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 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?

Speaking : talking about food waste

READ THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT... "Wasting food means wasting money in a big way both at the household level and in busineses throughout the supply chain.

Yet the economic, social and environmental implications of this enormous food loss and waste is staggering, continues to grow and represents a real threat. Awareness about food waste goes to the heart of being a more conscious consumer.

The global food system has profound implications for the environment and producing more food than is consumed only exacerbates the pressures; overfishing, for example, contributes to declining numbers of fish (some 30 per cent of marine fish stocks are now considered over-exploited).
