Sample Answers

Snacks

1/ What snacks do you like to eat?

I don’t usually like crisps or anything like that. I usually eat things like biscuits. I try not to eat too many. And at the moment I am eating sultanas, which I absolutely love, to be quite honest with you.

2/ Did you often eat snacks when you were young?

No, I didn’t really. We had our meals at meal times and that was it, basically. Unless there was a piece of fruit sometime in the evening. Although my brother and I hardly ate it at all.

3/ When do you usually eat snacks now?

These days, if I eat snacks at all, I’ll be watching TV, which is more or less every night. And I just need something maybe around 09:00, 09:30. I need just something to something to do with my mouth rather than, it’s not a matter of hunger, really.

4/ Do you think it is healthy for you to eat snacks?

I don’t really, I think it’s better to eat something rather than go to bed hungry, to be quite honest with you, because if I go to bed hungry, then I don’t sleep very well. But I think it’s better for the food to be digested before you go to sleep.
