Un
Unit2 Healthy eating it
Period one Warming up
Teaching aim:
To appreciate what a balanced diet is.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1. Lead in
Hello, everyone! Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic---Health Eating. Before our beginning, please write down what you each think about making a healthy meal, whether you eat a healthy diet, and whether you know that the food you eat helps you grow in different ways. As you’re ready, compare your idea with your partner. And then, we’ll invite some pair s of you to give us your ideas.
Classify food according to their functions and fill in the form.
Foods to give energy Foods to grow bones
and muscle
(body-building foods) Foods that give fiber for digestion and health (protective food)
Fast energy food Slow energy food rice
noodles bread ……butter
…….
meat
eggs
milk
…….
all vegetables
all fruit
…….
Step 2. Discussion
Ask Ss to work the following questions out in groups and let them become familiar with the contents of each one.
Questions: 1. Why do you think the food is divided into different groups?
2. How does this information help you make a healthy meal?
Step 3. Analysing
Now, please design a meal which they enjoy. And then analyse your meal according to the categories of food set out in the textbook.
1.Is their meal balanced?
2.Does it include food from each of the three categories? What (if anything) is missing? Step 4. To examine the answers.
The first three questions are all persons. But the forth question is not. (What will happen to you if you don’t eat a balanced diet?)
Suggested answers: if you eat too much energy-giving foods you will become fat and suffer from high blood pressure; if you eat too much body-building food you will grow taller and stronger but not necessarily healthier; if you eat too much protective foods for every meal you may lack energy. However without protective food(over a long period of time) you can get serious illnesses like scurvy(lack of vitamin C) or rickets(lack of vitamin D); if you don’t eat enough food of any of the three kinds you may get anorexia(too thin).
Step 5. Homework: Write down more you know about diet.
Period two Reading
Teaching aims:
1.Enable Ss to become more aware of the difficulties associated with prepared foods.
2.Help Ss know the harms of unbalanced diets.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1. Pre-reading
1. Discuss in groups
Work out what nutrition they have
Which food contains more…?Examples of foods Answer
sugar chocolate or grapes
cakes or bananas
fat cream or rice
chocolate or chicken
fibre peas or nuts
Pork or cabbage
protein potato crisps or ham
eggs or cream
2. Thinking
1) What do you think should go into a good meal?
2) Imagine you and your partner are going to invite some friends for dinner. What special food of your place would you offer them? Plan a menu.
Answers: 1) A good meal should contain some food from each of the three categories above.
2) Sample dialogue:
S1: Now our favourite dishes in my hometown involve noodles. What abut you?
S2: Well, I like noodles too, so let’s use that for the energy-giving part of our dinner.
S1: What do you like to eat with noodles?
S2: My favourite sauces are spicy ones. So let’s suggest noodles with spicy tofu. That’s very healthy and contains some of the body-building food too. Now we just need to include the protective food.
S1: Yes, you’re right. Now what about vegetables? They’re protective food and I think beans are nice with some sour and spicy sliced potato.
S2: Sounds fun to me. Let’s write it down…

6. Listening text
How an unbalanced diet can affect your health
Wang Peng went to the library, where he happened to meet an expert on diets. He asked him for help.
WP= Wang Peng E=Expert
WP: Hello. Can you help me, please? I want to find out more about balanced diets.
E: Of course. A balanced diet needs energy food like rice and noodles, body-building food like fish and meat for protein and fat, and protective food like fruit and vegetables for fibre and vitamins.
WP: Yes, but does it matter how much rice, noodles and sugar I eat?
E: Yes. If you eat too much, you may become obese. This means you are too fat and it may lead to other illnesses. However, if you don’t eat enough rice, noodles or sugar, you’ll get tired easily.
WP: I see. I’ll be careful about that. Does it matter how much fish, meat or cheese I eat?
E: Too much can also make you fat, but if you don’t eat enough, your bones won’t grow stron g.
A long time ago, children who didn’t eat enough vitamin D and body-building food didn’t grow straight legs. They got an illness called rickets.
WP: Oh dear! Do people still have the problem?
E: Sometimes.
WP: Then what about fruit and vegetables? How much should I eat?
E: You ought to eat abut five big spoonfuls of different fruit and vegetables every day.
WP: Really? I didn’t know that.
E: Yes. In the 18th century sailors at sea used to find that their teeth fell out and they had bad spots on their ski n. They got it because they didn’t eat enough fruit and vegetables. The illness is called scurvy.
WP: Goodness! What about now?
E: It’s very rare now. People eat more fruit and vegetables. You need protective food like that for clear skin and bright eyes.
P: Thank you very much. You have given me a lot to think about.
Step 3. Reading and discussing
https://www.doczj.com/doc/249007054.html,nguage points

Why don’t you give it a try? (Why not give it a try?) 为什么不试试？
Why don’t you call hi m right now? (Why not call him right now?) 为什么不立刻给他打个电话？
4) Don’t you get tired quickly? 你不觉得自己很容易疲倦吗？

2.Skimming
Ask Ss to look at the title and picture. How do they think the story ends? How and why do Wang Peng and Yong Hui get married? Let them skim the reading passage quickly to see if they were right.
3.Discussion
Read the passage again and underline all the different words that are used instead of “said”. Answers: shouted, added, admitted, explained
4. Read the passage carefully to work out the meaning of the new words. Encourage them to use the context method and guessing the meaning before looking the words up in the dictionary.
5. Let some students make some sentences using these words. Perhaps you can give them a short passage and ask them to replace the word “said” with more interesting and lively words.
A possible passage:
The man pushed his chair angrily away from the table. “What do you mean?” he said. “I didn’t come into this restaurant to be overcharged!” The hostess looked embarrassed. “I’m so sorry you feel like that,” she said. “It’s the cost of the fish that you ordered. At the time I explained the pric e for each jin and you agreed. I didn’t know you’d feel like this!” The man pulled his money out of his pocket. “And what’s more,” he said. “it didn’t taste very nice. Was it fresh?” “It was dried fish, so I’m not sure,” she said. “I won’t come here again,” said the man to himself. “I won’t serve him again,” said the hostess to herself.
Step 3. Speaking and writing
1. In groups of four ask the students to make a list of their favourite local dishes.
2. Ask Ss to combine their lists and vote for the three or fur local dishes that they think best represent the local cooking.
3. Imaging you are planning to open a restaurant which will provide the best local dishes in your area and a balanced diet. In groups discuss how to run the business. Give each other suggestions and advice. The following expressions may help you.
How a person spoke
Why a person spoke shouted thought called explained added admitted
They can add: whispered smiled laughed cried They can add: agreed wondered advised replied
What should we do?
Shall we …? How about …?
You must/mustn ’t..
I think you ought to …
Sample dialogue:
S1: What kind of food should our local restaurant serve?
S2: Well, our favourite local dishes are dumplings and beef noodle soup.
S3: Right. That sounds like a good start. Let’s use them as a basis for our menu.
S4: OK. If we serve dumplings we need to inspire people to come to our restaurant. How can we do that?
S1: We can tell them how fresh our dishes are. They need to know that we make fresh dumplings every day and use fresh beef to make our beef noodle soup.
S3: What about showing them the bones in a pot outside the restaurant? Then they’ll know that we use fresh beef for our soup.
S4: Good idea! Also let’s keep our restaurant doors open so the customers passing by can smel l our delicious food. Then they’ll want to come in.
S2: Remember about a balanced diet. Do dumplings and beef noodle soup provide a balanced diet?
S1: No. We don’t have any protective food. So we need to include salads like cold cucumber salad in our menu. Is there anything else we need?
S3: I don’t think so. Now let me write this all down so that we can write a good advertisement for our new restaurant.
4. Write a short passage to advertise your restaurant and its service according to the following:
1) explain what kind of food will be offered in your restaurant
2) describe their ingredients, flavour, smell and appearance
3) explain how they will provide a balanced diet
4) explain why your restaurant will provide the best food in the area
