Making a Simple Dinner (A1) – задание на чтение на английском с переводом

Making a simple dinner at home can be easy and useful. People do not always need a difficult recipe or many ingredients. A simple meal can be ready in a short time. It can also cost less than food from a restaurant.

First, it is helpful to decide what to cook. People can choose a meal with a few ingredients. For example, they can make pasta with vegetables, rice with chicken, or eggs with bread and salad. It is a good idea to check the kitchen before going shopping. This helps people avoid buying things they already have.

Before cooking, people should prepare the ingredients. They can wash vegetables, cut food, and put everything they need on the table. It is also important to wash their hands. A clean kitchen makes cooking safer.

Then people can start cooking. They should follow simple steps and watch the food carefully. Hot pans, knives, and boiling water can be dangerous, so people need to be careful. They should not leave food on the stove for long.

While the food is cooking, people can prepare plates and drinks. They can also clean small things in the kitchen. This saves time after dinner. When the meal is ready, it is useful to check that hot food is fully cooked.

After dinner, people can put extra food in the fridge, wash the dishes, and clean the table. A simple dinner does not have to be special. It only needs to be tasty, safe, and easy to prepare.
