[00:45.95]Section 2 While You Read

[00:51.20]Learning strategy 1:

[00:53.94]KNOWING DIFFERENT STYLES OF ENGLISH

[00:57.26]There are many styles of English:

[00:59.89]To learn to "speak" English,

[01:02.49]read plays and novels that contain spoken

[01:05.45]language.

[01:07.11]And to learn to "write" English,

[01:09.65]read newspaper articles.Notice the difference.

[01:14.50]I only eat food that tastes good.

[01:18.24]How important is keeping healthy to you?

[01:21.24]A group of young people got together to discuss

[01:23.80]this question.

[01:25.26]Here's part of their discussion 2.

[01:28.12]I'd like to stay healthy,but to be honest,

[01:31.27]I only eat food that tastes good.

[01:34.07]And if food tastes good,it's usually bad for you

[01:36.76]isn't it?

[01:37.98]Cola tastes better than water,for example.

[01:41.34]Well,food that is bad for you can taste good!

[01:44.83]But I prefer not to eat too much food that is

[01:47.69]fried,like,er,French fries.

[01:50.48]Do you eat fast food,Laura?

[01:52.76]Do I eat fast food?Never!

[01:55.97]I love to eat food that is healthy.

[01:58.89]I want to take care of my health,

[02:01.45]so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables.

[02:04.25]Oh,And I stay away from sugar,you do too,

[02:08.08]don't you?

[02:09.91]Hm,yes.And I think most people are in agreement

[02:13.62]that fruit and vegetables are good for health.

[02:16.73]But,um,I would say that fast food itself isn't

[02:20.64]always bad for you,but too much of it is not

[02:23.44]good.

[02:25.06]Actually,did you know that it's been found in

[02:27.75]laboratory testing that some types of oil are

[02:31.21]really bad for us?

[02:33.08]So I don't eat anything that's been cooked in

[02:35.72]oil.

[02:36.91]Also,did you know that some foods might cause

[02:40.14]cancer?Like burnt barbecued meat.

[02:43.91]I've heard eating burnt food like this can

[02:47.25]increase the risk of cancer.

[02:50.02]Really!But I love to eat meat that's well cooked

[02:53.34]even if it is a little burnt.

[02:55.15]It's delicious,and meat isn't really dangerous,

[02:58.17]is it?Oh,Yes,it is!I never eat meat.

[03:03.13]It's not at all good for our health.

[03:05.64]If I were you,I'd eat nuts instead.

[03:09.07]Well,I agree it's good to eat lots of fruit and

[03:11.85]vegetables,but I think it's also fine to eat

[03:14.96]some meat or fish.

[03:16.60]People who eat a balanced diet should be

[03:18.79]healthier than those who only eat biscuits and

[03:21.42]hamburgers,shouldn't they?

[03:23.58]I prefer to only eat food that I like,

[03:26.31]but isn't it important to eat food that's

[03:28.66]healthy,even if you don't like it?

[03:31.50]The main thing is to have a good balance.

[03:35.61]Section 3 After You Read

[03:39.36]3a Go through the conversation and find all the

[03:43.79]language that is only used when speaking.

[03:47.26]Add them to the chart below.

[03:50.59]3b Use the information from the conversation to

[03:55.42]match the statements 3 with each person.

[04:00.55]3c Write each type of food or drink from the

[04:05.66]reading in the correct column 4.

[04:08.77]Section 4 Go For It!

[04:12.27]Do a class survey to find out your classmates'

[04:15.80]diets.

[04:17.70]Check(√)each person's answer under the YES or

[04:21.43]NO column.

[04:23.24]Discuss the results of the survey.

[04:27.09]If you have time!

[04:29.58]Write a report of what was said in the

[04:32.19]discussion by Laura,Peter and Tony.

[04:36.85]Use words like "agree" and "disagree".

[04:41.18]Peter wants to stay healthy but he thinks food

[04:44.13]that tastes good is bad for you.

[04:46.69]Tony agrees...

[04:48.12]
