Today, we are going to explore Unit 3 Diverse Cultures, specifically the Listening and Speaking part. As we all know, the world is a big place with people from all corners, each bringing their unique cultures. And one aspect of culture that we all love and are very familiar with is food. Different cultures have their own signature dishes, and today we are going to focus on how diverse cultures have influenced American food. So, let's get started! First, take a look at the four pictures on the screen. They are pictures of some well - known American foods. Can anyone tell me what they are? Raise your hands. Student 1: The first one is a hamburger, the second looks like nachos, the third is a fortune cookie, and the last one, I'm not sure, but it might be some kind of soup. Teacher: Very good! That's almost correct. The last one is called gumbo, a spicy stew. Now, let's play a little guessing game. I want you to think about which countries' cuisines might have influenced the invention of these foods. For example, for the hamburger, some might say it has something to do with Germany. Why do you think so? Student 2: Because there is a place in Germany called Hamburg, and maybe the name of the hamburger comes from there. Teacher: Exactly! You are very smart. Now, let's move on to nachos. Which country do you think might have influenced this dish? Student 3: I think it might be Mexico because it has a very Mexican - sounding name, and the picture shows corn chips and cheese, which are common in Mexican food. Teacher: Great reasoning! And for fortune cookies? Student 4: China, because it has the word “fortune” in it, and we often associate good fortunes with Chinese culture. Teacher: Well, that's a common thought, but actually, fortune cookies are not from China. We'll find out more about it later. And for gumbo? Student 5: Maybe African countries, because it's a spicy stew, and African food is known for being spicy. Teacher: That's a good guess. Gumbo has a very interesting origin story that involves multiple cultures. Now, let's listen to a radio interview about American food. While listening, pay attention to whether your guesses about the origins of these foods are correct. (The teacher plays the recording of the interview) Interviewer: Today our guest is Steve Fox. He’s here to talk about cultural influences on American food. Welcome, Steve! Steve: Thank you. It’s nice to be here. Interviewer: When it comes to American food, some say no food was ever invented in America. What do you think? Steve: Hmm... That’s not really true. For example, some say the hamburger comes from Hamburg in Germany, but they’re wrong. The recipe for the meat in a hamburger may have come from Germany, but the final hamburger we know today was definitely created by Americans. Interviewer: You mean there was a mixing of cultures? Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States. Steve: Right. And there are many more examples of mixed - culture dishes. Like nachos, for example. Interviewer: Oh, I just love nachos! Mexican corn chips covered in cheese? Steve: Yes, they’re delicious, but they’re not traditional Mexican food. The recipe was actually invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers. Then there are fortune cookies. Interviewer: What do you mean? Steve: They’re not Chinese. Interviewer: You’re kidding! But every Chinese restaurant in America has them! Steve: Yes, but they’re unknown in China. About 100 years ago, someone in San Francisco put a piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a Japanese - style cookie, and the fortune cookie was born! Interviewer: So they’re like a mix of the Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. Steve: You got it. And then we have gumbo, the spicy stew. It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago, and mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking. Interviewer: So it's the food of many different cultures, all in one dish? Steve: Exactly. American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new. Teacher: Okay, class. Now let's check whether your guesses were correct. For the hamburger, as we heard, although the meat recipe might have come from Germany, the modern - day hamburger was created by Americans. So, it's a mix of German and American cultures. What about nachos? Student 6: It was invented by a Mexican cook for American customers, so it's a mix of Mexican and American cultures. Teacher: Correct! And fortune cookies? Student 7: They were invented in San Francisco about 100 years ago. A piece of paper with a fortune was put inside a Japanese - style cookie. So, it's a mix of Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. Teacher: Perfect! And gumbo? Student 8: It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago and mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking. Teacher: Great job, everyone! Now, let's listen to the interview again. This time, I want you to decide whether the following statements are true or false. I will show the statements on the screen. (The teacher shows the statements on the screen: No food was ever invented in America. Hamburgers were invented in Germany. Nachos were invented for Americans by a foreigner. Every Chinese restaurant in America has fortune cookies. American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.) (The teacher plays the recording again) Teacher: Let's go through the statements one by one. For the first statement, “No food was ever invented in America.” What do you think? True or false? Student 9: False. We heard that hamburgers, nachos, fortune cookies, and gumbo were all invented in America, although they were influenced by other cultures. Teacher: Right! And the second statement, “Hamburgers were invented in Germany.” Student 10: False. The meat recipe might have come from Germany, but the final hamburger was created by Americans. Teacher: Correct. Third statement, “Nachos were invented for Americans by a foreigner.” Student 11: True. A Mexican cook invented nachos for his American customers. Teacher: Good. Fourth statement, “Every Chinese restaurant in America has fortune cookies.” Student 12: True. The interview said so. Teacher: Yes. And the last statement, “American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.” Student 13: True. That's what Steve said about gumbo and other dishes. Teacher: Excellent! You all did a great job. Now, let's listen to the interview one more time. This time, we are going to take some notes. I will show you a table on the screen. You need to complete the notes about the names of the food, their origins, and other important information. (The teacher shows the table on the screen with columns for “Names of food”, “Notes” which includes details like the cultures it mixes, who invented it for whom, when and where it was invented etc.) (The teacher plays the recording for the third time) Teacher: Let's start filling in the table. For hamburger, what should we write in the “Notes” column? Student 14: Mix of German + American cultures. Teacher: Right. Now, for nachos. Student 15: Mexican corn chips covered in cheese made by a Mexican cook for American customers. Teacher: Perfect. And fortune cookies? Student 16: Invented in San Francisco about 100 years ago. A piece of paper with a fortune on it inside a cookie. It's a mix of Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. Teacher: Great. And gumbo? Student 17: Spicy stew invented in New Orleans about 200 years ago. Mixes French, African, Native American, and Spanish cooking. Teacher: Well done, everyone! Now, let's think about this. Why do you think American food has so many cultural influences? Discuss in pairs for a few minutes and then we'll share our ideas. (Students discuss in pairs) Teacher: Okay, let's hear some of your thoughts. Student 18: America is a country of immigrants. People from all over the world went there and brought their food cultures with them. So, over time, these cultures mixed and created new American foods. Teacher: That's a very good point. America has a long history of immigration. When people from different countries settled in America, they brought their traditional foods and cooking methods. And as they interacted with each other, new dishes were created. Any other ideas? Student 19: Maybe because Americans are open to trying new things. They like to experiment with different ingredients and cooking styles from other cultures and make them their own. Teacher: That's also true. The American spirit of exploration and trying new things has definitely contributed to the diverse food culture. Now, let's move on to the speaking part. Imagine you are invited to a potluck dinner at an American friend's house. A potluck dinner is a meal where each person brings a different dish to share. I want you to work in pairs and discuss what special dish you will take. You can consider the following questions: What food from which area or ethnic group will you bring? How is the food prepared and what is it made of? How is this food special? (Students work in pairs and start discussing) Teacher: Okay, let's hear from some pairs. Which pair would like to share their ideas first? Pair 1: We want to bring dumplings. They are a traditional Chinese food. We make them by wrapping minced meat or vegetables inside dough. They are special because they are a symbol of good luck and family reunion in Chinese culture. And they are very delicious. Teacher: That sounds great! Dumplings are a wonderful choice. Another pair? Pair 2: We are thinking of bringing sushi, which is from Japan. We make it by putting raw fish or other ingredients on top of vinegared rice. Sushi is special because it's a very healthy and delicate food. It also shows the Japanese attention to detail in cooking. Teacher: Excellent! Sushi is always a hit at parties. As we can see, just like American food is a blend of different cultures, the food we choose to bring to a potluck dinner can also represent the rich diversity of our own cultures. Before we end this class, let's summarize what we have learned today. We learned about the origins of some American foods like hamburgers, nachos, fortune cookies, and gumbo. We found out that American food is a result of the mixing of various cultures due to immigration and the open - minded nature of Americans. And we also practiced speaking about different foods we could bring to a potluck dinner. For homework, I want you to do some research on another American food and write a short paragraph about its origin and the cultures that influenced it. You can also look up a recipe of a traditional food from your own culture and be ready to share it in the next class. That's all for today. Class is dismissed. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
