One of the important problems language instructors face is the teaching of a foreign culture. The Internet is an excellent way to approach the issue due to following reasons:

The texts are written for native speakers and not adapted to the students' level.

____ The host serves himself first and then he serves his guests.

You will compare your list with the rest of the class later on.Part 3: For next week, choose one of the recipes you can find on the following page. For this purpose, go to the "most recent recipes" section. Click on one. Read it carefully and look up any words you may not know. Cook it at home. Then, bring it to class so that we can know whether you are a good cook or not!
