VOCABULARY
I. Fill in the passage with an appropriate word

A. I grow up in a(n) extended family as my grandparents and a couple of aunts and an uncle
lived with us. We saw a lot of our distant relatives as well as our close ones. I think that
families tended to much more close-knit then- we talked to each other more and did things
together. I’m sure there are far more dysfunctional families now than there used to be- you
know, where parents hardly spend any more with their children or with each other. Children
develop behavior problems when their parents go through a bitter divorce. Following that,
parents will fight over the custody of the children. Children will have a troubled childhood.
B. Tom: Kids eat far too much junk food.
Lucy: Yeah, but it’s hard to get them to eat nourishing meals1. They think they’re boring.
Sergio: Have you tried the new supermarket yet?
Jim: Yes. The fresh produce2 is excellent, and they have a big organic food section.
Sergio: Mm, yes. I actually think their ready meals3 are good too.
Liam: I can’t believe food additives4 are good for our long-term health.
Ryan: No, and I think processed foods5 in general are probably bad for us, not to mention GM
foods6!
Stella: The restaurant was leaving perishable food 7 lying round outside the fridge, and some
people got food poisoning, so the authorities closed it down. \
Jaxon: Oh dear
