Food and nutrition - all the grammar you need!

Talking about food, diets, cooking, and healthy habits is one of the most common topics. To do that clearly, you need the right grammar tools. This post will guide you through essential grammar that helps you describe foods, discuss nutrition, give advice, and share recipes. Let’s dig in! 🍎🥗🍞 1.

The teacher collects the ideas and creates a class healthy habits list. Some examples might be: Drinking water instead of soda Yogurt with fruit for breakfast A banana and peanut butter snack Heal...

Our students will now move from the page (poster/presentation) to the screen! In this blog, there are instructions for the groups on how to present their healthy creations in a short film. It’s more than just a presentation; it’s a "cooking show" where words meet flavour. Grab some popcorn and see how we’ve brought our English to life! In the previous post, students received instructions to create a balanced weekly menu. In this task, students will take their groups' work a step further by creating a video to present it. The YouTube video above has some useful information! Below you will find the instructions for the assignment.
