• Build background Say Every person in the world eats food. We all
eat to make our bodies work. But food is fun, too. We all like certain
foods. What are your favourite foods? Choose several students to
tell the class about their favourite foods and dishes. Say What
did you eat for dinner yesterday? Can you remember? Help with
vocabulary, if necessary. When several students have answered,
see if any of them had the same answer. Say, for example, So, three
students had (noodles) last night. But only one student had (fish). Do
we eat a lot of (noodles) here?
• Say How many of you have visited a different country? Put your
hands up. Ask the students with their hands up to name the
country they visited. Then ask Did you eat any different foods in that
country? Help students to name any unfamiliar foods. Tell students
about your own experience, for example, In Spain, I had a dish made
with rice called paella. It was delicious. Show the class photos of
dishes from around the world, if you have these. Ask the class if
they can guess where any of the dishes come from.
