What are you Making for School Dinner?

Monday 24^th February

Hello again!

Well, homework was more or less OK. If you take it a bit more seriously, it’ll be perfect by the end of the course! You had improved a lot!

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

First, you told me about your dishes.

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, María. It’s Nacho. 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, Almudena. This is Manuel. 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; Nacho 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 María doing? She’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?

Don’t forget to choose a topic to write and to talk about, later, in class. For homework.

You suggested talking about “La Voz” or the “Eurovision contest”. It can be different from these topics. You can choose anything!

But, do it!!!!
