Healthy eating worksheet with listening exercise and fresh produce image.

Let’s go through each blank one by one. Since this is a listening task, we’re expected to fill in the blanks based on what would be said in an audio clip about healthy eating. But since we don’t have the audio, we’ll use common knowledge about healthy eating guidelines to make logical guesses that fit the context and the “no more than three words” rule.

---

(1) Very important to eat a __________ diet.
→ Common phrase: “balanced diet” or “healthy diet”. Both are 2 words. “Balanced” is often used in nutrition advice.
✔ Likely answer: balanced

---

(2) People in Europe and USA eat __________ more sugar now than in 1800.
→ This is probably a number or quantity. Historical data shows sugar consumption has increased dramatically — often cited as “much” or “a lot”, but sometimes specific numbers like “ten times” or “five times”. Since it says “more sugar”, and we need ≤3 words, “much” is too vague. A common factoid is “ten times” or “five times”. Let’s assume it’s “ten times” (commonly cited).
✔ Likely answer: ten times

---

(3) Try to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. __________ servings a day, if possible.
→ Standard recommendation: 5 servings per day (WHO and many health orgs say 5-a-day).
✔ Likely answer: Five

---

(4) Avoid foods containing a lot of sugar, especially __________ drinks.
→ Obvious target: sugary drinks → “soft drinks”, “sugary drinks”, “carbonated drinks”. Most common term in health advice: “soft drinks” or “sugary drinks”. “Soft drinks” is 2 words.
✔ Likely answer: soft

*(Note: Could also be “sugary”, but “soft drinks” is a standard phrase.)*

Wait — let’s check: “especially ______ drinks.” If we put “soft”, it becomes “soft drinks” — which is correct. But the blank is before “drinks”, so we just need the adjective. “Soft” works. Alternatively, “sugary” also fits. But “soft drinks” is a fixed term. So “soft” is better.

✔ Final for (4): soft

---

(5) Cut down on fat - eat lean meat, poultry, fish and low-fat __________.
→ What goes with “low-fat”? Dairy products — like milk, yogurt, cheese. Common phrase: “low-fat dairy” or “low-fat products”. “Dairy” is one word and fits perfectly.
✔ Likely answer: dairy

---

(6) Eat no more than __________ eggs a week.
→ Common dietary guideline: up to 7 eggs per week is often considered safe for most people. Some say 3–4, but 7 is widely accepted.
✔ Likely answer: seven

---

(7) In cooking, use lemon juice instead of __________.
→ Lemon juice is often used as a substitute for salt or vinegar or oil? Actually, in healthy cooking, lemon juice replaces salt to reduce sodium. Or sometimes replaces cream or butter? But most common substitution: instead of salt. Because lemon adds flavor without sodium.
✔ Likely answer: salt

---

(8) Try to eat regularly __________ day.
→ Phrase: “three meals a day” or “regularly throughout the day”. But blank is before “day”. So likely: “three times a day” → but that’s 3 words. Wait — “every day”? No, that doesn’t fit. “Throughout the day”? Too long. Common advice: “eat regularly every day” — but again, blank is before “day”. Maybe “each”? “Every”? But those are weak. Another possibility: “three meals” — but then it would be “three meals day” — missing “a”. Hmm.

Wait — perhaps it’s “three times a day” — but the blank is only for the part before “day”. The sentence is: “Try to eat regularly (8)__________ day”

So maybe it’s “throughout the” — but that’s two words. Or “every single” — no.

Actually, common phrase: “eat regularly every day” — but “every” is one word. That could work. But “every day” is redundant with “regularly”.

Another idea: “at least three meals” — too long.

Perhaps it’s “three times” — making it “three times day” — which is grammatically off. Should be “three times a day”.

Wait — maybe the blank includes “a”? The instruction says “complete the blanks”, and the blank is before “day”. So perhaps the full phrase is “three times a day”, and the blank is for “three times a” — but that’s 3 words. Allowed!

Yes! “three times a” — 3 words — fits.

But let’s see: “Try to eat regularly three times a day” — yes, that makes sense.

✔ Likely answer: three times a

---

(9) Most nutritious fruit is an __________.
→ Then it gives facts: 165 calories per 100g, 10x protein as milk, more vitamins A,B,C than milk.

What fruit has high calories, high protein compared to milk, and lots of vitamins?

Banana? Avocado? Let’s think:

- Banana: ~89 cal/100g — too low.
- Avocado: ~160 cal/100g — close to 165.
- Protein in avocado: about 2g per 100g; milk has ~3.4g — so not 10x.
Wait — 10 times protein as milk? That can’t be right — milk has decent protein. Unless it’s comparing per calorie or something? Or maybe it’s a trick.

Wait — perhaps it’s avocado? But protein doesn’t match.

Another candidate: durian? High calorie, but not commonly called “most nutritious”.

Wait — maybe it’s banana? But calories don’t match.

Hold on — perhaps it’s coconut? Coconut meat: ~354 cal/100g — too high.

Wait — let’s reverse-engineer: 165 cal/100g — that’s very high for a fruit. Only avocados and some dried fruits come close. But dried fruits aren’t typically called “fruit” in this context.

Avocado is technically a fruit. And it’s often called highly nutritious.

Protein: avocado has about 2g protein per 100g. Milk has about 3.4g. So 2g vs 3.4g — not 10x. In fact, less.

Unless... maybe it’s “10% more protein”? But it says “10 __________ protein as milk” — so likely “times”.

That doesn’t add up.

Wait — perhaps it’s a mistake? Or maybe it’s soybean? But soybean isn’t a fruit.

Another thought: jackfruit? Calories ~95 — too low.

Wait — perhaps it’s mango? ~60 cal — no.

Let me search my knowledge: Is there a fruit with 165 cal/100g and 10x protein of milk?

Milk protein: ~3.4g/100ml. 10x would be 34g — that’s like meat level. No fruit has that.

Unless... maybe it’s “10% more”? But the blank is for a word before “protein”.

The text says: “10 __________ protein as milk”

Common phrasing: “10 times more protein” — but again, unrealistic.

Perhaps it’s “as much” — but 10 as much? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “10 grams” — but milk has 3.4g, so 10g is about 3x, not 10x.

This is confusing.

Alternative approach: Perhaps the fruit is avocado, and the “10 times” is a misstatement, or perhaps it’s comparing to skim milk or something.

But let’s look at vitamins: avocado has good vitamins, but not notably higher A,B,C than milk — milk has B2, B12, etc.

Another candidate: kiwi? Low calorie.

Wait — perhaps it’s banana and the calorie count is wrong? Banana is 89, not 165.

Unless it’s dried banana? But not specified.

Perhaps it’s date? Dates are high calorie: ~282 cal/100g — too high.

Fig? ~74 cal.

I think there might be a mistake in the problem, or perhaps I’m missing something.

Wait — what if it’s coconut water? No, low calorie.

Another idea: olive? Not sweet fruit.

Perhaps it’s avocado, and the “10 times” is incorrect, but in some contexts, they might say that.

Or maybe it’s “10% more” — but the blank is for a word, and “percent” is one word, but “10 percent” is two words — allowed.

But the text says “10 __________ protein as milk” — so if we put “percent more”, that’s two words, but “10 percent more protein as milk” is awkward — usually “than milk”.

The phrase is “as milk”, so likely “times” or “grams”.

Let’s assume it’s “times” and the fruit is avocado, even if the numbers are approximate.

In many educational materials, avocado is highlighted as super nutritious.

Also, avocado has more vitamin E, K, folate, etc., but not necessarily A,B,C more than milk.

Milk has vitamin A and B2, B12.

Avocado has B5, B6, C, E, K.

Not clearly more A,B,C.

Perhaps it’s orange? High vitamin C, but low calorie.

I recall that guava has very high vitamin C — 228mg/100g vs milk's trace amounts. Calories: 68 — too low.

Papaya: 43 cal.

None match 165 cal.

Wait — persimmon? ~81 cal.

I think the only fruit close to 165 cal/100g is avocado (~160), and perhaps they rounded up.

And for protein, maybe they mean per serving or something else.

Perhaps "10" refers to something else.

Another thought: maybe "10" is part of the blank? No, the blank is after "10".

The text is: "10 __________ protein as milk"

So the blank is between "10" and "protein".

Possible words: "times", "grams", "percent", "fold", etc.

If we put "times", it's "10 times protein as milk" — which is grammatically odd; should be "10 times as much protein as milk".

But in informal speech, it might be shortened.

Perhaps it's "10 g" — but milk has 3.4g, so not 10g.

Unless it's concentrated or something.

I think for the sake of this exercise, we'll go with avocado as the fruit, and for the blank in (9), it's "avocado", and for the "10 __________", we'll assume it's "times" even if inaccurate, or perhaps it's a different interpretation.

But let's read the whole thing: "Most nutritious fruit is an (9)__________." Then bullet points.

So (9) is the name of the fruit.

Then "Contains- 165 calories per 100 g" — so the fruit has that.

"10 __________ protein as milk" — so the blank here is separate from (9)? No, looking back:

"Most nutritious fruit is an (9)_______________________

Contains- 165 calories per 100 g

10 _______________ protein as milk

More vitamins A, B and C than milk"

Oh! I see — the "10 __________" is not part of (9); it's a separate line. But in the image, it's listed under (9), but actually, (9) is only for the fruit name, and the next lines are additional info, but they have their own blank? No, looking at the original:

"Most nutritious fruit is an (9)_______________________

Contains- 165 calories per 100 g

10 _______________ protein as milk

More vitamins A, B and C than milk"

The "10 _______________" has its own blank, but it's not numbered. In the user's message, it's written as:

"Most nutritious fruit is an (9)_______________________

Contains- 165 calories per 100 g

10 _______________ protein as milk

More vitamins A, B and C than milk"

And in the initial description, only (1) to (9) are numbered, so the "10 _______________" is probably not a separate blank to fill; it's part of the description for (9). But it has a blank, so likely it is a blank to fill, but not numbered. That might be a oversight.

In the user's input, it's:

"Most nutritious fruit is an (9)_______________________

Contains- 165 calories per 100 g

10 _______________ protein as milk

More vitamins A, B and C than milk"

And the instruction is to complete the blanks, and there are blanks for (1) to (9), but here there's an additional blank in "10 _______________". Probably, this is meant to be filled, but it's not numbered. Perhaps it's part of (9)'s description, but still needs filling.

To clarify, in the original worksheet, likely all underscores are blanks to fill, and (9) is for the fruit, and the "10 _______________" is another blank, but since it's not numbered, perhaps it's included in the context.

But in the user's message, only (1) to (9) are explicitly numbered, so perhaps the "10 _______________" is not a separate blank; it's just text, and the blank is only for (9).

Let's check the user's input carefully:

"Most nutritious fruit is an (9)_______________________

Contains- 165 calories per 100 g

10 _______________ protein as milk

More vitamins A, B and C than milk"

There is a blank after "10", so it must be filled. But it's not numbered. Perhaps it's a typo, or perhaps it's part of the same item.

Maybe for (9), we fill the fruit, and the "10 _______________" is to be filled as well, but since it's not numbered, we should include it.

But the instruction says "complete the blanks" and lists (1) to (9), so likely only those 9 blanks.

In that case, the "10 _______________" might be a distractor or part of the description, but it has a blank, so probably it's intended to be filled.

To resolve this, I think in the context, for (9), we put the fruit name, and the "10 _______________" is additional, but since it's there, and has a blank, we should fill it too, but the numbering stops at 9.

Perhaps the "10 _______________" is blank number 10, but not labeled.

Given the confusion, and since the user said "solve the problem", and there are 9 numbered blanks, I'll assume that the "10 _______________" is not a separate blank to fill for this exercise, or perhaps it's part of the clue for (9).

But that doesn't make sense.

Another possibility: in some worksheets, the blank for (9) is for the fruit, and the following lines are given, and the "10 _______________" is to be inferred, but not filled as a separate answer.

I think for practical purposes, we'll focus on the 9 numbered blanks, and for (9), we need to put the fruit name, and the other information is to help us identify it.

So, back to identifying the fruit with 165 cal/100g, and high protein and vitamins.

Upon second thought, I recall that avocado is often cited as having about 160 calories per 100g, and while its protein is not 10 times milk's, perhaps in the audio, they said something else, or perhaps it's a different fruit.

What about durian? Calories ~147, close to 165. Protein ~1.5g, milk 3.4g — not 10x.

Jackfruit: 95 cal.

Perhaps it's banana and the calorie count is for a different form.

Another idea: perhaps "10" is "ten", and the blank is "times", and the fruit is avocado, and we accept the approximation.

Or perhaps it's "10% more", but "percent" is one word.

Let's calculate: if milk has 3.4g protein/100ml, 10% more would be 3.74g, which is not significant, and avocado has 2g, which is less.

Unless they mean per calorie or something.

Perhaps "10" refers to the number of amino acids or something, but that's stretch.

I think the most reasonable choice is avocado for (9), and for the "10 _______________", if we must fill it, "times" is the best guess, even if inaccurate.

But since the blank is not numbered, and the user only asked for (1) to (9), I'll proceed with (9) as "avocado".

So for (9): avocado

Then the "10 _______________" might be "times", but since it's not numbered, perhaps it's not required, or perhaps it's part of the answer for (9), but that doesn't make sense.

Looking back at the user's message, in the text, it's written as:

"Most nutritious fruit is an (9)_______________________

Contains- 165 calories per 100 g

10 _______________ protein as milk

More vitamins A, B and C than milk"

And in the initial list, only (1) to (9) are mentioned, so likely the "10 _______________" is not a separate blank to fill for this task; it's just additional information, and the blank is only for the fruit name in (9).

In that case, we ignore filling "10 _______________" as a separate answer, and focus on (9) being the fruit.

So (9) = avocado

For the "10 _______________", if it were to be filled, it might be "times", but since it's not numbered, we won't include it in the final answer for the 9 blanks.

So summarizing:

(1) balanced
(2) ten times
(3) Five
(4) soft
(5) dairy
(6) seven
(7) salt
(8) three times a
(9) avocado

For (8), "three times a" is 3 words, which is allowed.

For (2), "ten times" is 2 words.

All seem reasonable.

Final Answer:
(1) balanced
(2) ten times
(3) Five
(4) soft
(5) dairy
(6) seven
(7) salt
(8) three times a
(9) avocado
