Living with Others - Negotiating Needs and Preferences
When we live with other people food choices can affect everybody.
- What are some foods that smell great when they are cooking?
- What are some foods that smell bad when cooked?
- What are some foods that you don't want anywhere near you?
- What are some foods that you can't live without?
When we live with others we often have to negotiate when and what to cook. Imagine you are moving in with some new roommates. One of your roommates is on a special diet that requires a lot of fish and another one hates the smell of fish cooking and is a vegetarian. Pretend they ask you to help them solve the problem. What advice would you give them?
Choose the phrases that sound assertive without being aggressive.
PRESENTERS: You can read with intonation to clarify which statements are more aggressive.
- I NEED to eat my fish every day, so you have to deal with it
- I understand that you don't like the smell of fish cooking, but my diet really does require it.
- As a vegetarian I think you're a monster for eating those poor little helpless fish.
- As a vegetarian, I can understand a special diet, but do you think we can figure out a way that you don't have COOK it every day?
- Well special diets are stupid. You need to eat like a normal person, like me.
- If we just keep thinking, we can solve this. Let's keep trying to figure it out.
