每日口說挑戰用科學方法做出美味焗烤起司三明治！ (The Science of the Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich)

Jenny's 口說逐字稿！
Intro:
Hi, There! Today we’re going to learn about the chemistry behind cheese, and more specifically - grilled cheese. Who doesn't like grilled cheese sandwiches? They are tasty and easy to make. However - there are better and worse ways of making grilled cheese sandwiches. It really depends on the kind of cheese you are using and other ingredients as well. I mean in the end, it is all about individual taste, but there are some golden rules that are always good to remember. For example, some people like their toasts burnt while others don’t. Some like extra cheese and some prefer less. But one thing never changes - we can change the way our food tastes and looks by the simple act of heating it. We can change its texture, its color, its elasticity, etc. Such as roasting meat, toasting bread, and by heating sugar, we can cause it to caramelize. These are all chemical changes, ways we can manipulate our food and make it better.

Mmm...talking about food is making me hungry! You can watch the video later and learn about the process that’s behind grilled cheese sandwiches!
But hang on, before you do that, let’s first have a listen to our sentence of the day:

Sentence:
The secret to getting the perfect cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich is to find one with the right pH to perfectly balance out the calcium and protein structure.
要製作烤起司三明治的完美起司的關鍵就是找到能夠平衡鈣質與蛋白質結構的酸度。

Pronunciation tips:
secret - first ‘e’ is a long e sound, second ‘e’ is a short uh sound
perfect - here in its adj form, the stress is on the first syllable. If it’s used as a verb the stress is on the second syllable
balance
protein

Vocabulary: 
1. grill (v.) KK[grɪl] IPA /ɡrɪl/
（在火焰或燒熱的煤上）燒烤 to cook food over fire or hot coals, usually on a metal frame

Example:

我好愛牛排在烤肉架上發出的滋滋聲。

2. balance (n.) KK[ˋbæləns] IPA /ˈbæl.əns/
平衡 a state where things are of equal weight or force

Example:
It is important to keep the different aspects of your life, such as work and leisure, in balance.

Hi, There! Today we’re going to learn about the chemistry(化學特性) behind cheese, and more specifically - grilled cheese. Who doesn't like grilled cheese sandwiches? They are tasty(美味的) and easy to make. However - there are better and worse ways of making grilled cheese sandwiches. It really depends on the kind of cheese you are using and other ingredients as well.

【心得】以前都以為有起司口味的食物很難會不好吃，直到我之前嘗試了不倒翁起司乾拌杯麵，它的起司粉有股噁心的臭味，因為不想浪費，忍著把它吃完，還好它的份量不多，但我看網路試吃好像沒人在說這個問題，所以也可能是我個人口味的關係。
