Hello, there! How are
you doing!
Do you like cooking ?
Are you a good cook? If so, perhaps
you have a passion for food, don´t you? Or you need to cook for your basic necessities, I would say.
The most important is to do what you
really like. Some people don´t like to cook but they like to taste food, and
they are really happy for that. :-)
Important note: A recipe is a set of instructions that describes how to prepare or make something, especially a culinary dish.(wikipedia)
Now, I´ll talk about a project that Keyle did with her students from 8th semester about some recipes. This is about a lesson from the book and talks about preparing meals.She said it was an excellent project because
they studied about this subject in class, learned new vocabulary and after some studies,they presented the dish and explained
how to prepare it, the ingredients for each dish, the use of imperative in recipes
and so on. This way, all students spoke clearly and enjoyed teaching each other. At last, they also had a snack time.I would say that dynamic classes can be really important and this is an example.
Like listening to music,
watching films and reading books, a passion for cooking is a great way for
learners to improve their English vocabulary. Not only does it help you with
your reading skills (recipes), but it also helps you improve your listening
skills especially if you enjoy watching cooking programmes.
So, whenever is
possible, let´s learn by fun!
