School Dinner!

Tuesday 25^th February

Hello again!

And, the same thing again: why don’t you do homework?

Your classmates from Mondays and Wednesdays do their homework. And they are quite good at it!

If you take it a bit more seriously by the end of the course! You will have improved (get better, do it well) a lot!

Next term we will display (show) your projects in the classroom, so you’ll have to work harder!

I got really annoyed (angry) with you on Tuesday for two reasons; one was that you didn’t do homework and the other one was your behaviour in class. You behaved really bad last Tuesday. What happened? It was impossible to work!

Player 5, you were supposed to wait for your father to collect you. Why did you tell me you went home with the rest of your classmates?

As you didn’t do homework, I let you some time in class to tell me about your dishes.

Player 6 and Player 1’s exercises were quite good. The rest need much more work.

Then, we listened and role-played different dialogues about school dinner.

Don’t forget that we use “ it’s …” or “this is …” when we talk on the phone. Not “I am …”

·         Ring, ring!

·         Hey, Paula. It’s George. What are you doing?

·         I’m making pizza.

·         Are you making pizza? I love pizza.

·         Yes, I am. It’s for school dinner.

·         Oh no! I forgot school dinner! What can I make?

·         How about green salad? Everybody likes salad.

·         Good idea! Thanks! Bye!

·         Good bye!

______________________________________________

·         Ring, ring!

·         Hi, Amara. This is Marcos. What are you doing?

·         I’m making hamburgers. They are for school dinner.

·         Oh no! I forgot school dinner! I’ll make green salad.

·         No; George is making green salad.

·         Why don’t you make a chocolate cake?

·         Good idea! Thank you. Goodbye!

Remember:

What are you doing?(in general)  I’m cooking.

What are you making? (food or crafts) I’m making spaghetti.

What’s César doing? He’s making a cheesecake for school dinner.

We also talked about present simple and present continuous.

                                       (routines, habits)        (now, at the moment)

What does Josh do in his free time?        What’s Josh doing now?

He reads magazines.                                    He’s eating pizza.

He trades cards.                                             He’s sitting on his bed.

Does he listen to CDs?                                 Is he sitting on a chair?

He doesn’t listen to cassettes.                    He isn’t sitting on the carpet.

We did a listening about a cooking TV contest. Colin, the guest (person that was invited) told us how to make spaghetti Bolognese. Although, (but) the result was kind of “Yuk”

He used:

Some spaghetti.                       Did he use any sugar?

An onion                                   No, he didn’t.

Some carrots.                           He didn’t use any potatoes.

Some meat.

A glass of red wine.

Some tomato ketchup.

Some mushrooms.

Some cheese.

Some butter.

Remember to use some and any for plural nouns or uncountable.

Some in affirmative.

Any in negative or questions.

A /an, only for singular nouns. Only one. “An” before vowel sound.

And we finish the class with you telling me what you usually do for dinner.

·           Do you eat with your family?

·           Does your mother usually cook dinner?

·           What time do you usually have dinner?

·           Where do you sit?

·           What do you talk about?

For homework.

Write and tell me again- again? yes, again- about what you do at dinner time. You have the questions above.

But, do it!!!!

Tuesday 18^th February

Hi guys!

You have done homework at last!, but not all of it. Why didn’t you continue reading and did the rest? That’s “Ordering food at the restaurant”.

Player 6 congratulations for your homework! It was excellent! That’s why I gave you three points!

In our class, we went on (continue) talking about food and restaurants.

We reviewed the vocabulary to describe taste and put it into practice by trying different “food”

·         The lemon was sour.

·         The red candy bar was sweet and tender. (You usually use tender for meat)

·         The black liquorice was tough! (It was impossible to eat!)

·         The snacks (“Fritos”) were crisp and spicy.

·         The water was tasteless. (With no taste. Remember “-less” means without)

But we didn’t have any examples of “soggy”. Bread and cookies are soggy when they go “soft” after three or four days. You can also use it to describe pasta and vegetables when you cooked them too much and they are “very soft” and “sticky”!

YUK or YUM?

Did you like your food? Yes, I did. Yum! / No, I didn’t. Yuk!

·         What do you think of spaghetti? Yum!

·         What do you think of vegetables? Yuk!

·         Do you like porridge? No. It’s disgusting! Yuk!

That’s what happened to Joanne. She tried porridge but she didn’t like it. She thinks porridge is awful!

AND NOW, HOMEWORK!

Write about typical food, a typical dish or a dish you like.

These questions will help you with your writing but homework is NOT ONLY answering the questions. You have to write a short paragraph.

·           What dish is it? (The name of the dish)

·           What is it made of? (Ingredients. It’s made from…)

·           How do you make it? (fry / boil / put it in the oven, on the grill…)

·           What does it look like? (What appearance does it have?)

·           How do you serve it? (With sauce, cream, lemon…)

And finally, our games!

A Game!

BFN (Bye For Now)

At the Restaurant.

We continued talking about food and restaurants.

We reviewed how to order food and role-play the dialogue “At a restaurant”

It was ok. You did it well.

There are usually three courses on the menu:

Starters, Main Courses and desserts. And there are also drinks.

-       What are you going to have for starter?

-       I’m going to have prawns for starter.

-       What are you going to have for the main course?

-       I’m going to have steak and chips for the main course.

-       (steak /steik/ meat; not /stɪck/ a hockey stick or a glue stick!)

-       What are you going to have for dessert?

-       I’m going to have strawberry flan for dessert.

-       (for dessert /dɪssert/ not for the Sahara desert /desert/)

-       What would you like to drink?

-       We’re going to have coke.

We did a listening and learnt some adjectives to describe food.

Crisp- spicy- sweet- sour- tasteless-soggy-tough-tender

·         What’s the opposite of soggy?

·         What’s the opposite of crispy?

·         What’s the opposite of tasteless?

·         What’s the opposite of tough?

·         What’s the opposite of sour?

We also corrected your letters. And they are ready to be posted.

Why did only César do homework????

THIS IS HOMEWORK

Make a menu. Include three dishes for Starters, three for Main Courses, three Desserts and Drinks

AND ALSO, ORDER FOOD IN A RESTAURANT. A WHOLE (COMPLETE) MEAL.

Include what you are going to have for starter, main course, dessert and something to drink. You can use “I” or “we”. Because you can go to the restaurant with a friend.

Talking about homework, I’m glad you did it but you must pay attention and do your homework well. You had many mistakes.
