The correct answer is dishes because Sally says the course adapts ordinary dishes for families, while quick meals and diet menus are only distractors.
Associated Text:
Sally: The title is Healthy Family Suppers. It isn't a diet course, and it isn't just recipes either. The tutor spends a lot of time on everyday dishes, mostly vegetarian ones, and how to make them healthy but still practical for families.
Daniel: So is it mainly about making quick family meals, then?
Sally: Quick matters, but the main thing you're adapting is ordinary dishes, not special diet menus.
The correct answer is ingredients because Sally says the market task is choosing ingredients, not paying for food or simply receiving a prepared bag.
Associated Text:
Daniel: And the market visit, is that just watching the tutor choose things, or do we pay for the food ourselves?
Sally: You won't handle the payments. The point is choosing ingredients yourselves at a local market in the second week, instead of being handed a bag of them.
The correct answer is budget because Sally corrects “price list” and says students manage the budget for a meal.
Associated Text:
Sally: Yes, although they don't call it a price list. They want students to manage the budget for a meal properly, so I'd mention that when you sign up.
The correct answer is knife because Daniel asks about chopping equipment, and Sally explains that boards are supplied but blades are not, so he should take one from home.
Associated Text:
Daniel: What about equipment for chopping? Do I need to take a knife, or are they supplied?
Sally: Boards are provided, but not the blades, so yes, take one from home.
The correct answer is attitude because Daniel asks whether the requirement is about attitude rather than natural talent, and Sally confirms this.
Associated Text:
Daniel: So it isn't about being naturally talented, it's more about attitude?
Sally: Exactly. The tutor wants people who keep going rather than panic.
The correct answer is one year because Daniel suggests six months, but Sally says the course asks for at least one year of family cooking.
Associated Text:
Sally: Sandwiches probably won't. I think they ask for at least one year of cooking for the family.
The correct answer is exercises because Sally says the weekly work is called exercises and clarifies that they are not essays or quizzes.
Associated Text:
Each week there is something to finish before the next class. They call them exercises, but they are quite practical, not essays or quizzes.
The correct answer is curiosity because Daniel contrasts copying steps with curiosity about how things work, and Sally confirms that is the desired quality.
Associated Text:
Daniel: So not just accuracy, then. Curiosity about how things work would be important?
Sally: Yes, that is exactly the sort of learner they are looking for.
The correct answer is pairs because Daniel mentions learning with one partner, and Sally says the course often uses pairs for testing code.
Associated Text:
They often use pairs for testing code, so that experience would help.
The correct answer is patient because Daniel says the tutor wants students to stay patient while fixing problems, rather than simply work quickly.
Associated Text:
The tutor is more interested in whether you can stay patient while you try to fix it. Getting it right matters more than being first.
