Notes for teachers
Use this test after teaching basic food and drink vocabulary, or as a placement check for beginners. Part 2 targets typical learner errors such as mixing up hungry and thirsty, using the wrong container (a glass of bread) and the verb 'have' with meals. For follow-up, ask students to write their own short 'My food day' text, using the reading in Part 3 as a model.
