43. Unit 7 – Adjectives to describe food(Page
70)
We've learned about adjectives used to describe food.
In the book, we used the adjectives creamy, crunchy,
greasy, juicy, salty, sour, spicy and sweet. Let’s see
different adjectives to different kinds of food, like...
how to talk about the flavour of a fruit or fish.
44. Unit 7 – Adjectives to describe food(Page
70)
1. Sweets
Syrupy: sweet with a syrup-like texture. Sweets that are in thick, liquid forms, are
often described as being syrupy.
Sugary: an intense sweet taste that replicates the taste of
sugar.
Chocolaty: a chocolate flavored sweet.
Example: The doughnuts had a rich chocolaty
45. Unit 7 – Adjectives to describe food(Page
70)
Dairy
Dairy includes food sourced from the milk of cows and
sometimes other mammals such as milk, cheese, ice cream,
yogurt, and butter.
Ripe (cheese): a strong flavor- cheese.
Buttery: having the consistence and taste of butter
Creamy: soft and smooth in texture with a
cream-like taste.
Example: I had a taste of a deliciously creamy
yogurt at the snack counter yesterday.
46. Unit 7 – Adjectives to describe food(Page
70)
Vegetables
Crispy: having a hard but easily crunched consistency.
Example: Crispy fresh lettuce pieces garnished the main course.
Bitter: an unpleasant taste- the opposite of sweet.
Wilted: lacking firmness; limp. This word is ideal for describing vegetables
such as lettuce that have lost their freshness.
Rubbery: flexible-lacking firmness. Vegetables such as carrots are often
described with this word when they are no longer
47. Unit 7 – Adjectives to
describe food(Page 70)

49. Unit 7 – Adjectives to describe food(Page 70)
Something else you can do is using adjectives that basically mean “
good", "very good" or "very very good"... It's a way to avoid repeating "good" all the
time. Check this list:
Amazing
Appealing
Appetizing
Delectable
Delicious
Delightful
Divine
Enjoyable
Enticing
Excellent
Exquisite
Extraordinary
Fantastic
Finger Licking
Heavenly
Lip Smacking
Luscious
Marvelous
Mouthwatering
Pleasant
Pleasing
Satisfying
Scrumptious
Superb Yummy...
Tasty
Terrific
Wonderful
Tantalizing
50. Unit 7 – Too, enough, not enough(Page 71)
We also learned the expressions "too _____", " _____
enough" and "not _____ enough", as a way to give intensity
to this adjectives. Mind that when we say something is
"extraordinary" we are already giving intensity, so it sounds
strange to say "too extraordinary", for example. But we can
say "too greasy", "too creamy", too sugary", "too bitter",
etc.
51. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
In the second part of the first class, we learned about
countable and uncountable nouns, and also how we use
UNITS (package, can, jar, box, bottle, bag, mililiters, meters,
dollars, reais, etc) as a way to COUNT originally
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS. For example: WATER is
uncountable, but you can count a GLASS OF WATER.
52. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
Don't forget that some nouns can be countable or
uncountable depending on the situation. This logic is
aprehended as you use these words. For example: FRUIT as
the general idea of "type of food" is uncountable (We need
to eat fruit to be healthy); FRUIT as the specific countable
fruit you can chose to eat is countable (Bárbara bought three
fruits to take to the picnic).
53. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
Countable Nouns
Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted. Most
nouns in English are countable.
Examples:
I have two dogs.
Sandra has three cars.
Jessie has ten dollars.
54. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns are not counted in English. This usually has to do with
the way English speakers think of these nouns. We often picture these
nouns as a single concept or one big thing which is hard to divide. Many of
these words are countable in other languages, but they ARE NOT
countable in English. Generally, we do not use plural forms of these words;
however some of these words do end in "s", so don't get confused.
Examples:
Mack drinks a lot of water.
Cindy gives great advice.
Paul enjoys politics. Ends with "s" but uncountable
55. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
Uncountable nouns tend to belong to one of the following categories:
Liquids and Gases
water
coffee
milk
air
oxygen
Solid and Granular Substances
wood
metal
cheese
sand
rice
56. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
Uncountable nouns tend to belong to one of the following categories:
Energy Words and Forces
electricity
sunshine
radiation
heat
magnetism
Subjects
French
chemistry
economics
science
math
57. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
Uncountable nouns tend to belong to one of the following categories:
Grouped Concepts
fruit
money
food
vocabulary
news
Information and Abstract Concepts
information
advice
education
democracy
intelligence
58. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
With COUNTABLE NOUNS we can use:
NUMBERS: 1 apple, 2 apples
QUANTIFIERS: MANY (big quantity), A FEW and SOME
(regular quantity), FEW (small quantity), and FEWER
(comparison - the quantity is smaller), NOT ENOUGH
(not sufficient), etc.
59. Unit 7 – Countables/ Uncountables(Page
72 and 73)
With UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS we can use:
UNITS: 1 ml of water, 1 bottle of wine, 1 cup of cofee
QUANTIFIERS: MUCH (big quantity), A LITTLE and
SOME (regular quantity), LITTLE (small quantity), and
LESS (comparison - the quantity is smaller), NOT
ENOUGH (not sufficient), etc.
64. Recipe
Watch this recipe (from minute 00:24,26) and try to
write it down. Focus on the important elements.
The recipe is from the channel Dulce Delight:
“Dulce Delight is a whimsical inspiring cooking show
dedicated to French pastries and its true techniques
filmed in the heart of Brooklyn by me Raiza Costa.
From me you shouldn't expect shortcuts cause there
is only one way to make scrumptious dessert: the
right way!”
66. Recipe
1st step: Melt a 70% chocolate (no need to for
tempering)
200g of chocolate in bain marie (water underneath
the bowl). Never let the water actually touch the bowl.
Low temperature, because it’s very sensitive.
In a tray, add mini cupcake liners and fill each one
with 1tbsp of melted chocolate.
67. Recipe
Swirl them carefully to coat all the interior, all the way
out to the edges. If you don’t do this job at this time,
your chocolate cup is gonna suck later.
Pour down all the excess chocolate so the base of
the cup doesn’t get too thick.
Freeze them for7 minutes to harden and then coat
them one more time. They will look pretty opaque
when hard enough.
68. Recipe
Add another tablespoon (tbsp.) of melted chocolate
and swirl it again. (You could brush the chocolate if
you prefer because it just creates a thicker layer.
Freeze it again and that’s it. Now we’ll just have to
peel it carefully holding the base of the chocolate cup
cause that’s the strongest pat . If you hold on the
sides as you peel it you are going to melt it like crazy.
69. Oral test
You will use the example of this last video, where a
Brazilian presents a recipe, and explain a recipe to the
teacher, individually. Pay attention the evaluation
topics. You mustn’t speak Portuguese or memorize
speech, the speech must flow naturally and focus on
the explanation.
The second part will consist in some questions.
