Today, on the 6th of January, we are going to learn more about catering (=food and restaurant service) from our Student Book, File One
:

Dear students,
This is what you have to do at home before going to the English class on the 13th of January:

Do the exercises in your notebooks (not on the Forum):
(1-pabraukti teisingą variantą; 2 - įrašyti į sakinius būsimojo laiko formas: shall (abejonė), will (neplanuota), going to (planuota); 3- parašyti tinkamus skliaustuose esančių veiksmažodžių laikus; 4-pabraukti nederantį pagal prasmę prie grupės žodį; 5 - įrašyti šeimos ryšius nusakančius žodžius; 6 - įrašyti tinkamus būdvardžius (shy [šai] - drovus; sensitive - jautrus; spoilt - išlepintas; confident - pasitikintis savimi); 7 - atrasti lentelės žodžiams žodžius su tuo pačiu garsu; 8-pabraukti kirčiuotą skiemenį)




Write the answers to the questions (Student's book File 1, page 6) on the Forum :

My answers:
1. What was your favourite food when you were a child?
My favourite food was bananas , white salad and cake Napoleon.
Bananas were very rare in these days and often they were sold green. I remember waiting impatiently until they turn yellow and we could eat them!
White salad and cake Napoleon were usually made by my grand mother who was a very good cook. I havenever tasted a better cake Napoleon than my grandma's!
2. Is there abything that you like/ don't like cooking?
I like cooking soups, stews and making curd dumplings, I don't like cooking anything that needs precise and careful work, like cake Napoleon, for example.
3. In your country, when poeple eat out, do they usually tell the chef what they really think about food?
I think we will all agree that it would be very unusual and impolite to make comments loudly on food in a restaurant in Lithuania. I think Lithuanian chefs usually don't meet their costumers, they stay in the kitchen.

1. What was your favorite food when you were a child?
My favorite food was white bread with butter and sugar on it. I remember how my mother had made it to me. It was a very delicious food.

2. Is there anything that you like/ don't like cooking?
I like cooking different types of cakes, stews and making mashed vegetable soup, I don't like cooking meat for other people, because I always don't put enough salt or pepper on it. I prefer the different taste of it then other people on (in, of)my family

3. In your country, when people eat out, do they usually tell the chef what they really think about food?
It's hard to answer. In some restaurants, you can say your opinion about food, but I think it's impolite to say it loudly if other customers hear it.

I have remembered that I promissed you to post a video about differences in American and British English.
So there it is:

British=American
crisps = potato chips
aubergine = eggplant
tomato [tomAto] = tomato [tomEIto]
beetroot (neturi 's' daugiskaitoje) = beets
herb [Herb] = herb [Erb]
bazil [bAzil] = bazil [bEIzil]
coriander = cilantro
porridge = oatmeal
treacle = molasses (tirštas sirupas)
ice lolly = popsicle (vaisiniai ledai ant pagaliuko)
sweets = candy, candies
biscuit = cookie
jam = jam/jelly (džemas, uogienė)
jelly = jello (želė)
candy floss = cotton candy (cukraus vata)
mincemeat = ground/ minced pork, beef, fruit, nuts ... (malta mėsa, riešutai, vaisiai...)

1.When I was a child I loved a french toast.
I could ate=eat (valgyti) it every day.
2.I like to cook,bet=but to cook for someone and should be in a good mood.
Recently my favorite dish is chicken Indian and I like to cook sushi.
3.You can express your opinion to the shef=chef about hes =his dishes if they are impossible to eat.

Cooks who like to cook for others are the best!

1. When I was a child I liked whait=white bread with jam and milk. Then I loved oranges and sweets /Gaideliai/, but they rarely came and we needed to stand in long rows=queues [kjuz] to buy them.
2. I like or don't like cooking, but I cook for my family everyday and different foods.
3. I can't answer that question.

Gaideliai are biscuits [biskits] Sweets - saldainiai.
a row is a line of seats in the theater or the cinema (kėdžių eilė)
a queue or a line is a line of people (žmonių eilė)

1. My faworite (=v) food was porridge of grouts when I were a child.
2. I like cooking dumplings.
3. I don't tell the chef what I think about the food.
4. I don't know anyone who is a' difficult customer in restaurants.

Jurate's answers:
1. I think tin Lithuania an average working person earns about 400 to 600 euros a month without taxes.
2. There were some instances (atvejai) in the past when I took a loan (paskola) from a bank. It was when I learned driving and only recently got a job.
I also have a 100 euros credit on my bank card and very rarely, when I spend all the money, I use it.
3. I can afford to lead (vesti, išlaikyti) a basic healthy lifestyle because I live in a small town and own a garden. I can afford to go to the gym trice a week, I can afford to eat organic vegetables from my garden, I can afford time to go for a walk daily and admire the nature.
I think many people in big cities can't afford that or it is very expensive.

I've never done that, but in the future, I think I'll have to owe money for a home purchase.

3. Can you afford to exercise and eat organic food daily?
Yes, I can because my parents have their own garden and I get some healthy vegetables and fruit. I can afford to go to the gym trice a week. I can afford the time to go for a long-distance hike, as this weekend I was in Grūžiai and I did a 22 km hike distance.

4. Do you keep your savings in a bank or have you invested it somewhere?
I've never invested anywhere, all my savings are in a bank. Sometimes I took some money for my special needs, like spontaneous shopping

the middle child is sociable, affectionate and relaxed;
the youngest is outgoing, spoiled and rebellious.
an only child is independant, selfish and mature.
