Family Recipe Book


Lately, I have been working on creating a family recipe book. My entire family enjoys cooking traditional Spanish and Italian food. Recently, my mother mentioned that it might be a good idea to start writing down family recipes. Therefore, I decided that I should start a family recipe book that includes each recipe and a photo of each dish. The recipe book could potentially be passed down from generation to generation. Additionally, I could share family recipes with friends and colleagues

Vocabulary:
1. Entire- whole
2. Enjoy- to like
3. Traditional- classic, long-established 
4. Mention- to refer to something briefly 
5. Decide- to make a choice
6. Include- to involve 
7. Potentially- perhaps, maybe
8. Generation- an age group of people born and living at about the same time 
9. Additionally- also, as well 
10. Colleagues- coworker, fellow employee

Vocabulary Exercise:
Fill in the blanks with the correct vocabulary word.
1. I enjoy cooking ___________ food.
2. I __________ to create a family recipe book. 
3. My ___________ like to eat Spanish and Italian food. 
4. I will __________ photos for each recipe. 
5. My family recipe book will ___________ be finished soon.

Grammar Point:
Modal verbs are helping verbs that give additional meaning to the original verb and could be used to express ability, possibility, permission or obligation. The passage above includes the modal verbs 'might,' 'should,' and 'could' to provide additional meaning to the main verb in the sentence. 

Grammar Exercise:
Circle the modal verbs in the following sentences. 
1. They might win their soccer game today. 
2. You should go to the doctor. 
3. She can speak another language.  
4. We should be prepared for the snow.  
5. He could go to the store later.
