Unit 3 We are what we eat

Reading;

Values

Culture note Human beings are known to have practised entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, for thousands of years. While entomophagy is rarely practised in North America and Europe, it is common to some cultures in Central and South America, Africa, Asia and New Zealand. It is thought that 80% of the world’s nations eat insects and the UN has registered 1,900 different insect species that are considered edible.

WE ARE WhAT W E EAT

UNIT 3

re ? f th e fu tu o d o fo r e th e s u p

The number of people in the world is growing fast – every year there are about 70 million more people. So, we’ve got two questions that need answers: Have we got enough space on our planet for so many people? and How can we make sure they’ve all got enough food to live?

Many people eat too much meat – steaks, beef burgers, sausages, etc.

That’s not good for us and we need big farms to produce all that meat. The farms already use 30% of all the world’s land: they create greenhouse gases and use a lot of water and energy.

However, we can do something to help. We can eat meat only one or two days a week, for example, and eat more vegetables – that’s healthy.

We can also eat some different types of meat – creepy-crawlies! That’s right, grasshoppers, worms, flies and lots of other insects. They’re the superfood of the future. They’ve got a lot of protein. Protein is very important for our health, and it’s good for our hair and our skin.

Do note that there are some taboos relating to certain insects within different cultures. For example. scorpions are considered haram in Islam, but locusts are halal.

6

rawlies

Protein keeps our muscles and bones in good condition, too.

There are two more reasons why insects are good food options: insect farms don’t need so much water and energy. Also, they don’t use so much space.

For some people in countries in Asia and Latin America, eating insects is not unusual. But for people in Europe and many other countries, it seems very strange.

What about you? Do you eat any healthy food? How much meat do you eat in a week? Perhaps you think you don’t eat insects? But maybe you’re wrong! Why’s that? Because the red food colouring that is in many things that we eat comes from … an insect called the ‘cochineal beetle’!

GRAMMAR Countable and uncountable nouns 3 Read the sentences.

1 Can I have a carrot?

2 I don’t like rice.

2 Elicit model phrases for students to use: Do you like carrots? Yes, I do. No, I don’t. When students have finished, elicit and tally answers on the board.

3 I don’t like peppers.

Choose the correct words in the rule.

RULE: Nouns that you can count (one carrot, two carrots, etc.) are 1countable / uncountable nouns.

Nouns you cannot count are 2countable / uncountable nouns. They have no plural forms.

Workbook p30

4 Look at the photos in Exercise 1. Which are countable and which are uncountable?

Add three more things to the lists.

3 Highlight that countable nouns can be counted and have plural forms while uncountable nouns can’t be counted and don’t have plural forms.

RULE: 1 countable 2 uncountable

a/an, some, any 5 Complete the sentences with a/an, some and any.

Then choose the correct words in the rule.

1 A Would you like coffee?

B No, thanks. I’ve got tea.

2 Can I have apple or banana?

3 Have biscuits.

4 Are there peppers in the kitchen?

5 There isn’t yogurt in the fridge.

4 Check comprehension by pointing to the picture of carrots and asking, Is this countable or uncountable? (countable) Countable: tacos, carrots, peppers, beans, omelette Uncountable: cake, yogurt, chilli con carne, coffee, salad 5 Highlight that we only use the indefinite article before singular countable nouns. Check that students have put an before apple in number 2 and check that they are clear on the rule that an is used instead of a before a noun which begins with a vowel sound.

We can eat lots of creepy‒crawlies.

RULE: We usually use (how) much and (how) many in questions and negative sentences.

Use many with plural 1 nouns and much with 2 nouns.

Use a lot of / lots of with both countable and uncountable 3 .

6 any

7 Students study the eight examples and work out the rules. Highlight that many is used with countable nouns and much with uncountable nouns.

RULE: 1 countable 2 uncountable 3 nouns

Language notes Countable and uncountable nouns Some uncountable nouns may be used as countable nouns to refer to a serving.

For example, I’ll have a coffee and two teas, please. There is no need to introduce these points at this level, but students may have queries about this.

a/an, some, any a is used before singular nouns beginning with a consonant sound and an before singular nouns beginning with a vowel sound. Practise the sound with the students, highlighting how the n sound is natural.

how much / how many, a lot of / lots of It is possible to use many in positive sentences, particularly in written contexts.

Since a lot of / lots of is much more frequently used in spoken English, the rule has been simplified to avoid overcomplication at this level.

PRODUCE Imagine Matt Silver is writing about what you eat.

What is healthy or unhealthy about your food? What do you eat too much / not enough of? Write Matt’s paragraph.

EATING

around the world Part I: The Inuits Hello, I’m Matt Silver, and this is an article from our new series ‘Eating around the world’.

I’m writing this from Kulusuk, an Inuit village in Greenland.

It’s a pleasant place in summer, with mild temperatures and fantastic views of the icebergs on the sea just in front of the village.

Matt

It’s a popular place for tourists in those months. But winters are long and hard, and the life for the 250 people in the village isn’t easy at all. The roads are covered in ice, and the sea is frozen, too.

The Inuits don’t have a lot of choices for food. The summer is too short and not long enough for the Inuits to grow vegetables. They sometimes find berries during the warmer months. And they eat seaweed. But there are no other vegetables, so they don’t eat enough greens. There is a shop in the village, but during the winter it doesn’t get any fresh vegetables.

This is why the Inuits eat lots of raw and boiled meat. They eat sea animals – seals, whales and fish – and they eat reindeer and other land animals. These animals have a lot of fat on them because it keeps them warm in the freezing temperatures. Do the Inuits eat too much fat? Isn’t that very dangerous?

5 This task can be set as homework or done in class.

• Described what they eat too much of.

1 Hello, I’m Matt Silver and today I’m d 2 Amanda has lots of choices 3 There are many good 4 Amanda tries to eat 5 She likes fruit 6 She sometimes eats meat, 7 Amanda loves fish, 8 There is only one little problem with Amanda’s food choices;

4 Students copy this into their notebooks so that they have a correct record of the target phrases, sentences and, crucially, how they are used.

• Described what is healthy or unhealthy about their food.

Match the sentence halves and read Matt Silver’s paragraph about what 15‒year‒old Amanda eats.

3.08 Read and listen to the article and answer the questions.

1 Why is the writer staying in an Inuit village?

2 What other food apart from meat can the people find there?

3 What is the problem with growing vegetables there?

4 What is surprising about the Inuits’ health situation?

3.08 1 To write a magazine article for a series called Eating around the World 2 Berries and seaweed 3 The summers aren’t long enough for vegetables to grow.

4 They are quite healthy despite eating lots of fat.

3 1d 2g 3a 7e 8f

WRITING

34

Well, here’s the surprise: in the western world, people say ‘Don’t eat too much fat!’ But the Inuits eat a lot of animal fat and they are healthy, perhaps because they eat boiled rather than fried meat. Life for the people from Kulusuk can be difficult but they are healthy. Maybe we can learn a lot from them!

Culture note Greenland is a semi-autonomous country of the Kingdom of Denmark. It lies between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is the world’s largest island and has a population of approximately 55,000, 89% of whom are Inuit.

The Inuit are a group of culturally similar indigenous people who live in the arctic regions of North America and Greenland. It is thought that the majority of the Greenlandic Inuit descended from the Canadian Inuit who started populating the island in the 13th century.

Unit 4 All in the family Culture note Home Alone was directed by Chris Columbus in 1990, and starred Macaulay Culkin as Kevin. In the film, eight-year-old Kevin’s family are going to Paris for the holidays. On the day of their flight, they wake up late and, in the resulting confusion, leave Kevin at home.

The Incredibles is a 2004 Oscarwinning animated feature film directed by Brad Bird which was followed by a sequel in 2018.

Incredibles 2 was also nominated for an Oscar, but didn’t win. Bird hasn’t ruled out the possibility of developing a third instalment.

The Addams Family films are based on a series of cartoons about an unusual family by American artist Charles Addams. The cartoons appeared in The New Yorker magazine from 1938 to 1988. It was first adapted as a TV series from 1966 to 1968, then as a trilogy of liveaction films in 1991, 1993 and 1998.

OLD FILMS, GREAT FAMILIES

ALL IN ThE fA M I LY

UNIT 4

I love old films and my family loves them, too. My mum and dad always talk about a really old film called Swiss Family Robinson, also a book, about a Swiss family who find themselves on a desert island when their boat sinks. And do you know what? I like it, too. So guys – here’s today’s topic. Old films about families. So you know my opinion, what about yours?

3 comments reply to post

How about the Home Alone films in the 1990s, all about 8-year-old Kevin McCallister? The first one is definitely the best. Kevin’s parents forget to take him on the family Christmas holiday. Kevin is happy at first because he’s got the whole house to himself and his brothers and sisters aren’t there to annoy him. He has lots of fun stopping two silly criminals from robbing the family home. But he starts to miss his family and on Christmas morning he gets the best present of all – everyone comes back home! It was funny then and it’s still funny now.

Emma, Brighton

Whose favourite family is the Parrs in The Incredibles? Remember them? The Parrs are like most families. You know, they fight and argue and have fun. But they’re also a family of superheroes. Dad is super strong. Mum is super stretchy. Violet, their eldest child, can turn invisible, and then nobody can see her. Her younger brother Dash is super fast and her baby brother Jack-Jack has laser eyes. I think those films are great, old or not.

Max, Birmingham

I like your comments, Max and Emma. And here is mine. The Addams Family! They’re a really strange family who live in a normal town. They all wear black. They live in a huge old house. Other families think they’re a little bit scary, but the Addams family don’t care. The parents, Gomez and Morticia, and their children, Wednesday and Pugsley, are happy being different. And there’s Cousin It, too. He (or she – no one is sure) is covered in fur. And finally there is Uncle Fester, Gomez’s brother. They’re one of the best loved screen families of all time – in my house, anyway!

Students speak to as many other students as they can, making notes of the families described.

Elicit suggestions for the best film family, and get the class to agree on their choice.

Homework Ask students to draw a family tree for their chosen film family and label it with information. In class, form pairs of students to describe different families. Ask them to describe their family tree to their partners, who should use the information to try and draw the same tree. Finally, get them to compare their pictures for any differences.

Language note Possessive forms We use possessive adjectives before the noun they refer to. We only use possessive pronouns on their own, without a noun. Note that this is the only case where the two forms are identical: This is his bag. This bag is his.

We also use possessive pronouns to give examples of a particular group of people. Note the use of the preposition of: John is a friend of mine. Is Clara a cousin of yours?

The possessive ’s form can be used both before a noun, and on its own: That’s Ann’s bike. This is my bike, and that’s Ann’s.

SUZIE MUM HER MUM SAVES HER SUZIE SAVES One day Suzie McCash went shopping with her mum in Tynemouth, England. Suzie was four years old. Her mum didn’t feel very well at the shops, so they went home.

4.05 Focus on the title as well as the photos when eliciting predictions from students. Accept all ideas at this stage.

A four-year-old girl’s mother had a medical emergency, and the child phoned the emergency services to call for help.

In the house, Suzie’s mum went to lie on the sofa. She was there for a long time. Her eyes were shut and it wasn’t easy for her to breathe. Suzie was worried. Was her mum really ill? Suzie went to the house next door, but the neighbours weren’t there. So she phoned 999 – the emergency telephone number for the police.

The police officer was very kind and Suzie was calm.

OFFICER: SUZIE: OFFICER: SUZIE:

‘What’s your mummy doing now?’

‘Um, she’s just sitting on the sofa and she’s doing nothing.’

‘Are her eyes open?'

‘No, they’re shut.’

And later…

OFFICER: ‘Can you open the door? Can you be a big girl?’

2 Ask students to underline the part of the text that gives information about each event.

This will help them decide on the correct order.

1 c 2 e 3 a 4 d 5 b (d is not in the article, but it should be part of an emergency call) 3

Soon the police were at their house and an ambulance was there, too. About an hour later, Suzie’s mum was OK again. A doctor said: ‘Her mummy was very sick. Without Suzie’s phone call, her mummy might be dead now.’

Suzie’s story was in the newspapers and people were surprised and happy about it.

She was a very brave girl and, a year later, she was in the news again because she was named a Child of Courage at the Pride of Britain Awards for helping her mother.

Explain that students will not find the answers in the text word for word, but that there is enough information for them to work out who may have said each thing.

Do the first one together as a class to demonstrate.

2 Read the article again. Put the sentences in the correct order. There is one event that is not in the article.

Where do you think it goes? a Suzie phones the police. b The ambulance arrives. c They come home from the shops. d The police officer asks Suzie where she lives. e Suzie’s mum lies down on the sofa.

4 Give pairs time to brainstorm ideas and to write down their sentences. Monitor progress, and help with language or if they are stuck for ideas.

5 Ask pairs to take turns to read the others their sentences. To increase speaking time, you could form groups from four different pairs – giving students twice as many sentences to discuss.

4.05 Look at the title. What do you think happened? Read and listen to the article and find out.

Making inferences 3 Work in pairs. Who says these sentences? Mark them S (Suzie), P (police officer) or M (Mum).

1 ‘It’s open.’

2 ‘Is she injured?’

3 ‘She’s so amazing.’

4 ‘How can I help?’

Language note was / were The past of to be is was and were. We use was with I, he, she and it, and were with we, you and they.

Like the present of be we make the negative by adding not after the verb (this is often contracted to make wasn’t and weren’t). Questions are formed by placing the verb before the subject. Note that with was and were, students don’t use did as an auxiliary verb.

Activity idea A feeling for every situation Put students in pairs. Ask students to describe a situation to their partner in which one of the adjectives for feelings could be used, without saying the adjective. Their partner then has to guess the correct adjective.

Ask students to look at the title and elicit what we mean by a tradition (something done for a long, long time by a group of people). Get students to watch the video and ask: What kind of celebrations and traditions does the video mention? (lantern parades, eating grapes at New Year’s Eve, wearing white to the beach, eating or cooking a special meal, gardening). Then ask: Why do we have these traditions? (to learn about the past, to connect people)

FAMILY TRADITIONS around the world

The idea of the family is important all over the world and many countries have special occasions to celebrate it. Let’s look at a few …

FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL – GERMANY In Germany, the first day at school is a very important time for all children. There is a special event called an Einschulung. Everyone in the family meets to give the child presents, like pens and books, for their new school life. For the first day of school, parents give their children a large paper cone called a Schultüte. Inside there are things for school and sweets.

In most cultures around the world, the most significant life events are celebrated by families. Celebrations common to cultures worldwide usually include: births, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and funerals.

There are also many celebrations connected to religious ceremonies, important historical events, or certain days of the annual calendar – but not all people celebrate these.

B

REMEMBERING YOUR ANCESTORS – JAPAN In traditional Japanese houses you often find a butsudan.

A butsudan is a special place where you go to remember your dead relatives. People usually put things on the butsudan for their ancestors: a book, some flowers or a bowl of rice, for example. Adults also tell stories about these people to their children so they are not forgotten.

LOOKING AFTER ANIMALS – INDIA Pets are popular in many cultures around the world.

Looking after an animal helps a child learn how to be responsible. Every year in India there is a Hindu festival called Thai Pongal. During the festival families feed cows and birds to give thanks for these animals.

Children also learn that all living things are connected and must share the world together.

The Federal Republic of Germany is a country in Central and Western Europe, the largest in the European Union, with a population of over 80 million. Its capital is Berlin.

C

WRITING POEMS – THE NETHERLANDS

Japan is a country in East Asia, lying on a chain of islands off the coast of the Asian continent. It has a population of more than 125 million.

Its capital is Tokyo, one of the largest metropolitan centres in the world.

The Netherlands is a country located in the northwest of Europe. It has a population of 17 million. Its capital is Amsterdam, but the seat of government is in The Hague.

The country is often colloquially referred to as Holland, which is the name of one of its regions.

3 What family traditions are there in your country?

Culture notes Family celebrations

India is one of the largest and most populous countries in the world, lying on the Indian subcontinent in the south of Asia. Its population is estimated at around 1.5 billion.

In the Netherlands people celebrate the winter holiday on the 5th December. This holiday is called Sinterklaas. People give each other presents, but they also have a very special tradition. Each member of the family writes their name on a piece of paper and puts it in a hat. Everyone then takes a name from the hat and writes a poem about this person.

Everyone sits in a circle and reads out their poems.

Ask students to describe the photos in their own words. Accept any suggestions, no matter how far-fetched. Ask: Do you have similar traditions in your country?
