Step 1 Revision
1 Revise either... or... by saying, Either Im at home, or Im at school. Then ask, What two places are you at usually? Help the students to answer, Either Im at __ or Im at ____. Now ask a second student about where the first student usually is, only use two different places. For example:
Student 1: Im either at school or at home. Teacher: Where does Susan usually stay? Student 2: She usually stays either at school or at home.
Practise neither... nor... in the same way. For example:
Teacher: Are you a doctor or a nurse? Student: Im neither a doctor nor a nurse. Im a student. If time permits, you may use this as a drill.

"Whats for dinner?" Max asked.
"Im going to have some fish," Frank answered.
"Fish? I dont want fish. I had it for lunch. Lets go to a restaurant this evening," Max said.
"Thats a good idea," Prank answered.
So Max and Frank went to a restaurant. They sat at a table and a waiter came to them.
"What would you two like?"
"I want some roast beef. What do you want, Frank?"
"Id like chicken with onions," Frank said.
"Im sorry," the waiter said. "We have neither beef nor chicken. This is a seafood restaurant. We have some nice fresh fish and other seafood."
Fish and chips, and Chinese take-away food are very popular in England, but they are less popular in the USA. In the USA, people like take-away food, too, such as fried chicken, pizza and so on. But the most popular kind of take-away food is the hamburger. Its bread with chopped beef in it. Very often there is cheese and a kind of tomato sauce in it. Hamburgers are delicious. They are not only very popular in the USA, but in many other countries as well.
The answers are: 1B; 2C; 3C- 4A
Step 5 Read and act
Note: In American restaurants, one doesnt usually ask for coffee at the end of the meal. The waitress / waiter will ask the customer if they would like coffee. Also, in an American restaurant, most times, the bill is laid down on the table at the end of the meal, so that customers dont have to ask for it. In England one must ask for coffee at the end of the meal.
