June 18, 2022



Improve your English language with this free lesson from BBC Learning English. Government scientists are warning that overcooked foods, such as potatoes, toast, crisps and waffles could increase the risk of developing cancer.

The Food Standards Agency says a potentially harmful compound called acrylamide is produced when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long at high temperatures.

Neil and Catherine look at the language the world’s media is using to discuss this story – and show you how you can use it in your everyday English.

Vocabulary:

over______
used as a prefix to mean ‘too much’

potential
describes something that is possible in the right circumstances

browned off
annoyed

    thanks for publishing as well

  23. Many thanks

  24. Could you pls add subtitles on it?

  25. Thank you for all these quite useful videos, guys! But there is one point which frustrate me: when the lady read some title from some mass media reports, she is always using titles with useful vocabularly which was printed on sheets!!!! In my humble opinion, this is quite envitonmentally-UNFRIENDLY! Can you, please, use tablets, or just screens of your computers for demonstrating and reading the titles!

  26. Really very simple and informative channel 🥰🥰🥰

  27. Finally someone's asking the real questions.

  28. It's not the first time Neil is telling about that he'd like to be a producer. What that person do? Neil is really good in what he's doing now 🙂
