II. INTRODUCTION THE THEME AND EXPECTED RESULTS

T: Look at the blackboard and read the sentences. Is it easy for you to understand them?

  1. My grandson is the apple of my eye.
  2. They made sure the house was in apple-pie order before their parents arrived back home.
  3. If you announce that you're going to drop out of school, your parents will go bananas!
  4. After waiting for an hour, we were told that there were no seats left.

That really took the biscuit!

  1. The English test was a piece of cake!

     T: What is common in all these English idioms?

  • Do you know any Ukrainian idioms connected with food?
  • Do Ukrainian people use the same words denoting food in the idioms? How  can you explain it?

 Today we’ll speak about food for different cultures. At the lesson we’ll have               a discussion about different national food traditions. By the end of the lesson               you’ll be able to express your opinion, give convincing argument and                             discuss it in groups using active vocabulary.

 

III. WARMING UP.

To check your knowledge about the methods of cooking let’s play a game “Recipes”. Work in pairs. Write out instructions for a simple recipe: making a cup of tea, or boiling an egg. Then check that all the participants agree as to the best method – or learn alternative method.

HO1

Give instructions how to

  1. …boil an egg

  3. …make a cup of coffee
  4.    make a salad
  5. …make a fruit salad
  6. …make a soup
  7. …make scrambled eggs
  8. …make an omelette

When the pupils think they have finished, they read their recipes. The others try to find things their classmates have forgotten:

You didn’t say:’put some salt’.

IV. Introducing the necessary information.

Food for Different Cultures

Have you ever stopped to really think about what you and your family eat everyday and why? Have you ever stopped to think what other people eat? In the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, there are two scenes in which the two lead characters are offered meals from a different culture. One meal, meant to break the ice, consisted of insects. The second meal was a lavish banquet that featured such delicacies as roasted beetles, live snakes, eyeball soup, and chilled monkey brains for dessert. Some cultures eat such things as vipers and rattlesnakes, bush rats, dog meat, horsemeat, bats, animal heart, liver, eyes, and insects of all sorts. Sound good?

In their book, Managing- Cultural Differences, Harris and Moran state: The manner in which food is selected, prepared, presented, and eaten often differs by culture. One man's pet is another person's delicacy —dog, anyone? Americans love beef, yet it is forbidden to Hindus, while the forbidden food in [the] Moslem and Jewish cultures is normally pork, eaten extensively by the Chinese and others. In large cosmopolitan cities, restaurants often cater to diverse diets and offer "national" dishes to meet varying cultural tastes. Feeding habits also differ, and the range goes from hands and chopsticks to full sets of cutlery: Even when cultures use a utensil such as a fork, one can distinguish a European from an American by which hand holds the implement. Subcultures, too, can be analyzed from this perspective, such as the executive's dining room, the soldier's mess...or the ladies' tea room, and the vegetarian's restaurant.

Often the differences among cultures in the foods they eat are related to the differences in geography and local resources. People who live near water (the sea. lakes, and rivers) tend to eat more fish and crustaceans. People who live in colder climates tend to eat heavier, fatty foods. However, with the development of a global economy, food boundaries and differences are beginning to dissipate: McDonalds is now on even' continent except Antarctica, and tofu and yogurt are served all over the world.
