Explain orally to your little sister, aged 14, how to make herself a simple meal while you are away
(fried eggs, pasta, rice, steak, etc.)
Your explanations must be as precise and clear as possible.
Think about what you are going to tell her.
Here are the explanations of two recipes:
I’ll tell you how to make spaghetti with tomato sauce.
Fill a large saucepan with water, up to about ¾ full. Add some salt (about half a teaspoonful).
Put the pan on full heat and cover it with a lid. The water has to be boiling hard. While you are
waiting, take the spaghetti and put half the packet onto a plate. If you like, you can break it in
two so that it fits better in the saucepan, but you don’t have to. Then take a tin of tomato sauce.
Open it and pour it into a small pan. The water should be boiling by now. When you see large
bubbles, take the lid off completely and put the spaghetti into the water, taking care not to burn
yourself. If you like, you can push it down into the pan with a fork. Stir it with a long wooden
spoon so that it does not stick together. Turn the heat down so that it simmers without really
boiling. Look on the packet to see how long the spaghetti has to cook. Say about 10 minutes. You
should stay in the kitchen to stir it from time to time, say every 3 minutes, especially at the
beginning so that it does not stick. Meanwhile, put the small saucepan with the tomato sauce on
a very gentle heat, with a lid (otherwise the tomato sauce will spit and the whole kitchen will be
covered in it!). Take a large colander and put it in the sink. When the pasta is cooked, turn the
heat off. Do the same for the tomato sauce. Pour the spaghetti carefully into the colander. Then
pour it back into the pan and add the tomato sauce. You can add some grated cheese if you like,
or some Parmesan.
You can also make fried eggs; they’re even easier. You can eat them with bread and butter or
toast. Take a small frying pan and put a little oil in it, no more than a teaspoonful. Put it on a
medium heat. While the pan is heating, (about 20 seconds), take the eggs out of the fridge. Break
one egg then the other by tapping them on the side of the pan, or with a knife. They will slide into
the pan gently. Try to break them into the pan one after the other, very quickly, so that the first
one does not cook more than the other. Leave them to cook for about one minute. If the white
starts to rise, just pierce it with a fork. They usually sizzle quite a lot while cooking. When the
whites are no longer transparent but really white, the eggs are cooked. Take them off the heat
and slide them onto your plate.
