Questions 12 through 16 refer to the following graph and article. ![](../uploads/listening/images/STE55.jpg) Summer is once again approaching, and although nowadays ice cream is a treat enjoyed by most people throughout the year, its sales soar in the summer months. When we were young. the choices were simple: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. However, nowadays the variety of ice cream flavors is almost limitless. Here at Food and Drink Monthly we decide to find out just what kinds of ice cream young people enjoyed these days. We got together with well-known ice cream manufacturer ”Dairy Delights" to do some research. A survey was made of one hundred thirteen year olds: 50 boys and 50 girls. They are asked to taste six kinds of ice cream and then choose their favorite flavor. The choices were vanilla, chocolate. strawberry. raspberry, green tea and chocolate chip. The taste test participants were blindfolded so that they could not see any of the ice cream. Every participant was given a glass of water to rinse out his or her mouth between tastings. The results showed that few of the participants liked green tea ice cream. Some of them said it tasted bitter. Most participants chose vanilla as their favorite flavor, followed by chocolate. The two fruit flavors, strawberry and raspberry were next, chosen by almost equal numbers of people. It seems that despite all the different flavors available nowadays, the old classic is still number one. Food and Dn'nk Monthly would like to thank "Dairy Delights" for providing the ice cream for the tastings, and ”Quick's Surveys and Polls" for their assistance in monitoring the survey. "Dairy Delights" ice cream can be found in all major supermarkets. |
