T: You see that health is considered to be very important in people’s life. But we live in the polluted environment that makes a bad influence on our health. Can we do anything to keep fit and stay healthy? If so, what can we do?
Group 1 presents their project ‘Good Health Habits’.
Our health depends on many things: the food we eat, our good or bad habits, our physical activity.
In order to be healthy one should follow a healthy and balanced diet – eat food containing enough proteins, carbohydrates, fat, minerals and vitamins. It is useful to eat high-fibre food such as fruit and vegetables, wholemeal bread which are rich in vitamins, too. Try to eat more fish, sea-food and dairy products. Avoid snacks between meals and do not skip your breakfast.
One cannot stay healthy without physical activity. Do your morning exercises regularly. Attend your physical education lessons. Join any sports clubs. Going for walks in fresh air will also promote your health.
If you want to keep fit such bad habits as smoking, drinking alcohol or takings drugs are not for you.
It is easy to be active and healthy. All you need is just to want it!
4.
T: You said that a lot depends on food people eat. What food ingredients are necessary for health? (protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals and vitamins). Choose food products according to their main ingredients and say why they are necessary.
(Students work in four groups: group 1 chooses products containing protein, group 2 – carbohydrates, group 3 – vitamins, group 4 – fat).
(Food products to choose from: meat, carrots, cheese, bread, fish, butter, cucumbers, potatoes, lemons, oil, yoghurt, eggs, cabbages, cereals, sausages, sunflower seeds, berries, chocolate, nuts, sweets).
5.
People living in Norilsk travel by plane almost every year. On board the ship different dishes are served.
- What dishes are served on board a plane? (anticipating)
- Read the article about a meal on board a plane. What meal is served there? (reading for specific information)
The Worst Place for a Meal
A typical airline breakfast is a cheese omelette, croissant, bacon, and danish. That at least 900 calories, which is more than many people eat in a day and about twice as much as most people eat for breakfast.
Other typical airline meals include buttered vegetables, fried foods, and meats served with gravy. Although travellers complain about such food, most of them eat everything that is put in front of them.
3) This is the last paragraph of the article. Put the pieces of advice into logical order. (Use the following link-words: first, second, third, finally.) (understanding the organization of the text)
..., bring your own snack on board! Some fruit or a bag of popcorn is much lower in fat and calories than the peanuts they give to you.
And ..., drink milk, juice, or soda instead of an alcoholic beverage. You'll feel much better when you get off the plane!
..., ask the airline what special meals they serve. Many serve vegetarian and other types of special meals if you give them advance notice.
..., if you have a choice between meat and seafood, choose the seafood.
4) Read the menu which is given on board a plane.
Choose food appropriate for you. Remember the advice given. Explain your choice, (reading for specific information)
| Beverages |
|
| White and red wines Champagne, beers Soft drinks Coffee, tea |
Princess beans and creamed potatoes or Chicken "Piccata", tomatoes and buttered noodles Cheese & Bread Fruit "Swedish style" |
6.
At the end of this school year you are going to have exams. You are to keep to a healthy diet and to follow some rules not to feel tired and exhausted.
Group 2 presents their project ‘How to prepare for exams’.
Having exams is а difficult time in a teenager’s life, it is a stress situation for a student so you should organize your daily routine properly.
– First of all you should sleep enough – not less than 8-9 hours a day. There is a superstition that if you put a textbook under your pillow before an exam it will help you to pass it successfully.
– Then you should have periods of 10-15 minutes’ rest when reviewing a required material for an exam. Of course, it is better to study regularly during a school year and only to look through a textbook before an exam than to learn everything at once.
– Without any doubt healthy eating is necessary during an examination session.
– Try to eat fruit and vegetables as much as possible, drink natural juice.
– Before cramming it is good to eat currents with sour cream or oil. As you know, fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins which strengthen your immune system.
– Nuts and strawberry help to overcome nervousness and activate brain work.
– Eat dried apricots, raisins, beens, cottage cheese. Very useful are dishes from seafood, especially from squids.
– Between meals drink a lot of herbal tea and water. An effective invigorating means is caraway tea. On an exam day take a bar of chocolate to school. It is a source of energy.
– Happy tickets and good luck at your exams!

A very popular place among the youth of Talnakh is the skating-rink “Umka”.Ice-skating develops equilibrium. It makes you bright and cheerful.
