Sounding Natural Note: Talking about foods you like English transcript of audio track 3-22 When talking about foods you like, it's natural to want to go more into detail about them. Here are some general follow-up questions that will help you talk more about all sorts of popular foods. For example, if you like pizza, you could talk about what kind you like. Another common sub-topic is talking about how to make something. Here the conversation can flow naturally into talking about recipes for dishes you can make. We have provided a few basic phrases to get you started, but be sure to ask you teacher for more help on how to talk about making food! A third popular sub-topic is talking about good restaurants for your favorite foods. When recommending a place to eat, be sure to mention its name, location, some good features (such as atmosphere or menu items), or an especially delicious dish. While these three sub-topics will work with all of the foods listed here, each food also contains other possible things to talk about. For example, with pizza or ramen, you could talk about places that deliver the food. Remember to ask your teacher for more ideas! • Margherita is a type of pizza commonly served in Japan that may not be familiar to people living outside of this country.

The idea here is to practice chatting in detail about foods they like. Guided Speaking Practice • Play audio track #3-23 while students listen and follow along. • This dialog exemplifies a possible conversation about a favorite food.
