You are going to write an online guide recommending healthy eating places for visitors to your town in Kuwait.

Eliza Blues Restaurant

Shawarma House

Kuwait Bay Grill

Palace Café

Eliza Blues Restaurant

is right in the city centre, and overlooks the sea. This family business has a great reputation and the food is completely organic. It’s famous for its enormous fried breakfasts, but if you’re not very hungry, you can just relax with a coffee, a fruit juice or a light snack.

Shawarma House is close to the market. Their speciality is bread with shawarma which you can fill up with your choice of chicken or meat. They do not sell anything else here, and it’s always crammed, especially at lunchtime.

Palace Café is famous for its home-made tomato soup. You can also get nice rolls with goat’s cheese and the salad bar is excellent. If you have dinner here, try their lamb kebabs. Atmospheric setting, near to the park. It’s surprisingly cheap, too.

Kuwait Bay Grill is by the sea. It is my favourite eatery, first of all because the food is delicious. Secondly, because it is very fresh and healthy. Try their grilled fish or steamed vegetables. Even the inside looks like somewhere in nature – there are lots of plants. It’s very calming!

Unit 1 We are what we eat

Student’s Book page Tell the students to write the three headings in their

notebooks and to use a spider diagram to write down their ideas.

(10-15 mins)

a Ask the students to look at the Useful Language box. Then ask them to write one or two sentences about each of their chosen places, using the ideas in their notes and the Useful Language box. Go round and make suggestions where necessary.

b Tell the students to check their sentences carefully and to add more details if necessary. Go round the class and make further corrections if required. Then ask them to write a second draft of their ‘guides’. Tell the students to exchange guides with a partner, if possible somebody different than usual. Encourage them to discuss each other’s guides.

Giving a short talk

(5 mins)

Ask students to study the menu. Check they know all the vocabulary, then put them in pairs to tell each other what they would choose. Go round as a ‘waiter / waitress’ and take their orders!

Unit 1 We are what we eat

Giving a short talk

a As you read this notice from a Kuwaiti magazine, make brief notes under these headings:

◗ The pros and cons of a vegetarian menu

◗ Interesting ways to advertise your meal

◗ Interesting ideas for healthy and vegetarian fast food

b Compare your ideas with those of two other students. Discuss these things:

◗ The advantages and disadvantages of a vegetarian menu. Think about how your menu can supplement a vegetarian diet.

◗ The best advertising for a new menu. Think about the names, descriptions and packaging for your menu.

Continue planning your talk in groups of three.

a Each of you should prepare one topic – vegetarianism, advertising and fast food. Prepare a talk on your topic lasting one minute. Use the ideas you have discussed and the expressions from the Useful Language box.

b Now give your talk to your own group first.

USEFUL LANGUAGE

Introducing oneself

Good morning / afternoon. My name is ..., this is ... and we’re here to talk about ...

Expressing personal opinions

In my opinion, the menu should include … I think the food should be high in protein. I (really) don’t think the packaging should be too dark …

Expressing uncertainty

I’m not sure about the amount of fat. Maybe there should be special menus for vegetarians.

It’s difficult to say how much the advertising will cost.

Asking questions to an audience

Are there any questions? Please ask any questions you’d like to.

Here’s what we have in mind …

◗ Following a vegetarian lifestyle

irresponsibly can lead to malnutrition and health problems. Many vegetarians lack the RDA of iron, proteins, calcium and vitamin B12.

◗ We’re looking for wholesome and original ideas.

◗ You probably already eat a lot of vegetarian food. Vegetable soups and salads are an important part of any diet.

◗ We want a menu that appeals to everyone: from non-vegetarians to health food fanatics!

Record your ideas on video, CD or audio tape and send them to us at PO Box 1330.

We’re adding a brand new vegetarian menu to our restaurant and we need your ideas now!!!

Student’s Book page

a (5-10 mins)

Read out the notice and check that students know all the vocabulary.

Point students’ attention to the three headings, and ask for a few suggestions for each one. Encourage brief discussions (e.g. can a vegetarian menu appeal to non- vegetarians...?). Allow time for them to read the notice again, then tell them to note down their ideas, using the three headings.

b (10 mins)

Put the students in groups of three and tell them to explain their ideas about pros and cons, advertising and fast food.

(20 mins)

a Tell the students to decide who will talk about pros and cons, advertising and fast food respectively. Tell the students that each person’s talk should last about one minute, and allow time for them to plan what to say. Remind them to look at the Useful

Language box before they start. While they are working, go around and offer suggestions where needed.

b Tell the groups to listen to each other’s talks (one person in each group should time them) and encourage them to make constructive comments. Put the groups together to make groups of six. Tell the students to give their talks again, to the wider audience.

Finally, ask two or three students to recommend a fellow students’ talk – and ask those students to give their talks to the class.
