Teens in London: Lucy & her Egyptian family Transcript Seite 1 0:04 Lucy and her mother are going to a market today. This market has many different kinds of fruits and vegetables on offer. (0:15) They are buying fresh ingredients for a family dinner at the weekend. 0:22 Mother You have some aubergines? You have small aubergine? Okay, can I have two, please? 0:31 Aubergines are typical of Egyptian meals. Lucy s parents come from Egypt.

I m 13 years old and I live in England. 0:54 Vorspann 1:10 The shopping for the weekend is done. Lucy and her mum have found all the ingredients. 1:16 Me and my mum we are going to cook the Egyptian meal and then we are going to have it with our family. 1:24 Lucy and her mother have some time left to stroll around. The thirteen-year-old girl enjoys going for a walk through her neighbourhood. But not alone, only with her mother. 1:36 Here in Streatham, which is in the south of London, there is a special high street. Streatham High Road was voted the worst street in Britain in 2002, because of poverty and traffic chaos. It s safer and better now, but still it s not a good place for younger teenagers.

That is why Lucy feels safe and fine here. 2:04 I quite like it in London but I can t really imagine myself living anywhere else because I m really used to living here. So, it would be quite hard to adopt different life styles in different countries. 2:15 The shopping bags are put into the car boot. It s time to go home. Lucy has to get up early for school tomorrow. 2:26 Streatham and Clapham High School is a private school just for girls. Lucy is on the way to her lessons. She is especially looking forward to the last lesson before the weekend starts: it s sport. Lucy goes through the school building to reach the playing field. 2:47 Her class is playing rounders. It s very popular at British schools and is similar to American baseball. 2:58 You have a bat and a ball and you have four posts. And you have to try to get a rounder which is going around the whole way. And half a rounder is if you get to the second post. And you have to try not to get out. 3:12 Anpfiff 3:15 And go! The girls have to throw the ball, run around the field, and pass the different posts. 3:27 Go Lucy! 3:28 Lucy is cheering for a girl in her class with the same name as her. 3:34 Lucy I m gonna miss the ball.

Will she hit the ball? 3:57 That was a miss. And that was another! 4:02 Well done! Lucy starts running. 4:07 She reaches the different posts. And: she made it. 4:14 teacher Okay, ladies, that s it for today. 4:17 The sport lesson is over, and so is school. Now it s time for the weekend. 4:24 The next day. Lucy is waiting for her friend. 4:28 Lucy and Keira Hi Lucy, how are you. Good, thanks. 4:32 Lucy and her friend Keira are planning to go shopping in town before Lucy has dinner with her family tonight. (4:41) The girls are chatting about school and the latest news. Lucy s and Keira s parents have allowed them to take a trip into the City Centre on their own. They are already excited. The big shopping streets are coming closer. And they are really into shopping. 5:00 Lucy and Keira Yeah, that s basically what we do. I love shopping and hanging out with friends.

The two friends are searching for a special shop they ve heard about. They have to ask where it is. 5:28 Excuse me, do you know where Abercrombie & Fitch is? I do actually. Just keep walking straight down this lane. It s about 200 meters and than it is on the right hand side. There is actually no signs like Abercrombie & Fitch. But you hear loud music. It s a really old big building. You just keep going this way. Thank you very much, bye, you re welcome. 5:49 No wonder they cannot find the brand-new shop on their own. Regent and Oxford Street are just huge. You can easily get lost. Everyone comes here to go shopping, Londoners as well as visitors. It s one of London s highlights. (6:13) Finally, there it is! Lucy and Keira have found their hot shop. 6:24 And their shopping was successful. 6:29 and Keira We bought a top and I bought a T-Shirt. 6:33 It s time for Lucy to go home to Streatham. 6:42 Lucy s family lives in one of these terraced houses. They look small. But they are comfortable. 6:55 The preparations for the Egyptian family dinner have already started. Lucy s mother cooks the main course with the fresh aubergines which they bought the other day.

It s called Cataifi. 7:20 The special thing about the Cataifi is that is very sweet. And it s a traditional Egyptian dessert with a lot of fruit and nuts that we have. 7:34 While Lucy and her mother cook in the kitchen, Lucy s sister Linda and her father are relaxing in the living room. 7:44 In the meantime the Egyptian dessert is almost finished. What is still missing are some nuts, raisins and the rest of the pastry. And now into the oven. (7:58) The special Egyptian dinner is ready. Lucy s family normally eats British food. 8:06 We have a lot of fish and chips and the English breakfast which is sausage, eggs, beans and bacon. But I don t prefer Egyptian or English food. I like them the same. 8:24 Obviously Lucy likes the Egyptian dinner. And so does the rest of the family. 8:31 Father I m looking forward for my dessert. 8:34 That s the keyword! Everyone is looking forward to eating Cataifi, the dessert. It s really tasty, sweet and juicy. And authentic. The only difference to Egypt: some clotted cream is missing. 8:49 Sister and Mother Do you like it? Do you remember when we had it in Alexandria. We had it with clotted cream, yeah, very nice.

And we have traditional Egyptian food at times, which some people don t know about. 9:20 There s still a few weeks until their holidays. But the Egyptian dessert tastes just as good at home, in London.
