In order to get some extra practice with the vocabulary and your listening skills, you can try to do the following activities:
- White in the inside, green in the outside... If you can't remember the name for something, you can always try describing it.
- Your daily diet. Listen to Todd talking about the food he likes eating. What do you think about his eating habits, are they healthy enough?
- Watch this video by a famous British chef and his commitment to make healthy food popular in Britain. Why don't you have a go at cooking this simple omelette?
- Also, as an ideal 'topping' for the unit, why don't you tell us about your favourite dishes and how you like them served? Leave your comments!
