Level/other information   : Spoken English Lesson

Summary

    They were talking about food. The girl talked about Vietnam food, and the man talked about US food. They were given their own opinion about the food, then give feedback one each other. They also use some words to explain the taste of the food. Such as mushy, tough, chewy, crunchy, etc. They also use some describing taste expressions, such as, great, amazing, fantastic, tasty, delicious, etc. I learnt some new expressions that have relations with compliment something.

  

Vocabularies/language expressions you learnt :

1. Cuisines = ​a style of cooking

Activities: What did you do? What scores did you get

    In this activity, I listened to the audio twice. Sometimes, I read the subtitle, but sometimes, I ignore the subtitle. The speaker was good, but they use many difficult terms. To solve this problem, I stopped the video, then searched the meaning of the terms. Then, continue the video.

 

  

Benefits: What benefits did you learn from this topic?

    Many new expressions, their pronunciation, and the content of the video.
