Interviewer When do you collect the food? What time of
day?
Adam We can’t do it while the shops and restaurants
are open. So we have to collect the food at
night.
Interviewer Are you a freegan because you don’t want to
spend money? And because you want free
food?
Adam No, not at all. I’m a freegan because I want to
make the environment better. When people
waste food, they waste money and they waste
time and resources.
Interviewer Are a lot of your friends freegans too?
Adam Some of them are. But all of my friends
understand my lifestyle. And they often come
to my house for dinner!

2.23 Lesson 4D, Exercise 1
Sophie What are you doing, Jim?
Jim I’m looking for ingredients. How much flour have
we got? How many carrots are there?
Sophie There’s a little flour in the cupboard, and there
are a few carrots in the fridge.
Jim Good. … Oh, dear. There isn’t much sugar in the
bowl. And we haven’t got many eggs.
Sophie What do you need them for?
Jim I want to make a carrot cake.
Sophie But you can’t cook!
Jim Yes I can! That isn’t very nice!
Sophie Sorry. Look, there’s a lot of sugar in the
cupboard. And three eggs are enough.
Jim Great … Oh, hang on. There’s only one carrot in
the fridge. Can I use a pepper instead?
