17. Making it Happen
In a Fishbowl discussion, students seated inside the “fishbowl”
actively participate in a discussion by asking questions and
sharing their opinions.
while students standing outside listen carefully to the ideas
presented. Students take turns in these roles, so that they
practice being both contributors and listeners in a group
discussion.
This could be an excellent Pre-writing activity

25. Reading comprehension passage
A Lunch in Thailand
When you are invited to a meal in Thailand, the words of the invitation literally mean ‘come and
eat rice’. Indeed, nearly all Thai dishes are eaten with rice, which grows there very easily as the
climate is warm and there is plenty of rain.
The food is always served in neatly cut up pieces, so there is no need to use knives and
forks but, instead, special spoons and forks are used. The Thais used to eat with their hands and
there are still some people who eat this way. There is a particular way of doing it. First they
wash their right hand in a bowl of water - they only eat with their right hand. They are careful
not to let the food touch the palm of their hand. After the meal, the hand is again carefully
washed.
The meal is usually made up of several different dishes, all of which are spicy. They are served in
bowls which everyone shares, though each person has their own bowl of rice. As Thailand has a
long coastline, it is not surprising that fish and shellfish play an important part in Thai cooking.
