Unit 2　Healthy eating

Period 4　Using language: Listening and speaking

整体设计

教材分析

This is the fourth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher will first get students to review what they learned in the last period, and then lead in the new lesson.

We will mainly deal with listening and speaking in this period. At the beginning, students listen to a dialogue between Wang Peng and an expert. Make sure students go through the exercises before they listen to the tape. This is to sharpen their attention and listen for the answers. This will also help them get the gist of the listening text. The teaching procedures may be as follows: First, let students go through the exercises and guess the listening text may be about. Play the tape for students to listen to and decide whether their guessing is right. Second, ask them to listen again for them to do Exercise 3. Third, let them listen a third time to check their answers. While they are listening, the teacher should pause and repeat the key sentences to help students understand. After listening, let them work in pairs and finish Exercise 4. When checking the answers, explain some difficult listening points if necessary. In the end, show them the listening text and let them read and retell it. This step can help students understand and grasp the listening material far further. Perhaps some students will find it hard to listen to and understand listening materials. Encourage them not to give up. The more they listen to English, the easier it becomes.

As we know, young people can show that they are not eating a balanced diet in a number of ways—by being too thin, too fat or sick. So the exercise Talking is to encourage students to discuss how their diets may affect their quality of life. It gives them the opportunity to practice a dialogue using the functional items for seeing the doctor, suggestions and advice. So they should learn some expressions of seeing the doctor, suggestions and advice first. Then they are required to create such a dialogue. During the course, encourage them to use vocabulary from the reading and listening passages.

This period places emphasis on developing students’ listening and speaking ability. We should try our best to encourage students to say something. Don’t always correct the mistakes they have made while they are speaking. Otherwise, they would feel reluctant and not say anything more.

Discussion

Read the following reports and then in small groups discuss what you think of after reading the reports.

The latest data from an ongoing government-sponsored survey of the health and nutrition of the U. S. population indicated that nearly 65% of American adults were overweight and more than 30% were obese. The most disquieting finding was that more than 80% of all black women over the age of 40 were overweight and half were obese. In a separate report focusing on children and adolescents, 15% of those aged 16-19 were overweight.

CDC researchers published the disturbing results of a 20-year study that analyzed hospital-discharge records of children. They found that overweight children were increasingly being diagnosed with illnesses formerly seen mainly in overweight or obese adults. These included type Ⅱ(non-insulin-dependent)diabetes, gallbladder disease, and sleep apnea. Although the overall numbers of children with these serious conditions remained relatively low, the increases over the period 1979-1999 were striking. For example, the diagnosis of gallbladder disease in 6-17-year-olds rose 228%.

A report on obesity among children worldwide by the London-based International Obesity Task Force was presented in May at the annual meeting of the World Health Assembly, whose decision-making body. The task force estimated that 22 million children under age 5 were overweight or obese. Among 10-year-olds, the U. S. had the third highest prevalence of overweight children, after Malta and Italy. Much to the surprise of many health professionals, obesity was found to be a growing problem in less-developed countries. In Morocco and Zambia, for example, more children were overweight than malnourished. In Egypt, Chile, Mexico, and Peru, as many as 25% of children aged 4-10 were overweight or obese.
