When invited to an American home...
Here are a few tips to help you know how to behave at an American dinner. First of all, you should always arrive on time. Even 15 minutes late is impolite! If you are going to be late, call your host or hostess ahead of time. It is also not polite to come early. It is always nice to bring your host or hostess something such as flowers, but it is not necessary.
When in the dining room, don’t take a seat until your host or hostess shows you where to sit. Unfold the napkin that is beside your plate, and put it on your lap. Plates and bowls of food are usually passed from person to person around the table. People serve themselves.
Before eating, someone may say grace, or a prayer. During grace you should bow your head and remain silent. You can start eating when the host or hostess does. In America, it is considered rude to begin eating before everyone has been served.
 Saying grace before a meal. |
Take part in the conversation at the meal, but don’t talk with your mouth full. If someone asks you a question while your mouth is full, finish chewing before you answer the question.
Do not reach in front of someone for a dish, the salt, or the pepper. Simply say, “Please, pass the salt.”
Always compliment the cook by saying, “The meal is delicious/wonderful!” When dinner is over, help clear the dishes off the table. When you are leaving, thank your host or hostess by saying, “Thank you for a nice evening. I enjoyed it very much.”
Americans often send a thank-you note afterwards.

III. Об особенностях американской кухни
You’ll find restaurants for every situation in the US. If you are in a hurry, you may just want to grab some “junk food” at a grocery store or a candy counter, or you can get a bite to eat at one of the many fast food chains, like McDonald’s, Burger King or Kentucky Fried Chicken.
You can get a “hero” or “submarine” sandwich “to go” from a sandwich shop or deli. Some of these places have tables, but many don’t. People eat in their cars or take their food home, to their offices or to parks.
Coffee shops are usually less expensive and less dressy than fine restaurants. So are pizza places, pancake houses, sandwich shops and family restaurants.

IV. Сладкие блюда Англии и Америки
Narrator: Dear children! Do you like to eat cakes, pies, tarts? I’m sure you do. And now let us listen to a funny poem about these tasty things.
I Love You More Than Applesauce
I love you more than applesauce,
Than peaches and a plum,
Than chocolate hearts,
And cherry tarts,
And berry bubble-gum.
I love you more than lemonade,
And seven-layer cake,
Than lollipops
And candy drops
And thick vanilla shake.
I love you more than marzipan,
Than marmalade on toast.
For I love pies,
Of any size,
But I love you the most.

V. Музыкальная пауза
После рассказа и показа изделия звучит песенка “Treat”.
Narrator: Small children are told that any house with a jack-o’-lantern burning in the window is a safe place to go trick-or-treating. The custom of trick-or-treating comes from when children dressed in costumes on All Souls’ Day and went from house to house begging for soul cakes. Children still go begging for treats. And now listen to the song “Treat”.
Treat
Trick-or-treat, Trick-or-treat,
Give us something good to eat.
Give, us something sweet to take.
Give us cookies, fruit and gum,
Hurry up and give us some.
You had better do it quick.
Or we’ll surely play a trick.
Trick-or-treat, trick-or-treat,
Give us something good to eat.

VI. Рассказ об английской еде
Narrator: And now I’d like to tell you about British food.
British Food
In London you’ll find food from all over the world. You’ll find Indian, Italian, French, and Chinese restaurants there.
Many restaurants offer a takeaway service: you order the food and take it away, cooked and ready to eat. The most popular takeaway restaurants are Italian (pizza), American-style hamburger bars and fish and chips shops. More and more, people buy hot food from a “takeaway” and eat it at home. This is quicker than cooking a meal and cheaper than eating in a restaurant. The most common takeaway food in Britain are fish and chips.
Следующий учащийся рассказывает, как приготовить рыбу с картошкой.
Fish and Chips
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon butter, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vinegar.
Fish and chips are a ready-cooked food. You can see how they fry it in the shop. They put fish in batter, made of flour and milk and fry it until the batter is crisp. The British eat fish and chips with salt and vinegar. The most popular fish is cod. This food is relatively cheap.
Chips are pieces of potatoes sliced very thin and fried. There are a lot of flavours: the most popular are cheese, onion, salt, vinegar.
VII. Музыкальная пауза
Учащиеся угощают этим блюдом жюри и зрителей. Затем звучит шуточная песенка.
I Like Bananas
I don’t like your peaches,
They are full of stones,
I like bananas because they have no bones.
Don’t give me tomatoes,
I can’t stand ice-cream cones,
I like bananas because they have no bones.
Во время исполнения песенки жюри определяет победителей. Они награждаются шуточным призом – связкой бананов и тостами с вареньем.
