In my 22nd logic game you meet Jason, Joan, Kelly, Lisa and Robert, who were at the market yesterday. They bought some vegetables to prepare a delicious dinner for their loved ones. From this game you can find out what they bought, what they cooked and who ate it.  Some cliparts are from Philip Martin and some from http://www.clker.com/. Hope you enjoy this one as well. Hugs, Zsuzsapszi.

If you don’t know how to solve this kind of game, you can look at the Einstein riddle on the net or have a look at my 33rd logic game, called Best friends where I wrote down the solution step by step.

A busy picture with some guidelines, turned into exercises, for how to approach describing it. There is a match-up, a gap fill and a 'put the verb into the present continuous tense' exercise. 

Describing a picture

This is a worksheet to practice using too much /too many / enough / not enough / more / less / fewer in the context of dietary advice. I created it as students often make mistakes such as 'too many sugar' with countable/uncountable nouns.



You can do some warm up questions before giving the sheet out such as 'Do you think you eat too much fast food?' and 'How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?'



After finishing the sheet get students to create their own daily diet plans - you can tell them to make it healthy or deliberately unhealthy. Then role-play a nutritionist/client scenario with the nutritionist making comments and giving advice such as "You eat too much fast food. I think you should eat less of this and more fruit and vegetables."

Dietary Advice

Students could be given this sheet to know the information that a book review must contain. They don't have to use all the vocabulary given but to select according to their opinion and book they have read. It could be used as a guideline not only for a written book rewiew but also for an oral review.
