形容詞 "leftover" 就是 "剩下的"
講到為飲食做計劃，Susie 問 James：
Do you make a shopping list?
名詞 "list" 就是 "清單"
不列清單的話，通常會買太多，造成浪費。
所以 Susie 建議他要開始事先做計劃：
Start planning ahead. 副詞 "ahead" 就是 "事前"。
James:
What are you doing, Susie?
I’m planning meals for the rest of the week.
Why?
Because it saves time and I don’t waste food.
I cook one thing and then use it for at least one more meal. Give me an example.
Well, I can cook a chicken tonight and eat some for dinner. Then I can use leftover chicken in soup or salad tomorrow, or make a chicken sandwich.
Exactly. Meal planning makes life easier.
James:
Maybe I should try that. I usually just go to the store and look for something easy to cook.
Do you make a shopping list?
No, I just buy things.
So, you probably buy more than you need?
I do.
And sometimes I waste food because it spoils before I can eat it.
Start planning ahead; that will help.
But doesn’t that take a lot of time?
Not really, and I don’t waste food.
James:
James is not like Susie. He does not plan his meals; he just goes to the store and looks for something to buy and cook. But he thinks that maybe he should try what Susie is suggesting. It might be a good idea, right?
And that leads us to the answer to today’s question:
What doesn’t James do?
He doesn’t make a shopping list.
A shopping list is a list of things you are planning to buy when you go shopping. You write it before you go, right? Or you might have it on your phone, then when you go to the store, you’ll buy the things on that list and try not to buy too many other things.
James doesn’t write one. He just buys things. If you say "just do something," it means you think of something and then do it right away. You don’t spend too much time thinking and planning it.
Susie:
Can you help us with this word just?
*Susie asked James: "你會列購物清單嗎?"
James said, "不會，我就只是買東西。"
I just buy things.
副詞 just 在這裡表示 "只是" 的意思。
Susie
還有一個意思，"just" 也可以表示 "正好" 或 "剛剛"。
來看例句：
They waited just a few minutes for her.
他們只等了幾分鐘。
"Just" 還有另一個意思，是 "正好" 的意思，來看例句：
This gift is just what I need.
這個禮物正好是我需要的。
還有另外一個意思是 "剛剛"。來看例句：
She just arrived in the city.
她剛剛抵達這個城市。
James:
So James does not have a shopping list, and Susie says that he probably buys more than he needs.
Exactly! If you don’t have a plan before you go, you might just buy things that look good when you see them. And then a lot of things might look good, right? Like all those nice cookies and desserts, and maybe some drinks that you don’t need and weren’t planning to buy.
Then you might buy too much, and you’ll waste food because it spoils before you can eat it, right?
James says that he does not have a shopping list, and he doesn’t think about what he buys. Sometimes the food will spoil because it’s not eaten before it goes bad.
Let’s think of a sentence similar to the one we heard from James:
I’m upset because my roommate finished the snacks before I could eat any.
Susie tells James what he should do:
She says, "Start planning ahead, that will help."
If you do something ahead, that means before you actually do it. So, start planning before you’re actually going to do the thing. Plan your meals before you eat them.
But James has a question about planning ahead. He asks, But doesn’t that take a lot of time?
He’s afraid he will use too much time planning.
And I think it could. Susie says, Not really.
But I think sometimes, you could think too much about meal planning and it would take too long. So, try and make it simple. Just start by planning out a couple of days, and don’t make it too complicated.
For some people, you can start by writing a shopping list. If you have a shopping list, think about what you can buy and cook, and don’t buy too much food you won’t need.
Yeah, just buy the things that are important. Don’t waste food, and try not to buy too much junk food.
Susie:
That's right. Friends, we hope you’ve learned some more tips about meal planning and planning ahead.
Now, it’s time for us to go and review our keywords.
Here’s your first keyword for today: At least
At least
Talk to at least one person.
Example:
Give me an example of a good speech.
Next keyword:
Leftover
I ate leftover pizza for breakfast.
Next keyword:
List
They made a list of people to invite.
Next keyword:
Ahead
We need to think ahead, friends.
Those are today’s keywords. Keep on practicing them!
And now it’s your turn!
The keywords for today are at least, leftover, list, and ahead. Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence. First:
Is there any fish?
That’s right, is there any leftover fish?
Next:
He’s looking to next week.
You got it, he’s looking ahead to next week.
Next:
Show me an example of your work.
Correct, show me an example of your work.
Last one:
He walked two miles.
Good answer, he walked at least two miles.
Friends, did you guess all the words correctly? Great! I hope you’ll join me here again for your turn.
Susie
What are you doing, Susie?
I’m planning meals for the rest of the week.
Why?
Because it saves time and I don’t waste food.
I cook one thing and then use it for at least one more meal. Give me an example.
Well, I can cook a chicken tonight and eat some for dinner. Then I can use leftover chicken in soup or salad tomorrow, or make a chicken sandwich.
Exactly. Meal planning makes life easier.
James:
Maybe I should try that. I usually just go to the store and look for something easy to cook.
Do you make a shopping list?
No, I just buy things.
So, you probably buy more than you need?
I do.
And sometimes I waste food because it spoils before I can eat it.
Start planning ahead; that will help.
But doesn’t that take a lot of time?
Not really, and I don’t waste food.
James:
What are you doing?
I’m planning meals for the rest of the week.
Why?
Because it saves time, and we won’t waste as much food.
Well, that’s a good idea. For example, I can cook something one day and plan to eat the leftovers the next day.
Yeah, be sure to put the leftovers in the refrigerator.
Don’t worry, I will. Planning meals will make life easier.
Right, and look, I’ve made a shopping list.
What for?
So I won’t buy more than I need, because sometimes it spoils.
That’s right, it’s good to plan ahead.
James:
Hey, I’m gonna make a shopping list too—bananas and bananas.
How do you spell bananas?
Grandpa:
Hey Maria, what are you doing today?
I’m looking at today’s questions.
Great! What’s the first question?
What is Susie doing?
Susie is planning ahead.
Yes, she is. So, what is she planning? A vacation?
No, guess again.
A party?
No, guess again.
Oh, I know! She’s planning meals for the rest of the week.
Yes, that’s correct! Here’s another question.
I’m ready!
Do you like to plan ahead?
No, not really.
Why not?
Because if things change, then my plans change. Then I have to plan things again.
So you don’t like to plan ahead? Interesting.
But sometimes it’s important to plan, so sometimes I do plan ahead.
So you don’t like to plan ahead, but sometimes you do. Grandpa, your answer is confusing!
Oh, that’s because I didn’t plan ahead for your answer!
Yeah, sure! I thought about it more.
Friends,
We hope that you also learned some tips on how to reduce food waste. Now, you know, in our magazines, we often have activities, and today we have a fun "true or false" one. So we’re going to go over a few and see if you remember what we learned. Sounds fun?
What’s the first one?
The first one is this:
You should buy more than you need because it will help reduce food waste.
Ah, I know that one. It’s false. You shouldn’t do that. Okay, good job!
See if you know the next one:
The next one is: Freezing and eating leftover food can help reduce food waste.
Ah, that is true! That’s a great idea!
Good job, Garrett! Friends, are you getting these right as well? Here’s the last one we’re going to go over with you. Listen carefully:
Put older things in the front of your cupboards or refrigerator. Then you can eat them first.
And that is true!
And it’s true that we will see you tomorrow.
That’s right! Here on Let’s Talk in English! Goodbye!
