3a Look at these two shapes. Individually, match each invented name (1–2) and type of food (3–4) to one of the shapes. Then ask others. Do you have the same answers? 1 bouba 2 kiki 3 milk chocolate 4 lemon 3b Complete the text with the present simple or present continuous form of the verbs given. Can shapes have sounds and flavours? Attention, please! (a) you (look) at the two shapes carefully? What (b) you (think) is the name of shape A? There (c) (not be) a correct answer. But 95% of people answering the question (d) (believe) the answer is kiki. Kiki (e) (sound) like ‘key’ and keys are angular, like shape A. And the letter K (f ) (look) angular, too. I know what you (g) (think) right now. What if your first language isn’t English? (h) you (have) the same answer, that shape A is kiki? The answer is probably yes. And B is bouba, right? Maybe it’s because bouba (i) (sound) round. Your lips ( j) (be) round when saying the word ‘bouba’. Now, what about food? A lot of people (k) (think) that milk chocolate (l) (belong) with shape B. It (m) (seem) that the round shape goes best with sweet flavours. Right at this moment, I (n) (have) a fizzy drink and it (o) (feel) exactly like the kiki shape on my tongue! So, yes, strange but true – shapes can have sounds and flavours! 4 Read the text and choose the correct alternatives. Then answer the questions in the text. Culture exchange Onomatopoeia Right now, I (a) sit/am sitting in my attic. While I (b) write/am writing this, I can hear a dog. What sound (c) does it make/is it making ? The sound that all dogs (d) make/are making , of course! Woof, woof. Wait! (e) Do dogs go/Are dogs going woof in your language? ‘Woof’ is an onomatopoeic word – a word that (f ) sounds/is sounding like the sound it refers to. Look at some other onomatopoeic words in English. What (g) do you think/are you thinking (h) makes/is making these sounds? Are the sounds the same in your language? atishoo beep beep buzz cock-a-doodle-doo ding dong fizz screech splash tick-tock
