This is the first of three sections about food. This section introduces the names of snack foods and drinks that are popular with French children; and shows an ordinary French family having breakfast. It also shows how to say whether you like particular food items. If you are linked with a French school, or planning a visit to France, children will be curious about French food, and keen to be able to express their preferences. Section 11 will introduce more foods, show a family lunch, and help children say what they would like at meals or in a shop. Later sections will use the language for likes and dislikes in more contexts - talking about sports, pastimes and school subjects.
