10. Reading and speaking

Now I’m sure that you are very good cooks and can give a helping hand to my English friend. When she came to Ukraine she liked Ukrainian borsch very much and she wrote down the recipe. However, she made a lot of mistakes and when she cooked it the dish was really terrible. Let’s help her together and correct the mistakes in the recipe on the blackboard (the recipe was covered up to this minute).

1 To make borsch you need some meat, potatoes, greens, fruit and vegetables.

2 First, wash meat, put it in fizzy water and boil broth

3 Then, peel potatoes and cut into pyramids.

4. After that, take some cabbage and fry into strips

5. Heat the frying pan and fry chopped carrots, beets, onion, tomatoes, and Bulgarian cucumbers and put them into the pot.

6. Add some greens, salt and pepper and serve with raspberry jam.

12. Checking-up homework. Role-playing.

Now we have set three tables. Each team has prepared a short scene  "At the Restaurant". You should look, listen to the dialogues and say what the problem is. Let’s look at the acting of the first team. The task for the second team is to understand the dialogue and say why the customer was not happy at the restaurant. (див. додаток)

I want to thank all the actors. Your acting was wonderful.

Now I want to ask the teams to find the names of different  tasty dishes in the crossword puzzle. (there are 12 of them). Write them down on the sheet of paper or simply circle them in the crossword puzzle.

You have only 2 minutes. What team will find more than others?  (the teacher prepares the copies of the task beforehand. One or two  for each team. )

14. Evaluation.

Now the competition is over. I want to thank everybody for your taking active part in the lesson. Let’s count the points and congratulate the winners.
