 (Pupils’ answers)

5. Pre reading.  - Do you believe that the colour of food we eat can influence our feelings? Why? Why not?

(in pairs): - Tell your partner what colour food you ate yesterday. Make a list of what products your partner ate. Report to the class.

6. Reading a text giving information about food of different colours, and its influence on people’s feelings and physical state. While reading clarify meanings of highlighted words (optimistic, infections, boost, brain, eyesight, tummy, rumbling, soothing, handful, etc.) (slide 5) Copying the words into pupils’ vocabulary copybooks.
