Step 1 Revision

1 Check the homework the students did during the winter vacation.

2 Have the students talk about their holidays using the language they know. Have them especially talk about the food they ate, even though there might not be an English word for some of the food. Say During the holidays in England, people eat special food too. Let‘s play a game.

3 Game: In groups, students write down the English names of as many different kinds of food as they can within three minutes. They can use their books and dictionaries if they want. See which group can make the biggest list.

4 Ask individual students What’s your favourite food?

Step 2 Presentation

Draw a picture of a cupboard with salt, pepper, oil, sugar, etc. on the Bb. Ask What‘s in this cupboard? Then ask What is in your cupboard at home?

Draw a picture of a table. Ask What is on your table at home during dinner? Draw pictures or stick pictures, or use the colour pictures on page i of the Students’ Book to teach the new vocabulary for this lesson.

Step 3 Look, learn and answer

Note: Kitchens in England and the United States typically have many cupboards on the wall. Usually people keep their dishes, glasses, bowls, etc. in them. They will also put their staple foods such as canned foods, noodles, potato chips (crisps), sweets, etc. in them.

SB Page 1, Part 1. In pairs, get the students to look at the picture on page i. Have them ask and answer questions as in the model. If necessary, remind them of the usage of countable and uncountable noun. Do Wb Lesson 57, Ex. 1.

Step 4 Presentation

Present this dialogue:

A: / eat a lot of pork.

B: Oh, I don‘t. I eat a lot of chicken.

A: So do I.

Explain that / eat a lot of pork means / often eat pork. So do I means / eat a lot of chicken, too. Practise the dialogue with the students, then get them to work in pairs.

Step 5 Learn and discuss

SB Page 1, Part 2. Collect more food words and put them into the table on page i. Discuss the question with several students to give some examples. Then get the students to work in pairs. Call out some of them to demonstrate their conversations. Do Wb, Lesson 57, Ex. 2.

Step 6 Puzzle dialogues

SB Page 1, Part 3. Pairwork. Check the answers as a class. The answers are ID; 2C; 3A; 4B. In small groups, have the students role-play as if they are at a dinner. One student is the host / hostess, the other students are the guests. Have them practise using the expressions in the dialogues. Also encourage them to speak freely as they would at a dinner. Walk around and give help where needed. Encourage the students to use more expressions if they like.

Step 7 Workbook

Wb Lesson 57, Ex. 3 can be used to reinforce the practice in Part 3 on page 1.

Homework

Have the students go home and make a list of some of the things in their kitchens. If the students live on campus, have them make a list of the things they can remember that are in their families’ kitchens.
