A ready-to-teach unit of four lessons of about an hour each, for beginners and young learners taking their first steps in English. Every piece has a student sheet to print or share on screen, and a teacher’s page or answer key. It works one-to-one, in small groups and in a classroom.
By the end of the unit, students can
- name common food and drinks
- say what I like and what I would like
- order in a cafe
- write about my favourite food

Lesson 3: Reading and real talk
