Guideline for summers
Welcome to our slimming club! Here are a few hints to help you succeed in your diet - please read them carefully and make them part of your daily routine.
Eating
Eat only the food listed on your diet sheet, and remember to weigh everything carefully before each meal. Make sure you start the day with a good, healthy breakfast, and be careful not to miss a meal, otherwise you may be tempted to eat snacks between meals.
Drinks
You can drink as much tea and coffee as you like, but remember that a lot of soft drinks are fattening. Try a low-colorie drink instead.
Restaurants
Wherever possible, avoid eating fried foods. If you know that will be difficult, try to eat less at other meals that day!
Exercise
This is a very important part of any diet. You should take at least 30 minutes' energetic exercise each day. Choose something you like - swimming, dancing, gardening - and get into the habit of doing some every day!
Checking your weight
It is a good idea to weigh yourself at the same time of day each week. Remember to keep a weekly record of you weight so that you can see how much progress you are making.
Look at the guidelines for slimmers and pick out advice language.
Writing B. Use the text GUIDELINES FOR SLIMMERS as a model and write
A set of guidelines for your friend who wants to keep always fit. Some examples of useful language are shown in the box below.
-
You should/ ought to…
It is a good idea to…
Don’t forget to …
Remember to…
Make sure you…
Don’t be afraid to…
Try to avoid –ing…
Don’t…or you will…
You shouldn’t…
Be careful not to…
C. Interview a top model. Ask her what kind of diet she follows.
Ex. 17 A. Read the report below and underline expressions connected to 'quantity'. The first one has been done for you.
According to a recent Health Authority survey, eating habits among the great majority of teenagers are changing for the better. However, the habit of eating too many sweet foods still persists. The report found that a third of 11-year-old boys and two-thirds of 11-year-old girls are on a diet. However, two out of three boys still eat fried food at least every other day, although a staggering seventy-five per cent now prefer to eat healthier cereal and wholemeal bread for breakfast rather than the traditional British "fry-up". In addition, almost all young people appear to be cutting down on food such as hamburgers and sausages. Nevertheless, over half of those interviewed still eat meat every day.
The report concluded that, despite much more awareness of healthier eating among the 11-16 age group, sweet snacks are still the weakness for most young people. Four out of five teenagers still find fizzy drinks, crisps and chocolate irresistible, and hardly any of the teenagers said they would give them up.
Writing B. Write a sentence to summarise the main argument in the report.
C. Circle the linking expressions (connectives) which connect the ideas in one
sentence with the ideas in another.
D. Write a short report using the information you collected in your Eating survey. Begin like this:
In a survey of... (say how many) people from ... (say which countries or how many countries) on ... (say what the survey was about) we found that in our class ... (give a brief summary of the results).
Use expressions from the example report and any of the following expressions:
most of us/ most people
nearly all of us/ nearly everybody
none of us /nobody
hardly any of us/ hardly anybody
a few people/ some of us
about half /a quarter/ a third

Text A Kerrv 's point of view
“A diet with meat in it is lot healthier than a vegetarian one”, says Kerry. Vegetarians always look a bit skinny and I should imagine a lot of them miss out on their protein. I mean you don’t get much protein from vegetables and fruit, do you? And lots of them need to take vitamin tablets and things. I’ve never considered becoming a vegetarian. I love meat and I’ll eat any kind – except possibly rabbit. That’s because I see rabbits as pets, whereas a cow isn’t and my father brings a lot of rabbits home to chop up and eat and that puts me off a bit. I’d eat rabbit if it was already chopped up and came ina packet, but I don’t like seeing animals killed. I think being a vegetarian is a bit half-hearted, to tell you the truth. A bit hypocritical. You should either be a complete vegan or a meat-eater. Lots of vegetarians wear leather and it seems to me as if they can’t make up their minds. The only stand I make is to wear fur. I’d never wear a fur jacketbecause certain animals are killed for their fur and nothinf else. If you kill a cow, you eat the meat and wear the skin. That’s OK because it’s natural for humans to eat meat. Animals kill animals and humans are animals - so they kill animals to stay alive. Vegetarians tend to learn all there is to know about vitamins and all that, but I don't really think about food that much. I just eat what my parents eat. I can understand people wanting to save animals, because I love animals myself, but killing animals for meat doesn't strike me as being wrong. It's not as if the animals are tortured or anything - it's just one shot. That's it. Anyway, I don't see an animal on a plate when I have some meat. I don't think of it like that. I just like my meat that's all.
Complete these sentences: a) Kerry thinks it's healthier to eat meat because .... b) She won't eat rabbit, unless it's chopped up, because ... c) She thinks vegetarians are hypocritical because a lot of them ... d) She feels strongly about fur because e) She is happy to eat meat because ... Now work with someone who read about Helen's point of view to find out:
a) when Helen gave up eating meat, and why b) what her parents said and did c) what kind of animals she thinks are the worst to eat d) what kind of food she eats e) how she feels about being vegetarian

Text В Helen's point of view
Helen has been a vegetarian for a year and a half. ”It happened all of a sudden,” she says. “I just couldn’t eat meat any more. It made me feel sick. I suddenly thought of it as eating an animal, like a piece of cow, instead of a piece of beef. I did have a few meat meals during the first few weeks, but I felt so incredibly guilty and ashamed afterwards that I soon stopped. I wouldn’t eat meat now if you paid me. When I told my mum I wanted to be a vegetarian, she went, “No, no, no.” but I talked to dad and he said I could; I got round them by telling them I’d probably be sick if they gave me meat. Mum took me to the doctorwho gave me loads of advice, and I’ve felt fine ever since. I’ve got thinner, but that’s OK by me. I gave up meat because I think it’s wrong to kill animals. Chickens and turkeys are the worst – it’s easier to imagine them as whole animals. I eat eggs and cheese, but we have our own chickens so the eggs are free-range. Some vegetarian foods annoy me, like when they are col beef or something, because that's imitating meat which is nearly as bad as having the real thing. I don't find vegetarian food boring though. School's no problem either because they always have a soya meal for the vegetarians. I do get a bit of stick from my friends about my beliefs. They say, "I'll get you a pig's heart for Christmas." But it can be a bit annoying sometimes because I'm always trying to convert them. I try not to, but it's difficult. I feel so strongly about vegetarianism and I'm convinced it's a healthier way of life. I feel really proud because turning vegetarian is a big decision to make. You do feel so much better inside for doing it, though. To be honest, I don't know how people can't feel guilty tucking into a big, juicy steak.
Complete these sentences: a) Helen became a vegetarian because ... b) She persuaded her parents to agree by ... c) She eats ...
Now work with somebody who read about Kerry's point of view to find out: a) why Kerry feels that eating meat is healthier b) if she eats all kinds of meat c) if she wears fur d) how she can eat animals when she's an animal lover |
