Step Ⅱ Part 1
Read the title to the students first and ask them to predict what they think the article is about based on the title. Say,
Look at the two pictures on this page.
Try to say something about them to tell what is happening. Then ask two students to describe the pictures to the class. Correct the sentences if they’ve made some mistakes.
Read the instructions for Activity I to the students. Be sure they know what to do. Go over the five questions with them and choose five students to answer them individually. Then ask them to work in pairs, discussing the five questions. The answers will vary. Tell them not to look at the reading and give the answers by themselves before they begin. As students work, walk around the classroom, listen to them and offer any help they may need.
When all the pairs finish discussing, ask one or two pairs to ask and answer the questions. The others listen to them to see if they’ve made any mistakes and help them to correct their sentences.
Step Ⅲ Part 2
T Draw students’ attention to the instructions and read the instructions to them. Tell them. You are asked to read the passage quickly and make it clear—what healthy food and junk food are.
Say, Look at the chart in Activity 2,let’s see the examples first. Are you sure what you will do? Yes, read the text quickly and find out the answers to the chart.
Let them read and fill in the forms. After they’ve all finished, have them discuss the lists with their partners, and cheek the answers with each other.
Encourage students to report their answers with complete sentences. Ask one to report to the class. For example, One healthy food is fresh fruits.
Step Ⅳ Part 3
Say, we can see there are some words indicated in bold in the article. Let’s guess the meanings of them first. Then ask several ones to guess the meanings of the bold words, but just guess, don’t give them the correct answers.
Say, Do you know how you can be happy?
Read the article and you’ll know that.
Please begin reading it now. Try to guess the meanings of the bold words in context.
Have them to read the article to get the answer and try to get the meanings of the words in bold at the same time. Tell them to try to get the meanings in context this time. After they’ve all finished reading the passage once, ask the question, How can you be happy? The students may answer, It’s easy. Stop eating junk food, get more sleep, and exercise three times a week. Start today.
Next read the instructions in Activity 3 to the students. Tell them that they have two tasks now—match the words and expressions with their meanings and make sentences with the words and expressions.
First let the students match the words to meanings individually. Then check for answers to ensure that students understand the task. At last, let the children make sentences with the words and expressions. If they feel it hard to do, try to find the sentences with the words in the article and make similar ones by themselves.
Work in pairs. Ask several students to read their sentences to the class. Correct any mistakes as necessary.
Step Ⅴ Part 4
Read the instructions to the students. Ask the first question as a sample and ask one to answer it. Have the students read the article again and get the answers to the five questions by themselves.
Check the answers by asking different students to answer the questions. Answers may vary slightly.
Say, You should try to remember the answers before looking at the reading. Then let them ask and answer the questions in pairs.
Step Ⅵ 5a
Read the task with the students. Draw the students’ attention to the chart with the headlines Exercises. Healthy food and Junk food.
Ask, Have you done any exercise in the last three days? What exercise have you done? Get one of the students to answer the questions. Tell them exercise can be as simple as going for a long walk.
Students ask similar questions on all the three headlines in pairs. And fill in the forms with their own answers. Ask several children to report the answers to the class. After that ask them if they think about eating less junk food and getting more exercise.
Step Ⅶ 5b
Read the task to the students. Make sure they can understand the instructions. Let them discuss in fours. After a while, ask them about the results to check the answers. Ask each group to vote on the healthiest student and let that student explain why he or she is so healthy to the class.
