英語表現演習4 (土 2限): Food & drink preferences・飲食の好き嫌い

Hello!

How are you? Today let's look at food and drink preferences (飲食の好き嫌い)!

Look at the picture above. It's a model of the ALDH2 protein. This contains an enzyme (酵素) that is responsible for the absorption (吸収) of alcohol. The lack of a mutation (突然変異) in this gene is the reason most East Asian people get drunk from alcohol so easily.  

Activity/homework 
Look at the pictures below. Each one of these items have things in them that can give you a certain feeling or reaction. Talk about them!

So - how do you feel, or what effect do you feel, when you have some…

Milk

Chocolate

Natto

Beer

Have fun with this! See you!

英語表現演習1 (金 3・4限): Names of fish in English for sushi・寿司魚の英名

Hello!

How are you? Today we'll begin our view of aquaculture, plus look further at oceanography, with one of the most basic things we find in our oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers - the fish for sushi! 

Before we begin, however, let's look at our board notes from our classes on 6/14:

Now let's look at fish for sushi!

Activity

Look at the picture above - then look at the same picture below. Can you go through and match the name in English of the fish to the number?

These are the names of the fish in English: 

      sea eel               tuna               squid               salmon roe       

           

fatty tuna              sea urchin              tuna roll               shrimp 

Now - don't go to your dictionary! Try this: Matching the names in English to the right number in the picture with these hints:  

1. This has lots of fish eggs, from a fish with the same name in both English and Japanese. 

2. Has a very short name in Japanese; in English it has two parts to the name, and the second part means "naughty child." 
3. As the name suggests in English, it curls up in a spiral in itself. 
4. As the name also suggests in English, it's an "overweight" fish.  
5. This is a common fish in other countries as well; Americans make sandwiches with it! 
6. This also can be found in rivers; it's long, and makes for a good one to eat in summer. 
7. The name for this in English is also a slang word for something small. 
8. This one is slippery and comes in many varieties - including one that squirts out black ink!

Discussion circles

Here are the questions for the leaders for our discussion circles.

Leader questions

For the summarizer:

Are you ready to summarize the reading/CD talk? (Can you give us your summary of the reading/CD talk?)

For the details master:

1. When did fish farming first develop?

2. Which continent produces the majority of fish farming?

3. Around what precentage of fish comes from farms?

4. Name four examples of fish that are commonly produced.

(Leaders: Think of 1-2 more details to ask the details master!)

For the vocabulary master:

What are hormones?

What are antibiotics?

What is feed?

What is cage farming?

(Leaders: Think of 1-2 more words to ask the vocabulary master!)

I hope this helps you with your understanding of this topic.

Have fun! See you next time!
