Unit 2: lesson 2a Can't live without it

Ss learn vocabulary related to food and drink. They also learn about countable and uncountable nouns and quantifiers. 

The context is a listening where people talk on a podcast about food they love.

To start

What food do you like or dislike? Make a list with at least 5 items. 

 Watch the video and compare your list to the answers given.

Tell Ss the last thing you had to eat and drink (e.g. ‘For breakfast this morning I had some toast and a cup of coffee.’). Put Ss in small groups to talk about the last things they had to eat and drink.
