Poles have a more loving attitude to food than here in the UK

I have no idea what this is about. Only that Rav is a Jewish name and they don't usually eat an English breakfast. Although the boy in the photo looks Indian. 🤷‍♂️

Look you eat such crap and then you came over here trying to argue about food.
About food, mon amie you know nothing even less than Jon snow knows about snow.
By the way, I chose mon amie because my friend is too friendly. If you don't know what I mean you have to live with to lol!

Also short for Ravinder, a Sikh name, and Ravindra, a Hindu name.

Not that everyone Jewish or Sikh or Hindu is religious or follows dietary laws.

Plus there are sausages that are acceptable to any religion; Linda Macartney vegan are actually nicer than they sound.

Actually, it isn`t so much about nationalities and their cuisines. It concerns nomenclature aka vocabulary. Those authors mixed up certain notions which are logically different.

Remember, pancakes can be a meal, and a very nice one. Some people have them for breakfast.

Ha!!! You are slowly comprehending the nature of the problem. Better late than never. :):):) Tell us more about it.

It's not a problem at all, and I wondered long ago if that was what confused you.

You said it's for 6th graders, whatever that is. Can you think of a reason that a book for their level would use meals rather than dishes?

Are you familiar with the lexical corpus at different CEFR levels?

You ought to be...

And you still don't say why you think that it reflects the culinary attitudes of the nations that make up Britain.

Sometimes, non-natives should really not pretend to be teachers.

Ha! Finally you found out the illogicallity in the photo. Better late than never.

There is no 'illogicality' at all. The word was carefully chosen for reasons above that you probably failed to grasp or pretend to have failed to grasp.

And what in your booze-addled mind makes you think that a textbook for kiddywinks in Poland reflects attitudes to food?

Everybody knows you are lying to have the last word. It is a sad norm in your pathetic case. HA!!!

Oh dear, Paw, keep digging. Soon you'll be having a smoko with bogans, bludgers, possums and Emma Chisit under a billabong tree.

If only you'd asked a professional in didactic materials for language learning (clue: there's one replying to your previous post right now).why a particular lexeme has been selected for use in a given course book rather than making a sort of riddle with no answer and an odd question.

Look a couple of posts back, then google high and low frequency vocab and reflect on how that is applied in creating materials for different ages and levels.

That or find a young child whose first language is English that talks about dishes (as in meals rather than pots and pans).

No, there is no reason at all, especially that in the exercise above the one with notorious pancake meal we can read the proper names for meals aka breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Imagine how confused the student gets when they first read that pancakes are a meal and then learns from the teacher that breakfast is also a meal. Then they are prone to imagine that Brits have pancakes or chicken and rice for breakfast.

That is why I consider the book messed up by British authors who don`t care about food like Poles/Polesses do.


BS. We don`t believe one word of you now.

Notorious.


I suppose they would be if they have a teacher who doesn't know their arse from their elbow.

Remember, coursebooks are a tool, not a bible.


Some certainly do. I had pancakes and black coffee today.

Perhaps the teachers book should take into account that the course book might be used by less proficient teachers.

Darling, you are blind or what that you can`t see I type correctly??? Ha!!! What is wrong with your eyes??? ):):)


Exactly. As a dish for a meal called lunch or dinner or whatever.

Especially a teacher of English who is clearly somewhat befuddled about how the word meal can be used in the language they're teaching.

blah blah blah. hahahaha

Improve your vocabulary or have you lost your mind completely and are competing with sleepy Joe?

Sleepy Joe was OK.

It's when he was awake that we all feared for this country and humanity...

heh, that was funny

Food should be barely tolerable.

If you learn to love food at 20, it will kill you at 70.

To prevent this unhappy outcome:

Step 1: Don't marry a woman who loves cooking.

Step 2: Never eat more just to please her.

polysemy (multiple meanings) is an inherent feature of all human languages but language textbooks are generally not very good at dealing with it...

dish has two meanings: potrawa/danie and talerz (also miska)

meal has two meanings: posiłek and potrawa/danie (especially one that makes up the bulk of the meal without side dishes).

Helping students understand contextual clues for distinguishing which is which in context is better than simple (distorted rules).

breakfast is a meal, pancakes or omelettes can be a meal by themselves (usually breakfast)
