Classi terze: SALA/CUCINA - HACCP in the Catering Industry

Look at the following pictures and describe them.

Here are my  tips for describing a photo or a picture in English
Do:
    • Look at your picture carefully and take a few moments to think before you start talking.
    • Talk for all the time you are given. If you have one minute to do the task, use every second.
    • Practise the useful language below so you can explain which part of the picture you are talking about.
Don’t:
    • Panic if you don’t know the words for all the things in the picture. You don’t need to know all the words for everything in the picture if you know what to say when you don't know an exact word.  
    • Get distracted and start talking about something else. Focus on the photo or picture.
    • Panic if your mind goes blank ( se non ti ricordi nulla). Take a deep breath, look at the picture and start again. 
Here is some language you can use:
What is in the picture?
In the picture I can see ...
There’s / There are ...
There isn’t a ... / There aren’t any ...
Say what is happening with the present continuous
The man is ...ing
The cooks are...ing
The waiting staff is...ing
The people are ...ing

Where in the picture?
At the top/bottom of the picture ...
In the middle of the picture ...
On the left/right of the picture ...
next to
in front of
behind
near
on top of
under
Make predictions
It looks like a ...
It might be a ...
He could be ...ing
Maybe it’s a ..




Do you think people in the pictures are respecting hygiene rules? Why? Why not?What do you usually do when you handle food?



Now watch THIS VIDEO and explain what are the most important steps to safeguard food handling and preparation.

 After watching the video, can you explain in a few words what HACCP is? You can get a little help from the following lesson plan.

Speaking: slow food or fast food

SLOW FOOD or FAST FOOD? What do you stand for? The fat,  tasty a n d cheap meal or the fine dining and expensive one?  This simple and straightforward question throws into crisis my students most of the times.They're often undecided about it even though I always try to make up their minds and push them towards healthy, traditional, clean and fresh food...though it's a tough job! At least we can discuss a little bit about the issue! Let's go flipped! Look at the following pictures : What different situations do they show? In your personal opinion, what are the main differences between fast food and slow food? Which one do you prefer? Why? How often do you eat at fast foods? What do you usually eat at fast foods? Have you ever eaten at fine dining restaurants ? If yes, how was your experience? What is the story and philosophy of the “ Slow Food” movement? Want to find out more? You can
