Eating Well Every Day

In this Pre-Intermediate ESL lesson plan, students will explore the topic of healthy eating through a variety of fun and interactive activities. The goal is to help them learn useful vocabulary and improve their ability to talk about food and nutrition in English. The lesson includes speaking, reading, and vocabulary-building tasks designed to boost their confidence and communication skills.

Warm-up

The lesson kicks off with students reading several short opinions related to healthy eating. After reading, students are asked to explain what the bolded phrases mean, using their own words. This helps set the stage for the topic and gets them thinking and talking right away.

Reading

Next, students read a short and simple text that describes what a healthy diet looks like. The passage introduces key vocabulary and ideas in context. After reading, they’ll answer some comprehension questions to check their understanding and start a conversation around the topic.

Exercises

In the first task, students match phrases with their definitions, helping to reinforce new words. In the second activity, they fill in the blanks in short dialogues using the vocabulary provided. This gives them a chance to see how the phrases work in real-life conversations.

Then, students choose one of several discussion topics and use expressions provided.

After that, students will complete sentences with their own words.

Finally, they’ll create a simple healthy diet plan. They’ll then present it explaining why they made those choices, which helps build both language skills and confidence.

Discussion

To wrap things up, students choose two opinions that they either agree or disagree with. They’ll explain their viewpoint and talk about it with their teacher. This final task encourages reflection, deeper thinking, and real conversation using the vocabulary and ideas they’ve learned throughout the lesson.
