Class one
In class one we will focus on speaking part 3 (the monologue). We will begin by completing the fact sheets on page 32 with the vocabulary in exercise 2. We will put this vocabulary into practice by discussing ‘task card 1’ on page 33. We will then listen to a student completing this task like in the exam, taking notes on the speaker’s main points, as well as the phrases used to link ideas together.
We will then work in pairs to complete the task cards in 5a and 5b on page 33. Students will have some time to note down their ideas and useful linking phrases before completing the speaking task.

Write an essay summarising and evaluating the key points from both texts. Use your own words throughout as far as possible and include your own ideas in your answers.
| Our Relationship with FoodThe British relationship with food has undergone a fundamental change over the past 50 years, and in quite a contradictory fashion. Meals were once made up of simple, local ingredients using recipes that had been followed by previous generations. Now food has become a sensory and cultural phenomenon. Food production and catering is a multi-million pound industry. Top chefs show us how to cook the most delicious 3-course meals and supermarkets provide all the ingredients we need. Yet at the same time, we are less willing to spend time cooking than was once the case and instead spend huge amounts on take-aways and ready-meals. |
| The Ready-Meal IndustryLatest figures show that the UK ready-meal industry is experiencing continued growth despite the recent economic downturn. And the reason for this success? Time-poor consumers continue to want exotic, convenient, mealtime solutions whilst at the same time being cautious about over-spending on take-aways and trips to the restaurant. And the future looks even brighter for this industry with innovative and niche sectors opening up to cater for as wide a range of tastes as possible. And which meals are we eating? Italian remains the favourite cuisine closely followed by Indian and Chinese. |
