Main part

1.Vocabulary

 Onion, butter, tomato, sugar, water, egg, coffee, sandwich, biscuit, roll, chocolate, juice, potato, pear, cheese.

___________________________________     _________________________________                    __________________________________      _________________________________      __________________________________      _________________________________

       2. Listening 1

1)       What are the names of the children and what are they talking about?

2)       What do the children drink at weekends?

3)       What is Katharina’s favourite jam?

4)       What kind of coffee do the parents like?

5)       What do the Kohlheims usually eat for breakfast?

6)       What is Niklas’s favourite breakfast?

(Students listen to the text and answer the questions)

Task for listening (CD2,19/ ex.1)

     Hello, our names are Katharina and Niklas Kohlheim. We are 8 and 10 years old. What do we usually have for breakfast ?

     Well, we usually eat bread and butter, jam or marmalade, and cheese, eggs, bacon or salami. We usually drink tea with milk, or sometimes fruit tea.

     At weekends we have a glass of milk. Our parents like white coffee (that's coffee with milk). We also drink juice; orange juice is the best.

     Katharina prefers bread and butter, with strawberry jam, and I like bread and cheese and boiled eggs. What is your favourite breakfast?

T: Read the same text on your cards. (Students read the text and teacher asks them to put it away). Now you get another paper with the text which looks familiar, doesn’t it? Though, it has lots of mistakes. Your task is to correct them according to the previous text. (Students write the corrected story into their exercise-books)

Text for correcting

     The parents drink black coffee. The children only like milk and juice. They never drink fruit tea. They usually have biscuits and fruit for breakfast. Katharina sometimes eats bread and butter with marmalade. Niklas prefers rolls with salami and tomatoes.

T: There is much talking about healthy eating nowadays. Listen to the recording about Isabel’s diet and answer some questions after.(CD2,21/ ex.7)

      WHAT DO I EAT TO BE HEALTHY?

      Hello, my name is Isabelle. I work in an office. I love my job, but I sit at my desk all the time. I usually run in the park after work and I eat healthy food to be fit.

      I prefer fruit and vegetables. I like bananas, oranges, melons, apples, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce.

    For breakfast I usually have cereal and milk. I never eat bread, salami or eggs! When I come to work, I make a cup of coffee - without sugar, of course. My lunchbreak is very short. I just eat a chicken sandwich with lettuce - and no mayonnaise.

     I try to have a hot meal for dinner every day. I usually eat chicken or fish with potatoes or rice. And a lot of vegetables!

     Do you want to know my secret? I love chocolate!
Milk chocolate is my favourite. I eat it sometimes and then run for a longer time in the park.

T: Now answer the questions:

A)   What are Isabelle's favourite fruits ?

B)    And favourite vegetables?

C)    "What is her favourite drink in the morning?

D)   What sandwich does she eat for lunch?

E)     Does she eat anything unhealthy?

F)    What is her usual dinner ?

4. Speaking

T: What do you think of healthy food? Are you interested in Isabel’s diet? Suppose you came to a nutritionist to improve your eating habits. What questions would you like to ask him/her?

(Students make a list of questions about their diet)

e.g. P: If I had the opportunity to talk to a nutritionist, I would ask him/her some questions:

      – I want to loose 5 kg. What diet  would you recommend?

      - What time should I eat supper?

      - What products are harmless for me? etc.

T: Now we are able to make a list of recommendations how to keep fit and healthy.

(Students sum up the recommendations)

3. Work in pairs

T: While you are in an English-speaking shop, make sure you are able to maintain a proper conversation. You have a heap of intermixed phrases. Order them and make a dialogue, then write it in your exercise-books and perform it with your friend.

5. Reading

T: Do you know any traditional UK dishes? What are they made of? Now read the short texts to get some information (from Access4, p35).

Shepherd’s Pie

     The British love to eat this delicious dish. They make it with minced lamb or beef and carrots topped with mashed potatoes.

Fish & Chips

     This is England's traditional takeaway food. This is fish such as cod or haddock, deep fried in batter with fried potatoes seasoned with salt and vinegar.

Yorkshire Pudding

     The British love Yorkshire pudding. They make it from flour, eggs and milk and once cooked it is usually moistened with gravy. Unlike other puddings, this is not a dessert. The British eat it as part of the main course.

Sunday Roast Dinner

     Sunday lunchtime is when most British people eat the Sunday roast. This dish consists of roast meat, two or more different kinds of green vegetables and roast potatoes. It can be roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, roast chicken and gravy or roast lamb and mint sauce.

T: You probably do not have all these ingredients at home. So, you need to go shopping and buy them. If you are ready, then perform the dialogue “Buying ingredients for Shepherd’s Pie”

Summing up

T: The lesson is almost over. What do you feel now? Was it interesting or useful for you? If you were going shopping abroad, would it be easy for you to buy food? Can you name any traditional British dishes? If your answers are "yes", then the lesson was a suссess!
