10. ACTIVITY
In pairs using poster paper create a VENN diagram choosing 2 of the countries form the

long as you ok this with your teacher.
 In the Venn diagram, Compare:
 the types of food that each family eats,
 the amounts of food
 the cost of the food, and
 the health statistics of people in that country.
 YOU WILL NEED TO PRESENT THIS TO THE CLASS.
