Very good Abdallah. Your English is fantastic - you know the verb 'beat' for eggs.That's C1 (Advanced) vocabulary. I know what you're looking for but I won't spoil the surprise. Does anyone else know what Abdallah is describing?

It is something to drink, made of milk, but it is healthy and you can find it in different tastes. You can mix it with corn flakes or fruit and make a perfecto breakfast

Hmmm - I'm not sure what it is. I make tea with milk for breakfast, but you wouldn't want to mix it with milk. I need another clue. Where does it come from?

Maybe cornstarch. Tin foil and rice leaves are too difficult to describe, you choose good two stuffs for examples.

I think that Fernando won this episode because he is build self-confidence for the next time.
Also we can see that Yunjin is disappointed and she say that she must to use dictionary when she go to supermarket.

Hi Rema
I think you're right. They both had very difficult things to describe, but Fernando did very well. I think Yunjin's description was quite good and she got there in the end.
What do you think would be the most difficult thing to describe?
