PART. 04
Sunday 20 October
When you dine out, do you prefer to choose a restaurant with bright light or dim one What’s the feeling if you dine at a “dark restaurant”
Sunday 20 October
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
Dining in the Dark
Recently I accompanied a friend to dine at a “dark restaurant”, where people eat in complete darkness, served by blind staff. We wanted to understand the experience of being blind, and we thought eating would be the most difficult activity.
It was a difficult meal. Because we couldn’t see where anything was, my friend and I knocked over glasses and dropped food. My senses of taste and smell became more sensitive, and I ate much more slowly, trying to guess what I was eating. Pouring water was very difficult, plus I kept drinking from my friend’s glass.
After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes, I decided to use my hands. I reached down, expecting rice and vegetables, but instead stuck my hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup.
“It’s best to use a spoon for this course,” the waiter said into my ear, helpfully but much too late. Even using a spoon, I spilled most of the soup on my shirt. I felt embarrassed, even though no one could see me.
Our waiter advised us to lift the plates and bowls close to our faces. However, I still left the restaurant feeling hungry, though I was much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.
Sunday 20 October
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
1. Why did the author go to the “dark restaurant”
Because the author and his/her friend wanted to understand the experience of being blind, thinking eating would be the most difficult activity.
2. What difficulties did the author have during the meal

b. The author ate much more slowly, trying to guess what was being eaten.
c. Pouring water was very difficult.
d. After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes, the author decided to use hands, but stuck one hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup.
e. Even using a spoon, the author spilled most of the soup on his/her shirt.
3. How did the author feel after finishing the meal
The author left the restaurant feeling hungry, though much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.
Try to experience what it is like to have a disability and make notes.
Now write a short passage to describe your experience.
Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s passages and share them with the class.
Today in class, we played a game called “the blind traveler”, in which one has to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. It is through this experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a blind person.
Not being able to see where l was going, I kept going off the path and turning in the wrong direction. What’s more, without the ability to accurately locate the position of the barriers, l often fell over them, even though I was moving at an extremely slow speed. And a loss of balance increased the difficulty of this short journey. After falling over more than ten times, I finally reached my destination on hands and knees.
Without sight, I couldn’t even complete this short journey of no more than 15 metres smoothly, let alone overcome all the other various difficulties in daily life. I do realise that life must be much more challenging for the blind people.
