e-lesson
Week starting: 11th February 2008 1. Food challenge! This weeks lesson consists of different exercises on the subject of food. Level Pre-intermediate and above (equivalent to CEF level A2-B1 and above) How to use the lesson 1. Brainstorm on the subject of food, for example by asking students what their favourite dishes are, and which types of food they associate with certain countries or regions. 2. Divide the students into pairs and give each pair a copy of Worksheet A. Give them a few minutes to do Exercise 1, in which they have to choose the odd one out and complete simple gap-fills. As in all the exercises, encourage the students to look up any new vocabulary. For numbers 1-6 there might be more than one possible answer, so you should accept any answer for which the students can offer a coherent argument. Note that this exercise introduces some of the vocabulary in Exercise 3. 3. Check answers in open class. 4. Keeping the students in their pairs, give them a few minutes to do Exercise 2, another simple gap-fill. Note that this exercise introduces some of the vocabulary in Exercise 4. 5. Check answers in open class. 6. Hand out Worksheet B and give the students at least five minutes to complete Exercise 3, in which they have to read descriptions of different types of food and then match them to the country or regions with which they are associated. 7. Check answers in open class. You could then tell the students the names of some of the types of food that are described. The Eastern European soup is borscht, the East African bread is injera, the Argentinian grilled meat is asado, the Brazilian dish of black beans and pork is feijoada, the Japanese raw fish is sashimi and sushi, and the Spanish rice dish is paella. 8. Hand out Worksheet C and give the students a few minutes to do Exercise 4, in which they have to put the jumbled instructions back in the right order. 9. Check answers in open class. 10. Finally, keeping students in their pairs, tell them that in Exercise 5 they are going to look at some statements about food and decide if they are true or false. They are then going to bet anything from 10 to 50 points on their guesses. 11. After the students have read and discussed the statements, they should write T (true) or F (false) in the first column. In the second column they have to write the number of points they are willing to bet on their answer (10 points if they are forced to guess, going up to 50 if they are very confident about the answer). 12. After the pairs have given their answers, its time to score. Each pair calls out their answer and how many points they have bet. If they have answered correctly, students enter their points in the final column (points won). If they have answered incorrectly, they should enter their points in the third column (points lost). At the end, students subtract the total of the third column from the total of the fourth column to give the total number of points they have won. The pair with the most points wins.

READING Read the text about different peoples breakfasts from around the world. Match the photo to the correct person (ad).

c Eren (Turkey)

People from all over the world love Turkish breakfasts because there is so much choice wonderful fresh fruit, cheeses, olives and pastries. You can even have salad for breakfast. But we dont always have this kind of thing at home, only on special occasions. I normally have some watermelon or tomato and cheese with some bread and a strong coffee or delicious tea Turkish style, of course!
d Jess (USA)

a Bao (China)

I dont have much time to eat breakfast. I normally have it standing up in the kitchen. I eat anything that we have in the fridge, maybe some fruit or congee a kind of rice soup, which is very typical here. My family and I usually have breakfast in a restaurant at the weekend. We eat dim sum, which are savoury snacks that we have with tea. Its common for all families to meet like this and eat together in big groups. We dont like eating alone, its true much nicer for us to eat with lots of people around.
b Maria (Italy)

Im not hungry first thing in the morning so I just leave the house without eating anything. But then at about 11, I get peckish, so Ill have a bagel, which is a piece of bread with a hole in the middle. You can have it with anything you like smoked salmon, jam, or just plain. At the weekend, we usually have brunch at 12 or 1, thats breakfast and lunch in one. You have can have anything you want sweet or savoury and people eat a lot, we have quite a reputation for that! Many visitors cant eat it all. We usually eat out a lot. Its great but the family tradition of eating together at home has gone and thats a shame. 2 Read the text again. Match the speakers (ad) to the facts (17). 1 They sometimes eat breakfast with their family. Breakfast isnt really a big event. They have breakfast in a hurry. They dont like their countrys breakfast much. There may be too much food for some people. They mention other cultures opinion of their food. Time for breakfast changes on certain days.
PHOTOCOPIABLE

Breakfast isnt a big meal here. At home, a lot of people dont have breakfast. We have some bread or pastry, fresh fruit or juice and a cappuccino but its quite a social thing, so lots of people have it outside in bars and restaurants. You meet people for breakfast its not the food thats important but the meeting, I think! I think breakfast is quite small here and not that tasty, perhaps thats because we like to have a big lunch and we wouldnt be hungry for that otherwise.

Culture World food Teachers Notes

Activity Matching Personalisation Q&A target language Interpreting a cartoon Writing a short essay Language Present simple Adverbs of frequency Foods To use: After Students Book Unit 1 in class, as selfstudy or homework activity. Preparation: Make one copy of the worksheet for each student.

Key
1 b Maria (Italy) 2 1 Bao, 2 Maria, 3 Bao, 4 Maria, 5 Jess, 6 Eren, 7 Jess 3 Students own answers. 4a The tradition of eating together as a family has gone. 4b Suggested answer: They are criticising the mothers food and are unwilling to eat the food she has prepared for them. 4c Students own answers. 5 Students own answers.

Procedure
This worksheet can be given as homework or be done in pairs/groups in class. 1 Give a worksheet to each student. Then ask them to skim the text quickly for overall understanding and match the picture to the correct person. They can use a monolingual dictionary to help with vocabulary. 2 Next, ask the students to scan the text more carefully and match each of the speakers to the facts. Students can check answers in pairs and then with the whole class.

3 Organise students into pairs or small groups and encourage them to discuss the questions. Give your opinion about a typical breakfast in your country and discuss what your own preferences and habits are. Additionally, students could research other world breakfasts online. Ask them to select a country and find information about the way people eat breakfast there. Then ask them to report back their findings to the class. 4a & b Focus students attention on the cartoon and the questions in 1a. Establish the point of the cartoon: i.e. it shows the breakdown of the family tradition of eating together. Different lifestyles and tastes have altered the way we eat. Ask students to summarise the problems each member of the family has with the meal, to act as prompts, e.g. The son is not hungry because he has already eaten something; the father is too busy watching the match, etc. 4c Ask students to discuss the statement and to make notes both for and against. Ask them to consider whether things may have changed in the last 20 years and why. 5 Ask students to base their essay on their notes from 4c. They must give information both for and against the statement but conclude with their opinion. This stage can be set as homework.
