Today we will start a new topic on page 140: Health and Lifestyle

We will look at the vocabulary on page 140 and complete the discussion questions in pairs. We will also complete the listening task on page 141.

We will revise different ways to show contrast and concession, and then complete the following speaking tasks:

  1. Are we too obsessed with healthy eating and physical fitness nowadays? Why/not?
  2. Which benefits do people get by doing exercise in the avoidance of stress?
  3. Are there times when it’s better to treat yourself rather than going to the doctor? Why/not?
  4. Some people say the government should take more responsibility to keep citizens healthy. What’s your opinion?
  5. Some people say that because of new working styles and the attitudes of large corporations, people suffer more stress than in the past. What do you think?

To finish class we will play a Bamboozle to learn some more vocabulary.
