ACTIVITY 2.

Pre Listening.

What do you think if the words “junk” food and “fast” food are synonyms or not?

Do you like junk food?

Have your parents ever told you that fast food and junk food is very harmful for your health?

Do you understand why it is harmful?

Useful tips: If you want, your students to speak more ask more “WHY” questions.

ACTIVITY 3

Listen to the extracts of the articles and match them with the headlines.

Are you afraid of heart disease?

Food for different cultures.

A “Happy” diet.

Tell me where you live, and I will tell you what you eat.

The role of enzymes.

a) Often the differences among cultures in the food they eat are related to the differences in geography and local resources. People who live near water tend to eat more fish. People who live in colder climates tend to eat heavier, fatty food. However, with the development of a global economy, food boundaries and differences are beginning to disappear.

b) British research has shown that poor quality foods and low levels of vitamins can cause aggressive, anti-social behaviour. Often the link between diet and behaviour is easily explained. The iron vitamin, for example, is needed to produce the enzymes which keep down the body’s adrenaline levels. Without those enzymes, excess adrenaline makes a person excitable and undisciplined. If someone goes without the proper vitamins all the time, their whole character may change.

c) The manner in which food is selected, prepared, presented, and eaten often differs by culture. One man’s pet is another person’s delicacy – dog, anyone? Americans love beef, yet it is forbidden to Hindus, while the forbidden food in the Moslem cultures is normally pork, eaten extensively by the Chinese and others.

d) Fatty food makes you fat because there are twice the number of calories in fatty foods as there are in starchy foods. And if you eat a lot of junk food, you are taking in too many heavy fats – that’s the animal fat which increases your cholesterol level and can lead to heart disease. This is especially dangerous for men and women after 45.

e) The food you eat influences your brain chemistry, so it’s important to eat plenty of foods that allow your brain make the chemicals serotonin and noradrenalin, which help fight depression. Nutrition consult Ian Marber says a change in diet works for 80 to 90 per cent of his clients who suffer from depression.

Useful tips: These texts can be either listened or read.

ACTIVITY 4

Post listening:

What deficiency of vitamins can lead to?

Do you agree that changing the diet we can become healthier?

Do you agree with me that if a man is healthy on the inside, it shows on the outside?

What does it mean “it shows on the outside”? Can you give some examples of the telltale signs?

Useful information: These are some examples of the telltale signs.

* White marks on the fingernails (not enough ZINK) include more mushrooms and brown rice in your diet.

* Problems with eyes (not enough vitamin A) include more carrots, eggs, and milk.

* Your skin is too dry (not enough VITAMIN E and C) eat citrus and grains.

* You have hair loss (not enough iron) include more nuts and meat in your diet.

What do you think if there is a link between the food you eat and your character?

How can you characterize a person who likes to eat sweet food (chilly food)? What can you tell about a person who is rather Picky in food? What character do people who are more interested in quantity than quality of food have?

ACTIVITY 5

Revision of the unreal conditional sentences.

If you were a vegetable or fruit what would you like to be. Why?

Useful tips: It will be better if you give the first example speaking about yourself.
