Lesson 1575: Making Breakfast

Level: A1–A2
Topic: Breakfast and Food
Grammar Focus: Some / Any
Skills: Listening, Vocabulary, Speaking, Grammar
Materials: Audio, worksheet, multiple-choice quiz, noticing activity

1. Vocabulary Warm-Up

Give students the worksheet.

Have them match the breakfast words with the pictures.

Briefly review the vocabulary before listening.

2. First Listening – Put the Pictures in Order

Play the conversation between Katie and Todd.

Students listen and number the pictures in the order the words are mentioned.

After listening, have students compare their answers with a partner.

3. Memory Check + Second Listening

Before playing the conversation again, give students the multiple-choice questions.

Have them try to answer the questions from memory based on the first listening.

Then play the audio again.

Students listen for details and confirm or change their answers.

Check answers as a class.

4. Discussion – Breakfast

Use the discussion questions at the bottom of page two.

Students work in pairs or small groups and talk about topics such as what they eat for breakfast, what they like to make, and what food they have at home.

For homework, students can write their answers next to the questions and discuss them in the next class.

5. Grammar Focus – Some and Any

The grammar focus for this lesson is the quantifiers some and any.

Use examples from the conversation to help students notice the basic patterns:

Some is commonly used in affirmative statements:

• I have some eggs.

• We need some bread.

Any is commonly used in questions and negative statements:

• Do you have any eggs?

• I don't have any milk.

Students can focus on these patterns before moving to the transcript activity.

6. Noticing Activity – Choose the Correct Word

Put students in pairs.

One student reads Katie's part and the other reads Todd's part.

As they read the conversation, students must choose the correct word from the two options, including examples with some and any.

Encourage partners to discuss which answer they think is correct.

After they finish, play the conversation again so students can listen and check their choices.

7. Optional Mobile Activity

The same activity is available online.

Display the lesson page and generate a QR code for the page. Students scan the code and open the activity on their phones.

They can select the Test tab, choose their answers, and submit their results at the bottom.

If an answer is incorrect, students can try the other choice.

8. Speaking Extension – What's in Your Fridge?

Extend the lesson by having students talk about food they have at home.

Students can ask each other questions using the target grammar:

Do you have any eggs?
Do you have any fruit?
Do you have any bread?

Students can respond with sentences such as:

Yes, I have some eggs.
No, I don't have any eggs.

They can then discuss what breakfast they could make with the food they have.

9. Homework / Self-Study

The lesson works well for independent practice.

Students can use the QR code to access the audio and complete the activities outside class.

The worksheet also includes an answer key and timestamps showing when the quiz answers are spoken, making it easy to check answers or replay specific sections.
