What is Toad-in-the-hole
Toad-in-the-hole 香腸布丁
Toad-in-the-hole is a traditional British dish. It consists of sausages in a Yorkshire pudding mix, usually served with vegetables.The origin of the dish's name isn't quite clear, but a common explanation is that it gets its name because it resembles a toad sticking its head out of a hole.
Observe and answer.
1. Who were the people in the story
2. Where did the story take place
3. What happened
4. What caused the misunderstanding
They were a girl and her British host family.
It took place in the girl’s British host family’s home.
The boy told the girl that they were going to have toad-in-the-hole for dinner. The girl wasn’t sure whether it would be a real toad in a hole.
The girl didn’t know that “toad-in-the-hole” is actually the name of a dish.
Retell the story.
You may begin like this:
My name is ... I come from China. Now I am studying in the UK and living with a British family. I’ve learnt a lot about the history of UK and practised speaking English. But I find something strange when I come to the UK. …
Write a story.
Draw an outline of what you will write. A mind map may help you.
Think about how you will arrange the story.
Think about what tense you will use.
Think about who will be your reader so that you can choose the better-understanding words.

the end: what I can learn from the experience
Last summer, I stayed with a British host family. One day, I was really surprised when Jeremy, the son of the family, told me that we would have toad-in-the-hole for dinner. I wasn't sure whether we were going to eat a real toad in a hole. If so, how terrible! I joined them at dinner time with butterflies in my stomach. To my astonishment, a dish of sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding (a mix that tastes a bit like pancakes) was served on the table, and it tasted delicious. It turned out that toad-in-the-hole is a typical dish for a British dinner, and there's no toad! What an amazing experience! It was interesting to try such yummy food with a strange name.
