Dear Editor,
I was walking past a shop window the other day when I saw my reflection. At first, I didn’t realise it was me. When I saw it was me, I felt sad as I was overweight. I didn’t realise how I looked, and now I really want to change. I really like eating, but I realise I eat too much, and I don’t eat good things.
I want to change because I want to be able to look at myself and feel happy with how I look. I also want to be healthy.
My plan is to change my diet and exercise regularly. I will stop eating sugar, and only eat at mealtimes rather than eating snacks
during the day. I will focus on healthy foods. Then I will exercise every day. I will walk to school and back, and on the weekend, I will go swimming.
I have only been doing my plan for a week, but I’m already starting to feel better. I haven’t lost a lot of weight yet, but I feel positive. I feel confident that I will reach my goal!
Yours sincerely,
A. Smith

UNIT 2
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Give advice on changing bad habits
To discuss the choices or preferences that lead to bad habits
To learn to distinguish facts from opinions
To talk about bad habits and give some advice
To learn expressions on asking for and giving, accepting and refusing advice
Look at the pictures. What choices or preferences make it easier for people to develop these bad habits
What’s the person doing
What’s her/his problem
What’s the possible cause of her/his bad habit
What advice would you suggest to her/him
1. Choosing to stay up too late playing computer games can mean that one does not sleep enough.
2. Preferring to play games or use social media on phones can make it easier for people to use them too much.
3. Choosing to eat when one feels bored or depressed can lead to overeating.
4. Choosing to buy many things one wants and not things one needs can lead to overspending.
5. Staying up too late and not sleeping enough can lead one to drink too much coffee the next day.
You’re going to listen to a conversation. The main speaker is a doctor who just gave a talk to a class and now he is going to answer some questions from the students. What’s the conversation probably about
Listen to the conversation and complete the table below.
Information Student 1
Problem
Cue
Routine
Reward /
Has trouble sleeping because of using the phone before going to sleep
Going to bed
Don’t keep the phone in the room so you won’t pick it up before bed
Information Student 2
Problem
Cue
Routine
Reward /
Feels depressed about being a little overweight
Finishing dinner
Walk outside for just 5 minutes
1. Why is a good night’s sleep important for the first student
A good night’s sleep is important because it will help with their schoolwork.
2. Why does the second student never exercise
Because he always picks up his phone instead of exercising.
Listen again and answer these questions.
3. What is the expert’s bad habit Do you think it is a health problem
The expert drinks too much coffee. It can be a health problem because too much is bad for the heart and can cause headaches and other problems.
4. What would you advise the expert to do to control this habit
I would suggest that the expert change the habit slowly by drinking smaller cups of weaker coffee, and then try to change coffee for another drink. Later he should do more exercise as this can stimulate the body like coffee does but has more positive benefits.
It is important to know whether what the speakers say is a fact or an opinion. An opinion is a subjective statement and a fact is objective. A fact is what really is true, while an opinion is what you believe, often using phrases like “I think/believe”, “in my opinion”, “to me” and so on.
Distinguish facts from opinions
Decide whether these statements from the conversation are facts (F) or opinions (O). Discuss the opinions with a partner and see if you agree on them.
1. ____ It was a really interesting talk.
2. ____ It often takes me half an hour to fall asleep at night.
3. ____ You look tired. Not enough sleep, right
4. ____ It is affecting my schoolwork.
5. ____ I failed in all my school subjects this semester.
6. ____ I usually pick up my phone.
7. ____ I think the phone is the problem.
