English in action: Hospital meals
Order food in a hospital cafeteria Extend range of spoken responses about food
A
Ask the students to look at the pictures. Elicit where the people are (a cafeteria). Ask: Where’s the cafeteria? (In a hospital because one of the customers is a patient.)
Ask students about their favourite things in a cafeteria: Which one do you usually go to? Where is it? What’s your favourite coffee? Or do you prefer tea, hot chocolate?, etc. What do you eat?
Elicit one or two ideas for what each picture is about. Then students continue in pairs. Elicit a few ideas, but do not confirm or correct.
Answers Students’ own answers.
B
1. Students read through the gapped conversations in order to get a general idea of each. Check understanding of words like regular, large, black (and elicit the opposite white), hot, change and receipt. Individually, students complete any gaps that they can.
2. Play the recording so that students can check
their ideas. Students can do a further check in pairs. Go over any answers students had difficulty with and replay the conversations if necessary.
Play the recording again, pausing after each line for
repetition. Then students can practise the conversations in pairs. Monitor and make a note of common errors for later feedback.
NOTE Do you want …? and Would you like …? have the
same meaning, but Would you like …? is more polite. However, with polite intonation, Do you want …? is perfectly acceptable nowadays.

• Students practise the conversations again, but substitute different types of coffee or drinks, food and prices.
Extra activities

or students can simply see how much they can remember.
