Background Information
1. Oysters
Oysters were an important food source in all coastal areas where they could be found, and oyster fisheries were an important industry where they were plentiful. Overfishing and pressure from diseases and pollution have sharply reduced supplies, but they remain a popular treat, celebrated in oyster festivals in many cities and towns.
2. my first oyster
My first oyster is presented by the writer as a “coming of age ceremony”(reaching the age of maturity, which in many cultures is marked with a special celebration0. However, this isn’t a general custom. Probably the writer wants to stress that eating oysters is considered a luxury, and eating the first oyster is a very grown up activity. There is ritual when eating oysters though. Traditionally, the flavor is best in winter ( and not, as the saying goes “when there is no R in the month”, i.e. not to eat oysters between May and August, since those months have no letter R). to eat oysters you take the opened shell with one hand and “slurp” the oyster and savour the saltwater taste in your mouth, then drink the juice- with perhaps a touch of lemon juice, wine or hot sauce- from the shell; and then eat a mouthful of special bread between each variety of oyster to cleanse the mouth.
3. fish and chips
fish and chips is a piece of fish that is covered in batter( a mixture of flour, egg and water) and fried in oil and served with chips. It is a very popular food in Britain and often bought from a restaurant to take home. And there is Christian tradition of not eating meat on Wednesdays and Fridays9 so many people choose fish). Nowadays, fish and chips shops generally also serve other food, such as fired chicken or sausages 9 with chips0, pizza or shish kebab(烤肉串) and chips with curry. These last items reflect cultural influences on food, often as a result of immigration and international travel. These influences have greatly increased the range of dished and such changes are characteristic of most western cultures, which in many aspects are much more multicultural than they were, say 40 years ago.

Difficult sentences (refer to PPT ARE 1 p51-54)
1 There was no hope left, the only feeling was hunger, and the only emotion was the fear of lost innocence as I realized there could be no escape from my first oyster. (Para 7)
Here the writer realized that he had to eat the oyster so he felt the emotion of fear, not about the oyster as such, but about losing innocence. There is a little sadness here as well as humour: Is eating an oyster really that important and is trying the first oyster really losing innocence?

Aside (teacher) : It sounds more like a schoolboy challenge.
Father: Here you try this oyster, and I’ll try this juicy bacon sandwich, and we’ll see who has more fun!

Aside (teacher) : Finally, my father picked up the oyster again, and I knew it was all over.
Father: Suck it into your mouth. Hold it there, taste the salt and the sea, and then swallow. Then I’ll get you something you like.

Grammar focus
When we want to give extra information to a sentence, we use a non-defining relative clause with who for people, which for things, and where for places. We put the extra information immediately after the person or thing it refers to. We separate the extra information from the main information with commas, or a comma and a full stop if it’s at the end of the sentence.
Additional exercise:
1. My grandmother, who is dead now, came from the North of England.
2. The elephant looked at the tree, under which she had often sat.
3. We stopped at the museum, which we’d never been into.
4. I’ve just met Susan, whose husband works in London.
5．The house of which the windows /whose windows are broken is unoccupied.
此句可以用whose 和 of which 表示所属意义。但下句只能用of which,表示“部分”意义：
I can lend you five books, of which none/none of which are very good.
Of whom 中心词是“人”：
It’s a family of eight children, all of whom/of whom all are studying music.
