Now a lot of people think that is might just be really easy to make, but mine is the top of the the top. So first, I take and I cut up garlic. Garlic is essential. And then I cut some onion and put that all together, and fry it with olive oil. Then basically after that point, it kind of varies. It just depends on whatever vegetables I have around. Usually I put in like green peppers, definitely mushrooms. Mushrooms are a must. And then basically it depends on the time of the year. So, it's summer, and I saute all the vegetables up, and get them to the point where they are just right and then I put oregano in hopefully, the best is if it's fresh. And I hope my dad's not listening because he'll never eat it after this point, but I put in tofu ground beef, so you can really taste it. It tastes like beef, but nobody knows that it’s tofu, just because I don't particularly like raw meat, and you don't really have to cook it, you just warm it up. So I just cook it all together, warm it all together. And then I put in some fresh tomatoes, and then I usually use like a half a can of whatever tomato sauce is on sale, whatever pasta sauce, and then again a little more oregano, and just let it simmer to absorb all the flavor. That's it.
*Method 4:* post-reading; choosing the correct items according to the text.	T: Now, look at the board and choose the correct item according to the text (slide 13): 1. What is "essential"? a) Onions b) Basil c) Garlic 2. What else is a "must"? (slide 14) a) Eggplant b) Mushrooms c) Ham 3. Who is she afraid might hear this? a) Her dad b) Her mom c) Her Italian friend 4. What is her special ingredient? (slide 15) a) Ground beef b) Tofu c) Bacon 5. What else does she add? a) Lots of pepper b) Oregano c) Ginger T: Good!
Stage 8. Writing on "Cooking". *Method:* writing students’ favourite recipes.	T: Tell me, please, do you like spaghetti? What is your favourite dish? Do you know the recipe of your favourite dish? T: Your homework was to make a cook-book. Now your task is to write down one of your favourite recipes into your cook-books (slide 16). You've got 5 minutes for this task. T: Show us your cook-books and read your recipes, please. P1:... P2:... T: Good job!
