Italian Ice – Cream = gelato

Let’s take a look at the picture again.

Let’s take a look at the picture again.

• What if this picture appears in your oral exam? And the teacher asks…

“ Look at the picture…Do you like ice – cream?”

What would you say?

Clue: What are the secret weapons that I have taught you?

Remember, if you give 1 word answers, we cannot give you a high score! We need to hear an entertaining and descriptive story from

you!

(What) It is my most favourite dessert because (why)it is really delicious. The ice-cream that I like most is gelato. (Where)Gelato comes from Italy and there are many shops selling them in Singapore today. Gelato is more

sweeter than the normal ice-cream that we buy in tubs from the supermarket and are mostly handmade. (How)

Yes! I love ice – cream!

(When) I usually eat ice – cream whenever I feel bored or when I feel stressed. The bright and cheerful colours of the gelato always makes me happy and attract me to buy them. (Personal Experience) My whole family loves ice – cream but we have to be careful not to overindulge in it because eating too much of ice – cream can make us unhealthy. We need to eat ice- cream in moderation. It contains a lot of sugar and eating too much of sugary food may cause health problems like diabetes in the future. (Pros and Cons)

No, I don’t like ice - cream

No, I don’t like ice - creamI love eating ice kacang! They are really colourful and delicious. Ice kacang is a local delicacy usually found in hawker centres and can cost as low as $1.50! I usually eat them as a dessert after my lunch or dinner. There are many ingredients in ice kacang besides the ice shavings. There are red beans, jelly, cincau and even some sweet fruits are added. My favourite is the durian ice kacang because the creamy texture of the durian on the ice makes it more appetizing! My mum warns me not to eat too much of it as it is really sweet. This can be problematic for diabetic people like my grandfather. That is why he usually don’t eat sweet things like ice- cream or even ice kacang. He must take medication for his illness. To be safe, I will share my big bowl of ice kacang with my siblings so that I wouldn’t be so full.
