Explanation
This is the review of unit 15. A meal is a وَجْبَة. The three meals of the day are الْفَطُور (breakfast), الْغَدَاء (lunch) and الْعَشَاء (dinner). You can name foods, drinks and fruit. You can say what you like with أُحِبّ and what you want with أُرِيد, and you can order politely with مِن فَضْلِك and thank with شُكْرًا. To list foods, join them with وَ: خُبْز وَجُبْن is “bread and cheese”. Read the examples aloud and then plan your own meal.
