Vocabulary and discussion
Your students can warm up by describing photos – even less advanced will manage to tell you something. Then, a this or that to discuss preferences. A short text about comfort food followed by engaging questions – a lot of culinary inspiration to be gathered after this one. There is more speaking in the last part – analysis of three typical comfort foods from around the world and presentation of the student’s comfort food. Enjoy!
