Objective & Resource Content

The objective is to lead students to **enrich their vocabulary** for describing the taste and texture of food by identifying and using synonymous adjectives.

The document is a synonym matching exercise on the theme "**Adjectives of Taste**." Students must connect eight pairs of adjectives with close meanings. The vocabulary covers the main flavors such as *delicious/tasty*, *spicy/hot*, *sweet/sugary*, *bitter/sour*, and textures or states like *fresh/crisp*, *soft/tender*, *liquid/fluid*, and *raw/uncooked*. This targeted activity gives students the necessary words to give their opinion on a dish, understand a menu, or describe a recipe.

Suggested Lesson Flow

Before the Activity (~5 min): MY FAVORITE DISH

  • Ask students to think about their favorite dish and describe it in a few words. Write the suggested adjectives on the board, sorting them into two columns: "**Taste**" and "**Texture**."

During the Activity (~5-10 min): LEXICAL TASTING

  • Distribute the sheet. Students, alone or in pairs, connect the synonym pairs.

  • Lead a group correction. Clarify potential double meanings (e.g., *hot* for temperature and for "spicy") and the nuances between terms (e.g., *raw* vs *uncooked*).

After the Activity (~10 min): AT THE RESTAURANT

  • Create a simple, fictional menu on the board. In pairs, students role-play a scene: a customer asks questions about the dishes using the new vocabulary (e.g., "Is the soup very *spicy*?"), and the waiter answers using the synonyms (e.g., "Yes, it is quite *hot*.").

Adaptations

  • To Simplify: Complete the most obvious pairs (*delicious/tasty*) as a large group. Use images of food to illustrate the adjectives (*crisp* apple, *soft* cheese).

  • To Extend: Ask students to write a short online review of a restaurant (real or imaginary) using at least five of the new adjectives from the sheet.
