What you get
Take your students beyond “I like wine” and “Beer tastes good.” This workbook helps learners describe flavors like a true enthusiast while mastering sophisticated comparison language. Through engaging discussions, podcast-based listening, and interactive speaking tasks, students learn to compare, evaluate, and describe beverages with confidence and precision.
The vocabulary section equips learners with the language of tasting, describing, and evaluating beverages like a pro. Students master expressive adjectives and sensory language such as "robust," "effervescent," "reminiscent of," "with a hint of," and "multifaceted," enabling them to describe flavors, aromas, textures, and overall drinking experiences with confidence and precision.
Designed to build advanced speaking skills through authentic, conversation-driven practice.
✅ Discussion warm-up (students share their drinking preferences, social traditions, and experiences with beverages from around the world)
✅ Brainstorming challenge
✅ Podcast listening (students compare wine and beer by taking notes on taste profiles, aging, and production)
✅ Grammar discovery task (students analyze and practice sophisticated ways of comparing and contrasting using authentic examples)
✅ Speaking activity (students compare different beverages using advanced vocabulary and comparison structures)
