LESSON PROCEDURE
I.
INTRODUCTION
1)
Greeting and aiming
T:
Good morning, children! I’m glad to see you!
We’ve got a lot of guests today at our
lesson – greet our guests, please. Right now you are going to watch two
flash videos and after that you’ll tell me what is the topic of our today’s
lesson
S1: I think, we’ll talk about Ukrainian and British cuisine traditions.
T: You’ve hit exactly the bull's eye– and you can see the topic of our
today’s lesson on the screen.
S1: Ukrainian people are more
hospitable
S2: Ukrainian cuisine is much
richer than British, and it is considered to be one of the richest cuisines in
the world
S3: Modern British cuisine is
a mix of traditional cuisine which has been influenced by a lot of world
cuisine because of a great amount of immigrants who have moved to the country
and they brought their own food traditions with them
S4: British cuisine is
characterized by what they call ‘plain food’ which means that the British
prefer eating simple dishes – chops, beef steaks and so on
S5: Ukrainian main dishes
mainly consist of meat (often pork) while British ones contain a lot of fish.
It can be easily explained by the fact that Ukraine is situated on a continent
and has developed agriculture while Britain is an island surrounded by the sea.
2). Reporting the objectives of the lesson
T:So, dear students, let me
introduce the topic of our today’s lesson and its objectives. As S1 has already
said, the topic of the lesson is “Ukrainian and British cuisine”. And today
we’ll;
·
revise your vocabulary on the topic;
·
practise telling your favourite recipes from
traditional British and Ukrainian cuisine;
·
watch videos and talk about traditional Ukrainian and
British restaurants;
·
practise saying English proverbs about food and matching them to their Ukrainian
equivalents;
·
practise in performing exam tasks;
·
create the conception of your own national restaurant.
So you’ll develop speaking skills, practice reading for specific
information, practice and develop listening skills.
T: And the motto of our todays lesson is:‘So many countries, so many customs’
2) Warm up (3 minutes)
Ukrainian dishes:
Borsch – a savory
red-coloured soup which ingredients are beetroot, minced beet, carrots,
potatoes and other vegetables. It always garnished with sour cream. It’s eaten
with pampushky with garlic.
Varenyky – dumplings filled
with potatoes cabbage, potatoes, mushrooms, etc.…
Holubtsi - cabbage rolls
stuffed with rice, vegetables and minced meat and stewed slowly in the oven.
Deruny– Pancakes made of
grated potato and flour and fried; served with sour cream
Salo– pork fat which is
rubbed with spices. It is usually served in slices and eaten with black bread
and garlic. No mention about Ukrainian food is possible without that dish.
British
dishes:
Haggis – this dish has an
ancient Scottish origin. It is made of liver and lungs of a ship which is mixed,
spiced and placed inside the ship stomach.
Full English breakfast– this meal is a
traditional substantial morning meal; it consists of fried eggs, fried
tomatoes, bacon and fried bread.
Fish and chips – this dish is
traditionally cooked from sea fish, often cod or salmon and deeply fried
potatoes.
Christmas pudding – this is a
traditional Christmas cake made of flour, eggs, raisins, currant, chopped
almonds and a good measure of
brandy.
Tea – it’s a hot
traditional drink which English people like. When they have it at 5 p.m. they

T: Thank you very much, Mr.
Chook. You can take off you apron and take your seat with your group.
II.
MAIN PART
1)
Checking homework.
T: So you see
the students have presented their restaurants with different cuisines.
And I hope you all liked them. Personally I am amazed by the variety of traditional regional dishes of both Great Britain and Ukraine. But tell me, where we can find all of them?
And I hope you all liked them. Personally I am amazed by the variety of traditional regional dishes of both Great Britain and Ukraine. But tell me, where we can find all of them?
Possible
answers
S1: In
people’s kitchens/homes
S2: In
restaurants and cafes.
T: That’s
right, and now we’ll get to know about some of the oldest and most famous
London restaurants. And besides, we’ll practise in performing exams tasks.
1) Group work with proverbs
Working with proverbs. The
group is divided into two parts – ‘British’ and ‘Ukrainians’. Each group gets
its own task. (Appendix 2) ‘British’ get English proverbs about food which have
been cut in halves. Their task is to match the halves. When a student does it,
he cries out loudly a word combination (adjective+food noun) instead of
‘Bingo!’ e.g. ‘Spicy pork! ‘or ‘Fresh pineapple!’ and goes to the board holding
the proverb in hands. The members of “Ukrainians’ team look for Ukrainian
equivalents of the proverbs and those who do it cry out the password too and
join their groupmates with the corresponding proverb at the board. Then they
read the proverbs aloud in pairs. Each pair who has answered sit at the same
desk, the second one-to the other desk. By this they make mixed
Ukrainian-British groups for the next task .
|
a) over the spilt
milk
b) into the fire
c) his own broth
d) than roast meat
abroad
e) is buttered on
both sides
f) better than none
g) spoil the broth
(soup)
h) lessen your meals

Keys: 1c, 2d, 3g, 4b, 5h,
6e, 7a, 8f
Match to the Ukrainian equivalent:
1. Краще їсти хліб з водою, ніж жити чужиною.2d
2. З вогню та в полум’я.4b
3. Пропала корова – пропади і теля.7a
4. З посту не мерзнуть, а від обжерства дохнуть.5h
5.У семи господинь хата не метена.3g
6.Кожен кухар свою юшку хвалить. 1c
7. Як сир у маслі катається.6e
8. На безриб’ї і рак - риба.8f
2)
Project work
T: You have worked
well and now you have the last task. But I am not going to give it to you – I
know a person who can do it. So, be attentive and watch the video.
Students watch the video with
the task for the project work. It is
filmed by the senior students of our school T: Thus you have the task to create
the concept of the traditional Ukrainian-British restaurant. You have to come
up with the idea of the name of the restaurant, its menu and the center dish
with its short description. And the team, whose ideas will be the best, gets
the highest marks and the special prize from Miss Gardner.
The students work out and
present the name of the restaurant, the menu and the center dish.(Appendix 3).

Now, let’s listen to the
dialogue between the interviewer and George. Do the task ( true or false).
-
George, why did you decide to open a
restaurant in Argentina?
-
I’d always wanted to have my own
restaurant and it would have been very expensive to do that in England.
-
What kind of food do you serve?
-
Mainly international dishes like
pasta. Steak and fries, risotto – but we also do several English dishes as
well.
-
Were Argentinian people surprised
when they heard that an English chef was going to open a restaurant here?
-
Yes, they were – very! I think people
do not usually expect the English to be good cooks.
-
Is your chef English?
-
No, he is Argentinian – but I have
taught him to make some English dishes.
-
What kind of English dishes do you
have on your menu?
-
Well, we are open in the morning, and
we serve traditional English breakfast, and then we have a lot of English
desserts at lunchtime, for example, trifle – that is typical English dessert
made with fruit and cake and cream. And we do proper English teas in the
afternoon – tea with cakes and sandwiches.
-
Are the English dishes popular?
-
Yes, especially the desserts and
cakes. I think people here in Argentina have a very sweet tooth.
-
And finally is there any English food
that you really miss here?
-
The thing I miss most living in
Argentina is English cheese. I really miss Stilton – which is a wonderful
English blue cheese. It is not as famous as some of the French cheese like
Roquefort but I think it should be. You should try it.
-
I will try! Thank you for the interview.
-
Welcome to the restaurant!

The Story of
McDonalds
In 1937 the
McDonalds brothers, Dick and Mack, opened a little drive-in restaurant in Pasadena , California
In 1945 they had 20
waiters and all the teenagers in towns ate hamburgers at McDonald’s.
In 1948 they
already got paper boxes and bags for the hamburgers. They put the price down
from 30 cents to 15 cents. They cut the menu down from 25 things to 9. There
are no more waiters – it is self-service. So it is cheaper and faster. And they
have windows all around the kitchen – so everyone can see it’s clean. Parents
started bringing their children to the restaurant. Poor families ate at
McDonald’s for the first time.
The idea of simple
, fast, but tasty food appeared to be successful, and in the 1960s the
McDonald’s company opens hundreds of
restaurants all over the States. In the 1970s they opened restaurants abroad:
in Japan , Germany and Australia
At present the
McDonald’s company opens a new restaurant every 8 hours! There are more than
30,000 restaurants in over 90 countries. The largest restaurant is in Beijing in China
and the smallest in Ginza, Tokyo Fairbank , Alaska and the southernmost is in Gibson , New Zealand
McDonald’s
restaurants serve almost the same food in every country. But in Italy they serve beer, in Norway the McLak (salmon burger) and in the Netherlands

9. There are more than 3,000
restaurants in over 90 countries.
British
Cuisine
The British like what
they call good plain food. They must be able to recognize what are eating. Usually they like roast turkey,
roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips. Afternoon tea is taken at
about 5 o’clock , but it can hardly be called a meal. It is a cup of tea and
cake or biscuits. At the weekends afternoon tea is a special occasion. Friends
and visitors are often invited to have a chat over a cup of tea. Dinner is the
most substantial meal of the day. It is usually eaten at 7 o’clock. The first
course may be soup ( though the English don’t like it very much). The main
course will often be fish or meat, perhaps the traditional beef steak of old
England, and a lot of vegetables. The next course will be something sweet and
often cooked, such as a fruit pie. Last of all there may be cheese, often with
biscuits. It is common knowledge that the English are very fond of tea. They
like to have ‘a nice cup of tea’ 6 or 8 times a day, sometimes even more. On
Christmas Day a Christmas pudding is traditionally cooked for dinner. It is
usually followed by roast turkey. Long before Christmas housewives begin to
plan what cake to make for Christmas. Usually they make fantastic Christmas
cakes.
American
Food
What is American food? Hamburgers and hot dogs? Fried chicken and giant steaks? Well, yes.
But spaghetti and sour pork. The fact is that Americans eat every kind of food
imaginable. There are , for example, more than 1,000 Chinese restaurants in New
York city alone. As the same time, people in the States still like to think of
some kinds of food as especially American. They like idea of the American
family sitting around the table eating turkey at Thanksgiving. They like to
think of ‘Mom’ as the best cook in the world, even if their own mother never
did much cooking. The truth is, though, that families in the US eat together
less often than they used to. Instead of meeting at the dinner table, families
often meet in the kitchen, around the refrigerator. There’s no time for
old-fashioned cooking. Quick snacks all through the day have taken its place.
And to save trouble, people eat wherever they like, in the streets, in front of
the TV, or at their desks. An enormous fast-food industry gives hungry American
the snacks they want when they want them. Ice cream, popcorn, and hot dogs are
on sale everywhere. Best known , perhaps, is the McDonalds hamburger business.
But if more and more Americans eat fast food, more and more Americans also
worry about it. Fast food makes you fat, and Americans are the fattest people
in the world. Being fat , in fact, can cause real problems for an American. If
you want to do well, you must be thin.
Fast
Food
Fast food is food that can be
prepared and served very quickly. The term “fast food” was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam –
Webster in 1951. Outlets may be stands or kiosks which provide shelter or
seating or fast food restaurants. Restaurants where customers sit are fast casual restaurants. A burger and fries
is the most popular meal bought in the USA. In
fact, Americans buy almost 5 billion burgers a year. This popularity has
spread around the world with the growth of international fast food restaurants
chains. But mind: fast food is dangerous food. Don’t eat it very often!

made with fruit and cake and cream. And we do proper English teas in the
afternoon – tea with cakes and sandwiches.
-
Are the English dishes popular?
-
Yes, especially the desserts and
cakes. I think people here in Argentina have a very sweet tooth.
-
And finally is there any English food
that you really miss here?
-
The thing I miss most living in
Argentina is English cheese. I really miss Stilton – which is a wonderful
English blue cheese. It is not as famous as some of the French cheese like
Roquefort but I think it should be. You should try it.
-
I will try! Thank you for the
interview.

Now, let’s read the dialogue
between the interviewer and George. Do the task ( true or false).
-
George, why did you decide to open a
restaurant in Argentina?
-
I’d always wanted to have my own
restaurant and it would have been very expensive to do that in England.
-
What kind of food do you serve?
-
Mainly international dishes like
pasta. Steak and fries, risotto – but we also do several English dishes as
well.
-
Were Argentinian people surprised
when they heard that an English chef was going to open a restaurant here?
-
Yes, they were – very! I think people
do not usually expect the English to be good cooks.
-
Is your chef English?
-
No, he is Argentinian – but I have
taught him to make some English dishes.
-
What kind of English dishes do you
have on your menu?
-
Well, we are open in the morning, and
we serve traditional English breakfast, and then we have a lot of English
desserts at lunchtime, for example, trifle – that is typical English dessert
made with fruit and cake and cream. And we do proper English teas in the
afternoon – tea with cakes and sandwiches.
