1 C to give information about a special category of people 2 1 sight In the first talk in the series on senses, we looked at sight. 2 cells This is someone with a higher density and number of cells for taste compared with the average. 3 limit This was the biggest shock for me when researching this talk – that being a supertaster can actually limit the range of foods you enjoy. 4 quarter … that leaves about a quarter of us who have a very strong reaction to the bitter taste. 5 (about) seventy So our sense of smell and taste fade over time, especially after reaching about seventy. 6 sophisticated What most people don’t realise is that we need the receptors in the nose to work with the taste buds to produce the sophisticated range of flavours we get from our diet. 7 chemical Humans have about 350different receptor genes for smells. Their job is to recognise the chemical pattern given off by different foods. 8 one trillion/a trillion Estimates vary as to how many individual smells humans can detect, but one study suggests it’s as many as one trillion. 9 tried the test. Many people from the team here at the Science for Life office all tried the test and I was really hoping to get supertaster status, but I’m sorry to say I was the worst taster of the whole group. 10 the worst I was really hoping to get supertaster status, but I’m sorry to say I was the worst taster of the whole group. 3 A sour B sweet C bitter D salty 4 1savoury 2strong 3watery 4hot 5fussy 5 1sweet 2bitter 3strong 4watery 5spicy 6hotter

It’s well worth trying the ForTeen Festival. It’s a five-day event that takes place every year in the first week of August. What makes it special? It’s specifically for 14–18-year-olds. One of the best things is the entertainment. It’s perfect for anyone interested in bands, clothes, movies or gadgets. There are performances and talks by well-known musicians and speakers. The festival also offers workshops and one-hour lessons so you can have a go at something new. It’s a very well-organised festival, located a few kilometres from the centre. The area is divided into zones for music, technology, fashion and cinema. So you can go for what you love, or try a bit of everything. Air-conditioned buses run every 15minutes to the festival and the area is accessible to wheelchairs. Just one day at ForTeen is fantastic, but if you have time, an all-inclusive ticket is really worth the money. I would highly recommend the event to students of my age. Check out the programme for this year. You won’t regret it.

5 To be honest, I’ve never been abroad, but I’d like to go to New Zealand because my favourite movie was filmed there. 6 I used to love just playing on the beach, but now I prefer spending time in cities. 7 I’m not really sure which school I’ll be at, but I’ll still be studying English. 7 Model answer I definitely prefer my capital city because there’s so much for teenagers to do there such as sports events and music festivals. I’d go for a summer beach holiday, I think, as I’m not very good at skiing. I love doing things like swimming and relaxing with my family in the sunshine. Australia, definitely! Three of my cousins live there, but I don’t see them very often because of the distance. I used to look forward to going to the water park on holiday every year. I loved all the activities, for example the water games and swimming races. Although I’m quite confident, I don’t think I’d like to travel alone because I would miss my family.

That’s exactly how I felt before I flew alone for the first time. But not everything went according to plan … On my sixteenth birthday, my parents agreed I could go to a music festival later that year. We’d decided that the easiest way to get to the event was to fly, so I’d been saving for an air ticket for months. Then the day finally arrived. I got to the local airport two hours early. I was certainly not going to miss this flight! I’m not scared of flying, so was full of confidence as the plane climbed into the sky. However, minutes later something went wrong. There was a huge bang and the plane suddenly shook. Panic spread and people started screaming. I learned later we’d been hit by a bird and an engine had been damaged. Luckily, the pilot was able to get us back to the airport. And my dad felt so sorry for me that he drove me to the festival. It certainly was a summer to remember! © Pear son Educat ion Limited 2018
