A) 2 — Organic food is expensive (Натуральные/органические продукты стоят дорого)

• Organic food is very popular these days. It can also be very costly. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food. Parents of young children, and even some pet owners, will pay high prices for organic food if they think it's healthier.

В тексте рассказывается о том, что натуральные продукты стоят дорого ("они [натуральные продукты] могут быть крайне дорогостоящими"; "некоторые натуральные продукты стоят в два раза дороже неорганических (ненатуральных)"; "родители маленьких детей и даже некоторые владельцы питомцев будут платить больше ради натуральных продуктов, если они считают их более полезными").

B) 3 — Ensuring the originality of organic food (Обеспечение оригинальности натуральных/органических продуктов)

• There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals such as pesticides that stop insects from damaging crops. In many countries foods that claim to be organic must have special labels that guarantee that they are organic.

В третьем предложении текста рассказывается о том, что во многих странах натуральные продукты помечают с помощью специальных этикеток, гарантирующих, что это натуральный продукт.

C) 1 — The benefits of organic food (Польза натуральных/органических продуктов)

• Is organic food safer and more nutritious? This is an important part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals can cause serious illnesses like cancer, but there isn't much evidence proving this is true.

В тексте рассказывается о том, что многие фермеры и покупатели верят в то, что натуральные продукты более безопасны и питательны, а также что сельскохозяйственные химикаты могут провоцировать серьезные болезни, такие как рак.

D) 4 — Professional views on organic food (Профессиональные мнения касаемо натуральных/органических продуктов)

• Many doctors think it's more important to stop dangerous bacteria from contaminating foods. These bacteria can contaminate both organic and non-organic fruit and vegetables, and doctors recommend washing carefully before eating it. Meat, fish and chicken can also become contaminated, so washing them is also very important. Many doctors also believe we should reduce the amount of sugar in our diets, and there is a lot of evidence to support this idea.​

В тексте рассказывается о том, что многие доктора считают, что гораздо важнее предотвратить попадание вредоносных бактерий в пищевые продукты, так как они могут загрязнять как натуральные, так и неорганические продукты; они рекомендуют тщательно мыть продукты перед их употреблением. Также многие врачи считают, что люди должны сократить потребление сахара.
