Have fun!
If you want to spend more than one session
on this topic, you can also pair your students and ask them to invent restaurant dialogues, memorise them, and then act them out in front of the class You can also make it a homework assignment – they can make their own food cards, dialogue cards, menus or anything you can think of!! They usually like to make everything for themselves, but it will save you some time if you download
worksheets that have already been prepared,
or just browse through the real restaurant menus
Trang 3FOOD CARDS:
Find the photos you need for your dialogues on the Innternet Extend your dialogue to a full meal ordering (first course, main dish, dessert, drinks), or concentrate on ordering just fish dishes, just vegetable dishes, just soups…
