As you know, we’re studying a very interesting and popular topic. It is “Food. Favourite dishes”. We can’t imagine our life without food. Food is the staff of our life. We live not to eat but eat to live. You know such a good proverb, I think.
Today at the lesson we’ll summarize and systematize our knowledge on the topic: talk about your likes and dislikes in food, recite rhymes, develop your listening, reading and writing skills, invent a new dish, practise a project work, develop your pair and group communicative skills.
