The game show theme continues as the teacher introduces the final activity which involves the teams reading cards containing idiomatic expressions about eating  The teams give definitions only one of which is correct, and the correct one has to be guessed by the other team. The native speakers reads out the correct definition and explains why it is correct. This activity again encourages participation of all students and the element of competition continues to keep them all interested. 

At the end of the lesson, a differentiated homework is set to build upon the material covered. For the majority of the group, the task is a reading comprehension where two recipes have to be changed using the imperative direct for one recipe and indirect for the other. The native speaker student is asked to prepare a presentation on Dieta Mediterranea which will be presented to the class in the next lesson.
