Yesterday we started a new topic: food and meals.

The meals are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Dinner is usually the most important meal and it can be taken in the evening or at midday.

Students learned the names of various foods ( they already knew many of them): vegetables: like potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, garlic. Meat like chicken, pork and beef; other foods: rice, beans, spaghetti, bread, cereal, cheese, soup, salad, eggs, omelette, fish; seafood: like prawns and clams. Sauces like tomatoe sauce, ketchup or mayonnaise.

Students had to answer the question: How often do you eat in a restaurant?

Students looked at a menu. The menu had 3 sections. For dinner people usually eat 3 dishes: A starter
Soups, salads, pasta, etc.

The main course
Meat, fish, seefood, eggs, usually with some vegetables and potatoes on the side.

Dessert
Fruit, yoghourt, ice cream flan, cakes, pies.

Students listened to a conversation in a restaurant. There was the waiter, who took the orders and 3 customers. In the conversation they used this verb form:

What are you going to have for a starter?

I am going to have chicken soup.
