Food: What’s This?
In this speaking activity, students talk about breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. Students look at pictures of meals and dishes, then learn what to call them. Practical stuff: ordering at restaurants, reading menus, talking about what you ate. The visual approach means no guessing what “scrambled eggs” or “grilled chicken” actually looks like.
