师：Hello, welcome to my class. Today, we'll continue to learn Unit 3, Food and Culture. First of all, let's look at the learning objectives. In this class, you will get key information about new cuisine in Australia from a video clip and talk about strange food. Well, let's review what we learned previously.
Still remember the two sentences from the text, Culture and Cuisine on page 26: "Tell me what you eat. Anna will tell you what you are. Culture and cuisine go hand in hand." They mean so much of a culture is based on the kind of food we eat, and it tells a lot about our personality, character, and even culture.
Please look at this picture. Still remember what kind of dishes Tingting recommends to Anna and Lisa? Yes, you're right. The famous Hunan cuisine is hot and spicy. Such bold flavors can tell us something about Hunan people. They are bold and adventurous. Well, today we're going to watch a video about what people are eating in Australia. First, please read a brief introduction on page 36. What are people eating in Australia? According to the introduction, what kind of food do Australians love? As we can see, they love new and exotic food. Here, "exotic" means... Are you sure? And from this picture, can you predict what the new cuisine is? At least we can tell it must be something unusual. And it's not very big from the size of the dish.
So here's another question. What do you expect to see in the video? Maybe what does the cuisine contain, what does it taste like, or why has it become popular with some Australian diners? Well, then we'll find out together.
Before we watch the video, please look at the exercise. Before you watch, you are supposed to complete the sentences with the words from the box. It's a good idea to read the sentences first to get the gist of each and prepare yourself for the task. It doesn't matter if you don't know all the words. Now you can start the work, and I'll help you in the process. Do you know these words? Well, let's read them aloud. First, "crawling onto", "cricket", "a hard sell", "trendy eateries". "Crawl" is a verb. If an insect crawls, it moves using its legs. For example, there's a bug crawling up your leg. And what about "cricket"? It's a small, jumping insect that produces short, loud sounds, just like this one. And "a hard sell" means something that's difficult to sell or make popular. For instance, despite spending more than $10 million on advertisements, the product was a hard sell. And the last one, "trendy eateries". "Trendy" means fashionable, "eateries" refers to restaurants. So trendy eateries are fashionable restaurants serving new and exotic food.
So how can we complete all these sentences? Let's have a try. Please look at the first sentence. There's an unfamiliar cuisine... menus. I think you can try and put each of the words or phrases in the box into the blanks to see which one fits the best. Obviously, "crawling onto menus" sounds like a good idea, right? Okay, it's your turn to complete the other four sentences. Well, have you finished completing all the sentences? Well, we'll check them later.
Now, from these sentences, can you predict what the new cuisine actually is? From these words, "crawling", "flying crickets", "insects", and "bug", we can tell it should be a cuisine of insects or bugs. And how do Australians like it? How do you know it from these words: "challenging", "the bravest", "remain a hard sell", but "bug by bug change", "popular at farmer's markets and trendy eateries"? We can tell at present just some Australians can accept the new cuisine, but perhaps in the future more diners will like it.
Now we're going to watch the video for the first time. While watching, please think about the following questions. What does the video talk about? How many voices do you hear? And who are they? Did we make correct choices for the five sentences just now? Are you ready? Let's enjoy it.

Australians love food. Whether an exotic twist on traditional fare or an untested flavor, they are not afraid to experiment. But there's an unfamiliar cuisine crawling onto menus down under, challenging the bravest of diners, bugs. But upmarket restaurants like this one in Sydney, a twist of lime and a dash of salt has these crickets flying out of the kitchen.
When the customers come for the first time, they have to... they're very much like they want to know what it is. They come to pass. They're asking for it. Yeah, it's very famous here.
Iron, protein, and cheaper and more sustainable than traditional food like beef. More than 2 billion people worldwide eat bugs. They are common in diets across parts of Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and it's catching on here.
Normally, you get two different kinds of people when it comes to eating insects. Say the first kind of people are completely grossed out and you really can't change their mind. They just kind of want to come and have a look and don't want to try it, really. But then we get the second kind of people that really want to learn more and some of them will try it. Some of them won't, but they'll go away and talk about eating insects and they'll spread the word about what they've seen that day.
Sky, an entomologist, runs the only commercial insect farm in Australia, producing a wide range of delicacies, from savory crickets to dehydrated ants and even roasted cockroaches. Insects remain a hard sell, but bug by bug, that could be starting to change.
So I'm gonna go a big gob.
And drive a lot of them. A lot of bugs. Sometimes when you move the packet, it looks like they're alive.
While the unique treat is proving popular at farmers markets and trendy eateries, it may be some time yet before bugs are a regular feature on Aussie dinner tables.
师：Let's check the answer to the three questions. The video mainly talks about bugs are getting popular with some diners in Australia. And how many voices do you hear? The first one is from a man's voice. It's the narrator. And what else? The second one is from, yes, you're right, the chef. And the third voice is from Sky. She is an entomologist, which means a person who studies insects. And who do you think the other two are? Yes, great. They are two customers or diners. So altogether five voices, the narrator, a chef, Sky the entomologist, and two customers. Then did we make correct choices for the five sentences just now? It doesn't matter if you're not sure yet. Let's watch the relevant part again and check the answers of the first two sentences.

But I am not afraid to experiment. But there's an unfamiliar cuisine crawling onto menus down under, challenging the bravest of diners.
师：Well, this is what the narrator says, "but there's an unfamiliar cuisine crawling onto menus down under, challenging the bravest of diners." So the first two sentences are correct. Good job. Then what about sentence 3? Let's watch the specific parts again.
