Culture note: Meals in the United States
In the United States, people usually eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The largest meal is usually
dinner, and it is eaten in the early evening. Traditionally, this meal includes meat or fish, potatoes, and another
vegetable, like corn or peas. Many people in the US eat this kind of food, but because the US is a multicultural
country, there are many different typical meals in different families. People often eat food that is not traditionally a
part of their culture as well. For example, Mexican food is popular with people of different cultures all over the
United States. Japanese, Indian, Korean, and Greek foods are popular in different areas.

Traditionally people only ate two meals on Sunday: breakfast and supper. Supper is like dinner, but there is more
food, and it is eaten in the afternoon, not evening. Some people still follow this tradition, but many do not. Many
families also eat meals in restaurants or they order take out. People can pick up take out food and bring it home, or
sometimes it is delivered by a restaurant.

 Ask the children to draw a grid, three by three (or three by two) squares. In each of the squares, they write a different
food word.
 Call out words from the vocabulary set in any order. Keep a record of the words as you say them, so that you don’t
say the same word twice. The children cross off the words in their grids as they hear them. The first child to complete
a line of three shouts Bingo!
 If children have trouble remembering enough words, show them flashcards 79–85 and 103–107 without saying the
words.

Development
Role play
 Divide the class into pairs. One child asks questions with Do you like…?, and the other answers as Xuan. E.g., Do you
like yogurt? Yes, I do. / Do you like ice cream? No, I don’t.
Look at the menu on page 84. Ask and answer. (Exercise 2)
 Ask children to look at the question and answer in the speech bubbles. Read the first speech bubble aloud for children
to repeat, and then the second. Model correct intonation for the class.
 Ask a pair of children to read the dialogue for the class.
 Ask children to turn to the menu on page 84. They work in pairs, taking turns asking and answering the question What
do you like? using the food and drinks on the menu.
 Monitor the activity and help where necessary. Encourage children to say which kinds of food they don’t like as well
as the ones they do.
 Ask some of the pairs to ask and answer the question for the class.
Write ‘like’ or ‘don’t like’. (Exercise 3)
 Write the example sentence on the board. Ask a few children if the sentence is true for them.
 Write the next sentence on the board, with a blank for like/don’t like. Ask a few children whether they will write like
or don’t like in this space.
 Children complete the exercise individually.
 Divide the class into pairs. Children tell each other about the foods they like and don’t like from Exercise 3, e.g., I like
fish, and I like apples.
Circle n’t and match. (Exercise 4)
 Copy the three examples of the verbs and contractions onto the board. Point to each one, one at a time, for children
to read. Ask a child to come and circle the n’t in each word. Then ask children what all three of the contractions are
short for (not).
 Ask children to look at the exercise in their Student Books. Explain that they have to match the sentences with
contractions to the ones with full forms and circle n’t in the contracted sentences.
 Allow time for children to read and match the sentences and circle n’t.
 Go over the answers with the class. Read the sentences on the left one at a time for the class to say the
corresponding sentence on the right in chorus.
Answer
1 I don’t like fish. – b
2 It isn’t a banana. – c

3 They aren’t my shorts. – aConsolidation


Find your dinner buddy.
 Ask children to write down all the foods that they like on a piece of paper.
 Children mingle around the class asking What do you like? They listen to the response and check the words on their
list if they hear them.
 After they have spoken to five other children, each child decides who would be their best dinner buddy, based on
who likes the same food as them.
Who likes what?
 Divide the class into groups of 6–10 and ask them to sit in a circle.
 The first child says I like… .The child to their right says I like… and then points to the first child and says He/She
likes….The next child says I like… and then points to the first two children and says He/She likes… , and he/she likes….
 Continue until the last child, who says what everyone in the circle likes.
 Option: repeat with don’t like.
Dice game
 Divide the class into pairs. Give each pair two dice.
