Eat and throw away - Lessons learnt from the pandemic (Task 36)
During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to statistics, most people had to change their lives drastically. Many gained weight. At the same time, the use of plastic increased, with an environmental impact. This task provides the same source text on which learners will work in different languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian and German), and leaves room for the teacher to decide what language(s) will be used as Language A (language of source texts) or Language B (or the learners' end product, which is a leaflet). An additional aim is to raise learners' awareness of health and environmental issues during the pandemic, and to find some solutions to the problems.
