6.3. Write an essay of 300-350 words on a healthy life-style you think is the best. Focus on either healthy eating or exercises.

FOCUS 7. Discussion

7.1. Topics for Oral Discussion

Choose one of the points given below and discuss it with your group mates. Even if you do not share the view, try to support it and debate with others providing them with all possible arguments. Instead of beginning every sentence with “I think..”, use other expressions like “I believe”, “I suppose …”, “ My belief is…”, “ I reckon..” etc. – this would make your teacher absolutely happy.

1. This girl is a health food nut. She reads every food label, tries to buy only organic and when she sees her boy-friend munching a hot dog or enjoying a coke, she is horrified. She persuades him to eat healthily, however, he does not care about all this healthy style buzz.

Divide into two groups: one group will be the boy-friend’s advocate, the other group will support the girl’s views. Give your arguments.

2. Healthy food is really very boring and bland: boiled vegetables, no doughnuts, chocolates or pizza. It is impossible to eat only celery (сельдерей) and rice crackers all your life. Those who do that must be the unhappiest people in the world.

Be the junk food supporter! Explain why you believe it really does not matter what you eat.

3. Smoking is a very private matter. If one chooses to smoke – it is his/ her own choice. New rules introduced now in many European countries which prohibit smoking in restaurants, bars and some other public places are definitely severe and violate the smokers’ rights. People can’t enjoy their outings if they are not allowed to smoke.

What side are you on: poor smokers squeezed out from every public place or those you are happy they can enjoy a smoke-free environment?

7.2. Look into the following statements and agree or disagree with them.

  1. The human body was constructed for health and happiness.

  2. Health only comes from healthful living

  3. By controlling our thoughts we can feel happy all the time

  4. A human being can not do without eating animal products.

  5. Sports and exercises should be an integral part of a person’s life.
