2. Do you like ___?
3. How often do you eat it?
4. Is it healthy or unhealthy?
Third activity:
Taking into account the food already mentioned, in pairs students will have to
create a dialogue in which one of them is from the USA and the other from
Argentina. They will have to ask one another about their typical food.
For example:
North-American: What do you eat for lunch?
Argentinian: On Sundays, I eat barbecue with salad. And what do you drink?
North-American: I drink coke for lunch. What is your favourite food?
Argentinian: I like milanesas with chips.

Closing reflexion:
As a way of summarizing the lesson, the teacher will tell the
students that no culture is better than others. Although a culture
has different traditions from the ones we have,it doesn’t mean they
are superior or inferior. Every culture has values that must be
respected as we all share the same world.
