in an open syllable are usually pronounced in the same way as in the ABC and they are shortened in closed
syllables.

Activity : One Question Survey
Duration: 1020 min
Aim:
Summary: Each student receives a different question, and conducts a survey of their classmates.
Speaking and listening practice
Procedure
This activity can be introduced with a demonstration. Explain that each person will receive a different
question. Then choose one question and ask it to 3 or 4 students, writing their names and answers on the
blackboard. Afterwards, calculate your statistics and present a report to the class: "I surveyed 3 people on
the topic of spicy food and I found that 67% enjoy spicy food while the remaining 33% do not."
Explain that the students should try to interview as many classmates as possible, until you tell them to stop.
Make it clear that they should write the names and answers on a piece of paper.
Distribute one question to each student. After they have spoken to people nearby, encourage them to leave
their seats and find more people to interview.
After 1015 minutes, ask students to return to their seats and calculate their results. Then get them to form
groups (of about four students) and report their results.
Finally, select some students to report to the class. Since everybody has a different question, this can
continue for quite a long time if you wish it to. Also, you can encourage class discussion on the more
interesting questions and results.

6.2. Continental Breakfast and English Breakfast
As a general trend, traditional breakfasts are less substantial and less elaborate in the warmer,
more southern countries bordering the Mediterranean, while breakfasts are traditionally larger, with a
greater variety of dishes and greater prevalence of hot dishes in the cooler northern- and centralEuropean countries.
An institutional meal plan based on lighter Mediterranean breakfast traditions and served in
hotels world-wide is known as a European "Continental breakfast". It is a light snack meant to tide
one over until lunch. It consists mainly of coffee and milk (often mixed as Cappuccino or latte) with a
variety of sweet cakes such as brioche and pastries such as croissant, often with a sweet jam, cream, or
chocolate filling. It is often served with juice.
The typical German breakfast consists of bread rolls or toast with butter, honey, jam, ham or
sausage, a soft-boiled egg, and coffee. However, cereals have become popular, and regional variation is
significant.
A typical breakfast in Denmark, similar to its southern neighbor Germany, consists of bread
rolls or toast with butter and Danish slicing cheese, a buttery creamy white cheese, fruit jam, and a lot
of coffee. A bigger and fancier spread might also include cold cuts (cold, thin-sliced ham, salami), softboiled eggs, muesli and sweet rolls of all types.
A traditional Dutch breakfast consists of a combination of poached eggs, bacon, sausage,
breakfast cake, and cold sliced meat such as smoked horse or smoked beef.
In Eastern European countries with cold climates, such as Russia, breakfasts tend to be
substantial. Zavtrak may consist of hot oatmeal, eggs, cheese, cured meats or sausage, rye breads with
butter, and coffee or tea. Yoghurt or, especially in central and eastern Europe, kefir may be consumed.
In some Balkan countries such as Serbia, savory pastries are consumed with yogurt.
In France a typical domestic breakfast will consist of bowls (rather than cups or mugs) of
coffee, often caf au lait, or hot chocolate with slices of baguette spread with jam - to be dunked.
Croissants are also traditional.
In Northern Greece a pastry is eaten with Greek coffee.
In Italy breakfast is simply Caff e latte with bread or rolls, butter, and jam. It is very common
for Italians to have a quick breakfast snack during the morning (typically a bread roll).
36 |
A distinctive breakfast of Europe is the Spanish early-morning fare of a doughnut covered in

sugar, and very thick, sweet hot chocolate drink.
A full English breakfast, or traditional fry-up, is a traditional breakfast meal in England.
While weekday breakfasts in England often consist of a brief meal of cereal and/or toast, the fry-up is
commonly eaten in a leisurely fashion on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Whether the fry-up is
accompanied by orange juice and usually an abundant supply of tea or coffee, or only bacon, eggs, and
toast, it is regarded as a ritual comfort and a wholly satisfying start to a day of work or leisure.
The ingredients of a fry-up vary according to region and taste. At its heart, the meal it consists
of bacon and eggs, but to earn the title of a "Full English" a number of other ingredients are expected.
The bacon and eggs are traditionally fried, but grilled bacon and poached or scrambled eggs may be
offered as alternatives. Some of the additional ingredients that might be offered as part of a Full
English breakfast include:
toast, fried bread, or bread and butter
sausages
fried, grilled or tinned tomatoes
mushrooms
black pudding

kidneys
possibly saut potatoes, chips, hash browns or bubble and squeak
condiments such as ketchup and brown sauce
Fry-ups are no longer an everyday occurrence in most English households, but they are offered to
tourists as traditional fare in hotels, guest houses and cafs, and occupy an important place in the
English concept of the morning meal. In British hotels and bed and breakfast establishments, a Full
English breakfast might include additional courses such as cereal, porridge, kippers, toast and jam or
37 |
marmalade, kedgeree, or devilled kidneys. Fruit juice and dry cereal were added to the English
breakfast after 1950. The term "Full English" is used to differentiate between the larger multiple course
breakfast, and the simpler "continental breakfast" of tea, coffee and fruit juice, with croissants or
pastries. Coffee at breakfast is a Continental tradition introduced through hotel fare.
Common beverages at breakfast worldwide include fruit juices (orange juice, apple juice, grapefruit
juice, etc.), milk, tea, and coffee. Cultures around the world commonly shun or restrict alcoholic
beverages at breakfast.
PRACTICE 1. Answer the following questions:
1) What specific features of Continental breakfast can you name?

2) What were the reasons for Continental breakfast being lighter than English
breakfast?
3) What specific features of English breakfast can you name?
4) What were the reasons for English breakfast to become more substantial than
Continental?
5) Is the full English breakfast served in English families daily? Why?
6) Would you prefer English breakfast to Continental one? Why?

6.3. Past Simple Tense
We use the Past Simple Tense to indicate past time events. We know the time of the event.
E.g. yesterday, last month/ year/ summer, in 1980, on holidays, at Christmas etc.
Study this example:

My grandfathers neighbor was a famous cook. He lived from 1922 to 1992. He opened his
first restaurant at the age of seventeen. He had five famous Italian restaurants when he was forty.
Lived/opened/had/was are all Past Simple.
Very often the Past Simple ends in -ed (regular verbs): We invited them to our party but
they decided not to come. But many verbs are irregular when the Past Simple verb does not end in
-ed.
For example:
have had - He had five famous Italian
restaurants. see - saw - We saw Rose in town a
few days ago.
go went - I went to the cinema three times last
week. shut shut - It was cold, so I shut the window.

A.: Did you go out last night?
B: Yes, I went to the cinema but I didn't enjoy the film much.
The past of be (am/is/are) is was/were.

PRACTICE 4. In groups read the texts A-C and summarize the information given. Be ready to present your
groups text to your friends.
A. Second breakfast
Second breakfast is a meal eaten after breakfast, but before lunch. It is traditional in Germany, more
specifically Bavaria, where special dishes are made only to be eaten during second breakfast. It is typical to
eat four to five meals a day in these locations. The second breakfast is typically a lighter meal or snack eaten
around 10:30 in the morning. It consists of coffee, pastries, or some sausages. The sausage is prepared during
the early morning to serve during the second breakfast. It is served with brazen, sweet mustard, and wheat
beer.
B. Elevenses
In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, elevenses is a snack that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in
the morning. It is generally less savoury than brunch, and might consist of some cake or biscuits with a cup of
tea or coffee. In Australia, it is called morning tea (often little lunch in primary school). The name refers to the
time of day that it is taken: around 11 am. The word "elevenses" is seen as a little old fashioned, and few
people still refer to morning tea as such.
C. Brunch
Brunch is a late morning meal between breakfast and lunch, as a replacement to both meals, usually eaten
when one rises too late to eat breakfast, or as a specially-planned meal. The term is a portmanteau of breakfast
and lunch. It originated in the USA, unlike Tiffin. Brunch can be served after a morning event or prior to an
afternoon one, such as a wedding or sporting event. It is usually a more relaxed meal than breakfast or lunch,
and considered appropriate for informal celebrations. Some restaurants and hotels serve brunch, especially on
weekends and holidays. Such brunches are often serve-yourself buffets, but menu-ordered meals may be
available instead of, or with, the buffet. The meal usually involves standard breakfast foods such as eggs,
pancakes, sausages, bacon, ham, fruits, pastries, and the like. However, it can include almost any other type of
food served throughout the day. Buffets may have large roasts of meat or poultry, cold seafood like shrimp
and smoked fish, salads, soups, vegetable dishes, many types of breadstuffs, and desserts of all sorts. The dim
sum brunch is a popular meal in Chinese restaurants world-wide. It consists of a wide variety of stuffed boa
(buns), dumplings, and other savory or sweet food items which have been steamed, deep-fried, or baked.
Customers select what they want from passing carts, as the kitchen continuously produces and sends out more
freshly prepared dishes.
45 |
7. LUNCH AND TIFFIN
7.1. Lunch
Lunch is a meal that is taken at noon or in the early afternoon. The term is short for "luncheon". Lunch is a
newer word for what was once invariably called "dinner," a word nowadays only sometimes used to mean a
noontime meal in the British Isles, and in parts of the United States, Canada and Australia. In parts of India
a light lunch is known as tiffin. Lunch food varies. In some places, one eats similar things both at lunch and
at supper - a hot meal, sometimes with more than one course. In other places, lunch is the 26
main meal of the day, supper being a smaller cold meal. German and Scandinavian lunch mostly is large and
cooked (as opposed to, say, a sandwich).
Lunch
from
Karnataka
served on a plantain leaf.
7.2. Tiffin
Tiffin is an Indian and British English dialect word meaning a light meal eaten during the day. The word
became popular in British India, deriving from tiffing, an old English dialect or slang word for taking a little
drink or sip.
In modern day India, the word mostly is used for light lunches prepared for working Indian men by
their wives after they have left for work, and forwarded to them by Dabbawalas (people who carry boxes)
who use a complex system to get thousands of tiffin-boxes to their destinations. The lunches are packed in
tin boxes, also sometimes called tiffins or tiffin-boxes. A common approach is to put rice in one box, dal in
another and yet other items in the third or fourth. The other items could be breads, such as naan, vegetable
curry and finally a sweet. In Chinese cultures, the stacked porcelain or metal round trays with handles are
called tiffin carriers. People also refer to cups of tea as "a cup of tiffin".
PRACTICE 1. Answer the following questions:

46 |
1) What is Tiffin?
2) Where is the difference between lunch and Tiffin?
3) How can you explain the flowing: Dabbawala, Tiffin, Tiffin-boxes, a cup of Tiffin?
PRACTICE 2. Complete each sentence with one of the endings.

4) These vegetables are very tasty
d) but was afraid of making a scene.
5) I wouldn't eat those strawberries if I were you
e) if you had put more garlic in it.
6) Please put some more water in my tea
f) but it was as tough as old boots.
7) "If there is one thing I don't like,
g) as there's been yet another increase in

prices.
8) The sauce would be more tasty
h) is keeping it in a fridge.
9) We must leave now.
i) than a glass of ice-cold fruit juice.
10)My father decided to leave the waiter a big tip j) consists of some eggs and several rashers of

n) that it completely put us off our food.
15) A traditional English breakfast

47 |
7.3. Future Simple Tense.
Future Simple is used to describe future actions and events. We use I'll (- I will) when we decide to do
something at the time of speaking. E.g.: Oh, I've left the door open. I'll go and shut it. What would you like
to drink? Ill have an orange juice, please.'
In spoken English the negative of will is usually won't (- will not. E.g.: I can see you're busy, so I won't stay
long.
We often use will in these situations:
Offering to do something: That bag looks heavy. Ill help you with it.
Agreeing to do something: A: You know that book I lent you. Can I have it back if you've finished
with it? B: Of course. I'll give it to you this afternoon.
Promising to do something: Thanks for lending me the money. I'll pay you back on Friday. I won't
tell anyone what happened. I promise.
Asking somebody to do something (Will you..-?) Will you please be quiet? I'm trying to concentrate.
Will you shut the door, please?
Shall I...? Shall we...?
Shall is used mostly in the questions shall I...? / shall we...?
We use shall I...? / shall we...? to ask somebody's opinion (especially in offers or suggestions)- Shall I
open the window? Where shall we go this evening?
We often use will ('ll) with:
probably
I'll probably be home late this evening.
expect
I haven't seen Carol today. I expect she'll phone this evening.
(I'm) sure
Don't worry about the exam. I'm sure you'll pass.
(I) think
Do you think Sarah will like the present we bought her?
(I) don't think
I don't think the exam will be very difficult.
I wonder
I wonder what will happen.

48 |
I shall... / we shall...
Normally we use shall only with I and we. You can say I shall or I will (I'll), we shall or
we will (we'll): I shall be tired this evening, (or I will be...}. We shall probably go to Scotland
for our holiday, (or We will probably go...) In spoken English we normally use I'll and we'll:
We'll probably go to Scotland.
The negative of shall is shall not or shan't: I shan't be here tomorrow, (or 1 won't be...)
Do not use shall with he/she/it/you/they: She will be very angry, (not 'she shall be')
