con B1: Some Recipes

Hi Class,

This is Noel's summary of Monday's class. Today's class, those present told their recipes and I wrote the vocabulary and mainly the pronunciation corrections.

Mariaguti ha dejado un nuevo comentario en su entrada "For Con B1 and Con B2": 

Kate Seley's Csim Blog: For Con B1 Hi Kate! I don't know where I can send you the summary of monday 21, sorry, so here it is:
At first, we did a representation about a restaurant situation, so two students were the waitress, ande the rest of us were the people who came to the restaurant, in groups of 3 and 4, and we need to order the dishes, and to argue about if we want or not the special offer: the two-for-one offer.

After that, we review the recipe vocabulary.

Then, we did a listening about differents recipes, and the ingredients of them. At the end of the class we work in pairs talking about which dishes sound the most delicious, and which the least delicious; which dish we think is the easiest to make, and the hardest; and which repecipies we want to cook.

The homework for the next day, tomorrow, is to search for a recipe and to explain it in class without looking any paper; and after that, publish it in Kate's blog.

Have a nice day!

Monday we will do several conversation games and look at another exercise about the vowels.

AND DON'T FORGET TO POST YOUR RECIPES AS COMMENTS.  Your recipes were SO excellent and varied. I think they will be the best of all the groups!

    Instructions:

    - Salt the chicken and then fry it in a skillet with olive oil and the cloves of garlic.
    - Chop the pineapple, then put it with the chicken pieces in a pot with a little olive oil, the sugar and a dash of pepper. In the same pot pour vinager, sweet wine and white wine.
