Shall We Get Something to Eat?
“I’m hungry.”
Meet Aya and Ben. What could they eat? Where could they go?
Choose: café or park? A quick snack or a meal?
Tell your partner your choice and one reason.
Aya and Ben are invented adults. All plans in this lesson are imaginary.

Game 1

Speaking
Make a plan that works
Role A
Make an invitation.
You fancy noodles. You are free at one. You prefer the café.
Make a suggestion. Ask about time and place.
Role B
Offer an alternative.
You fancy soup. You are free at half past twelve, not one. You like the café.
Respond politely. Suggest a new time.
Together
Agree on three things.
Food · time · place.
Different meals at the same café are OK!
So, let’s meet …
Round 2 · Swap
A wants a sandwich in the park. B cannot meet today. Find another day, a time and a place.
Use “I can’t today” and a new suggestion.
Round 3 · Your choice
Invent different preferences. Make two suggestions before agreeing.
B1 stretch: give a reason, ask “What time?” or “Where shall we meet?”, and confirm the full plan without looking.
Feedback
A friendly second try
Choose the better phrase. Say the whole suggestion.
Let’s to meet. / Let’s meet.
Shall we get soup? / Shall we getting soup?
Try a warmer reply: “No.” → “I’d rather …” or “I can’t today. How about …?”
Replay your invitation with one clearer time or place.
