NI 1: Module 6. Lesson 2: Food and diet

First, have a look at what we have from last year:

*** Food and diet

*** Have you ever heard about "teachers.tv"? If you have to teach your subject in English (P.E.,Maths, Geography, ICLT (Information Communication Learning Technologies), Science, English, etc.), you will find this page very useful. You can visit their main page:
http://www.teachers.tv/

Today, as we are dealing with "food", I have decided to include a link to a video about a chef and its students. Interesting to watch!
Have a look at it!


*** Are you a healthy eater?
Read the opinions and listen to the included BBC podcast. You can also read the tapescript (Remember that the opinions may be in broken English and that the tapescript is not 100% exact in correspondance to what the speakers say!)

PHOTOCOPY GIVEN IN CLASS

*** What is a low-carb diet?
Listen to this BBC podcast. Learn the new vocabulary. You can also read the tapescript (Remember that the tapescript is not 100% exact in correspondance to what the speakers say!)

*** Fit or fat?
Doctors in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.

Does this problem also happen in Spain? Discuss it in class. First, read the opinions of people who took part in the task at BBC web page. You can also search through the given related links.

HAVE A LOOK AT THIS PHOTOCOPY IF YOU CAN'T COME TO CLASS, but you'll need to go to the sources so as to listen to it. Try not to read the text before doing the listening task!
