Pedagogical Guide
Objective & content
A one-page B1 printable on adjectives of taste, built on eight synonym pairs such as delicious / tasty and bitter / sour. Students draw a line from each of the eight words in the left column to the word in the right column that means something very similar; the right column is printed in a different order.
Pedagogical guide
Food words let students tie vocabulary to the senses. Some pairs are close (raw / uncooked), while bitter and sour are neighbours that students often confuse, and hot in spicy / hot means spicy, not a high temperature. Bring a real or pictured food to anchor each doubtful pair.
Suggested procedure
- (5 min) Read the left-hand column aloud, then the right-hand column, which is printed in a different order.
- (10 min) Students work alone in pencil and draw a line from each left-hand word to the word of very similar meaning on the right.
- (5 min) Pairs compare their lines and defend any difference before you check.
- (5 min) Correct with the answer key page. Ask which food students would call crisp and which tender.
Adaptations
[S] Fold the sheet so that only four left-hand words show, and start with the clearest pairs, such as delicious / tasty.
[A] Students describe a favourite dish in three sentences that use at least two words from the sheet.
Materials & prerequisites
One printed copy per student and a pencil rather than a pen. Keep the answer key page for yourself.
