Procedure
Beginning
1.Greeting.
Teacher: Good morning, dear friends! How are
you?
Students: –
I’m fine/O.K. I feel perfect/nice…
Teacher: I’m glad to see you healthy and in
good mood. Dear friends, we’re going to have an interesting lesson. A correspondent
of a local newspaper is our guest today. He’d like to ask you a few questions
about your preferences in food.
2.
Role-playing.
Correspondent: Good morning, dear friends! Could
you answer my questions?
Students: With pleasure. Why not?
Correspondent: Did you have breakfast today?
Student 1: Yes, of course.
Correspondent: What did you have for breakfast
today?
Student 1: I had bacon with eggs and a cup of
coffee.
Correspondent: What do you like for
breakfast?
Student 2: I like two eggs, some milk and
tea.
Correspondent: What do you like for lunch?
Student 3: I like a plate of soup, some fish
and cake.
Correspondent: What do you like for dinner?
Student 4: I prefer mashed potatoes, soup and
meat.
Correspondent:
What do you like for supper?
Student 5: I like some cheese, some bread and
ham.
Teacher: Thanks a lot. Now answer my
question, please. Why do people eat? What do you think?
Student 1: People eat to live.
Student 2: They eat to be strong and healthy.
Student 3: They need energy to have a sound
mind in a sound body.
Teacher: Right you are. If we don’t eat, we’ll die.
3.Warm up. Proverbs
and quotes about food.
Teacher: As you can guess the topic of our lesson is
“Food and Health”. I should say that food has always paid much attention to and
there are a lot of proverbs and quotes about it. Please, look at the computer
screen. Someone has modified the list of proverbs and created strange sayings.
Can you fit them back together again correctly.
·
An
apple a day lessen your meal.
·
The
way to man’s heart keeps the doctor away.
·
To
lengthen your life, is through his stomach.
·
Tastes
not to live.
·
We
eat to live, differ.
·
You
are what you eat.
Teacher:
“You are what you eat” is an American saying. What does it mean?
Student 1: It means that food is fuel and our
minds and bodies depend on it to be healthy.
Student 2:
It means that we need energy to be healthy.
Student 3: Not just any food will do. A
bad diet can be positively unhealthy.
Student 4:
The saying means that our lifespan depend on food we
eat.
Teacher:
Exactly.
4. Brainstorming.
Teacher: It’s time to split into two groups and
brainstorm the ideas giving positive and negative adjectives describing food.
5. Making a
decision. Group work.
Teacher: In groups make a decision if the food you see
on the computer screen healthy, unhealthy or tasty. Be ready to speak about a hot
dog, a chicken soup and a vegetable salad.
( Presentation of groups)
Group 1. A hot dog is considered to be fast
food. It means it’s tasty but not healthy. Fast food is usually high in fat and
low in vitamins and minerals. People eat it in a hurry. When you are in a hurry
you eat more. It leads to obesity, dental problems and heart diseases.
Group 2. Chicken soup is tasty and healthy.
It’s cooked with meat and vegetables. So, it contains a lot of vitamins,
minerals and proteins.
Group 3. Vegetable salad is healthy as well
as nourishing, tasty and nice to eat. It’s high in vitamins, minerals and
fibre. It’s low in fats.
6. Game
association.
Teacher: Please, look at the words. What can you say
about them? Don’t forget to use conditional sentences where possible. The
speech patterns are in front of you, on the computer screen.
Student 1:
If we add these items to dishes, they taste delicious.
Student 2: If we didn’t add them to different dishes, they would be tasteless.
Student 3: We can’t imagine our diet without these items.
Student 4: If we didn’t add them to dishes, they wouldn’t have such a delicate flavor.
Student 5: However, we should be rather careful with these ingredients. They are harmful, if they are added in large quantities.
Student 2: If we didn’t add them to different dishes, they would be tasteless.
Student 3: We can’t imagine our diet without these items.
Student 4: If we didn’t add them to dishes, they wouldn’t have such a delicate flavor.
Student 5: However, we should be rather careful with these ingredients. They are harmful, if they are added in large quantities.
Teacher: Thanks a lot. You know, we’re living in the
world where soya, artificial additives and highly processed food are becoming
more and more popular. Besides, scientists say that eating meat is bad for our
health and with the development of genetic engineering we can find new foods on
the shelves of the supermarkets. Do we know what we are eating? Today we’re
going to answer the question:
Does our health depend on food we eat?
I invite you to take part in the work of our
discussion club. I’d like to draw your attention to the basket for food. It’s
empty now. At the end of our discussion be ready to “produce” the decision and
fill the basket with food which you think is good for our health.
Remember the rules of the discussion and useful
phrases to express your opinion. They are on the screen.

8. Discussion
club.
Leader: I’m glad to meet you in our discussion club.
Today we’re assembled here to discuss the problem which is of vital importance
for every human being. What is better for us – natural rood or food of the
future? We have to ask ourselves a question: “ Do we know what we are eating?”
To help us in the discussion we invited two dietologists and two experts who
work thoroughly on this problem. Meet Doctor Omnivorous and Professor
Tendereater.
Doctor
Omnivorous: Nice to meet you!
Professor
Tendereater: Glad to see you!
Leader: I
remind the audience that while discussing the problems you have to put down
questions and answer them. So, what is the food our minds and bodies need?
Should we ban food additives and return to a simpler, more natural way of
producing food? To begin with let the Dietologists tell about the main original
sources of food.
Dietologists:
( Make presentation “ Plant and Animal
Food”).
Leader: Thank you for your presentations. Dear
friends, what kind of food do you prefer: plant or animal? What food do you eat
most often?
Student 1: Naturally, different foods contain different
amounts and combinations of six components. Some are high in protein or
carbohydrates, for example, while others are low in fiber or fats. So, I try to
keep a balanced diet. I mean, I eat plant as well as animal food.
Student 2: ....
Leader: Now, let our experts express their views on the problem.
Student 2: ....
Leader: Now, let our experts express their views on the problem.
Professor
Tendereater: You are
what you eat. I think this saying has sense. I am a supporter of low fat and
low cholesterol food. I am a vegetarian. I don’t eat meat and fish. There is
enough other nutritious food to keep us healthy and wise.
Doctor Omnivorous: As for me,
I’m a supporter of good quality food, no matter whether it’s meat, fish or
vegetables.
Leader: Please, ask questions to the
experts.
Question 1 ( from the audience): What
is the use of fiber for our health?
Professor
Tendereater: It helps our digestive system to work properly
and protects it against diseases such as cancer. Adults need 300 gr of fiber
per day. Here is a list of food which has a high fiber content: vegetables,
nuts, cereals, beans, fruit, wholesome bread and pasta.
Question 1 ( from the audience): Why
is animal fat bad for our health?
Dietologist
1: Fat contains a lot of calories and cholesterol. It
can gradually start to block your arteries. The result is a heart attack.
Dietologist
2: I see your point. Small amount of fat is good for you,
especially fat from dairy products and poultry. Since we live in cold climate
in winter, fat is necessary for us. It helps to keep the body warm.
Leader:
People argue if it’s necessary to eat meat. Let’s learn more about it from the
magazine article.
9.Reading. Article
“ Meat is a Murder”
Task 1 (Students work in groups)
Teacher:
Dear friends, seven sentences have been taken out of the article. To understand
the information you need to complete the article with the sentences (A-H).
Task 2.
Group
1. Look through the article once
again and say what reasons for becoming a vegetarian are. Group
2. What arguments for being a
vegetarian are mentioned in the article?
Group3.
What arguments are against being a
vegetarian?
( Students’ answers)
Question3: Professor Tendereater, you are a vegetarian.
Don’t you feel lack of protein?
Professor Tendereater: People always
ask me this question. The answer is positively “no”. My main sources of protein
are beans, soya and nuts. A diet with too much protein may be bad too.
Question3:
Doctor Omnivorous, have you ever thought to be a vegetarian? Why is
being a vegetarian a bad idea?
Doctor
Omnivorous: People need to enjoy meat. I think it’s difficult to
substitute it. Humans have eaten meat for millions of years and we have teeth
specially designed for eating meat
Dietologist1: I
want to add that food must obligatory contain six contents: carbohydrates,
proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats and fiber. Only when you are omnivorous you
can provide yourself with all of them.
( Answers from the audience ).
Student 1: I
don’t agree with what vegetarians say. Killing animals for food is cruel but
what about human suffering? Being a vegetarian doesn’t solve the problem. If
everybody stops eating meat, farmers will lose jobs.
Leader: I have a question to the audience. Is it
possible for everyone to follow the vegetarian diet and is it necessary to do
so?
Student 2: I
believe there two sides of one medal. To be a vegetarian can have its
advantages and disadvantages. I am sure it’s not possible for everyone to
follow such a diet. If people have certain health problems, it cannot be
advisable for them to keep it. In any case you should consult a doctor.
Question 5: Is it true that if in future people eat less
they will live longer?
Professor
Tendereater
: The human lifespan could be extended, if calories are
cut. Research has shown that a strict diet not only increases lifespan – it
cuts disease.
: The human lifespan could be extended, if calories are
cut. Research has shown that a strict diet not only increases lifespan – it
cuts disease.
Student 3:
I’m going to live to 140. I know that t’s a widely prevocational thing to say.
I believe that caloric restriction will put me in a position of taking
advantages of all new things that are going to expend our lives.
Student 4:
Our food traditions have been cultivated for ages. A person should taste as
much food as possible during his or her life. All you need to know is a simple
fact: avoid what is bad for you! You are an individual and choose your food
individually.
Doctor
Omnivorous: To my mind, our task is to create new more
nutritious, healthier and with more vitamins food to make our bodies resistant
to diseases. We should create food which will be on guard of our life. I mean,
genetically modified food.
Question 6: What is genetic food?
Doctor Omnivorous: In an attempt to create
nicer-looking, longer-lasting and more nutritional food scientists have
developed the genetic structure of foods such as fruit and vegetables, soya and
corn. GMF is created by taking DNA from one organism and putting it into
another.
Question 7:
Many people feel that there has not been enough research done into this genetic
change and that our entire food chain can be in danger. Is it true?
Professor
Tendereater: Once released in environment genetic mistakes cannot
be cleaned up, but will be passed on to all future generations.
: Once released in environment genetic mistakes cannot
be cleaned up, but will be passed on to all future generations.
Leader: Do we want to eat GMF? I invite you to listen
to the conversation between Tom and Jan and learn their opinion on the subject.
10. Listening
Teacher:
Listen to the conversation and decide who has these opinions – Tom or Jan.
(Students have the list of opinions on their desks).
The list of opinions.
1.
I would never buy tomatoes of a big
size.
2.
GMF could solve the problem of the
world hunger.
3.
GM cows, producing a lot of milk is
nonsense.
4.
People can’t say no to all new
things.
5.
Creating new foods is a progress.
6.
People in developing countries don’t
have enough to eat but GMF is not the right decision.
Teacher:
Listen to the conversation once again and answer the question:
Are Tom and Jan strongly in favor, strongly
against or in favor but with reservations? Why?
(Students listen and answer the question).
Teacher:
What about us? Do we want to eat GMF?
(Answers from
the audience)
Student 1: I
don’t think it’s good to eat artificial food. It threatens our health. As we’ve
just heard consumers in Europe are against it. They want any genetic food to be
labeled. I completely agree with them.
Student 2: I
know that potatoes have been engineered with chicken genes to increase
resistance to diseases and tomatoes have fish genes added to make them less
delicate in the cold temperatures of fridge. To my mind, it’s disgusting. I’m
strongly against GMF.
Student 3:
I’m sure that GMF will improve our health, stop the world hunger and help us to
achieve better environment. It’s a great idea to make products stronger, better
and bigger.
Doctor
Omnivorous: I see the advantages of producing vegetables
with more vitamins, rice with more protein, lower fat products and crisps made
from potatoes that don’t soak up as much oil.
Professor
Tendereater: Genetic engineering is just like speeding up
nature. Consumers shouldn’t be guinea
pigs for untested food substances. If GMF
gets into the natural chain uor natural species will be in danger –
imagine a GM fish that is 50% bigger and eats 50% more food.
Leader: I
think it’s really hard to decide what food is better for future generations
when experts can’t agree on the food of the future. Through the centuries
people have been looking for the ways of keeping fit and healthy, thinking of
and passing on from generation to generation some useful advice. Let’s give
some general advice to each other concerning food. Use the words and phrases:
to keep fit to
be in perfect condition
to
feel well
to be healthy and strong
to have stomach troubles to be a real picture of health to be pretty fit to be in pretty good shape
( Students
give advice one by one and fill the basket with food).
·
I think if you get plenty of variety
in your diet, you’ll be healthy and strong.
·
To keep fit eat more vegetables and
fruit and less sugar, salt and fat.
·
I am sure if you check the content
labels on packets and tins to see what they actually contain, you’ll get only
healthy food.
·
If you avoid fast food, microwave
meals and unhealthy snacks, you’ll be a real picture of health.
·
Part of the secret of success in life
is to eat what you like and let your food fight it out inside you. Enjoy your food!
·
Teacher:
As we can see the basket is full with different kinds of food. It means that we
must eat everything but in moderation. I’d like to finish our discussion with
the words said by Hippocrates:
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest
of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
Motivation of
marks.

assignment:
Teacher: I
hope you’ve found the discussion interesting and got some useful information
from it. So, your home task is to write an essay to the newspaper on the topic
“ Healthy food of the future”.
