Food /
Poles have a more loving attitude to food than here in the UK [169]
Now I am checking the student`s book and it is equally confusing. In one exercise pancakes is called an item of food, while in the workbook - a meal.
Surprise, surprise - there is no meal entry in the dictionary at the end of Unit 2.
Poor students learn that pancakes is a meal. What is breakfast? Also a meal. Everything is a meal, in fact :):):):
I am bothered by that mess coz until the end of their education, many Polish students mix up words dish and meal which may matter at final exams. Then they write or say:
traditional Polish meals are full of calories. And examiners have to guess what they mean by that.
