Keep your health – chemicals to avoid

Food has been delicious for a very long time but over the last 30 years the obesity rate for our country has more than tripled. We can’t seem to stop stuffing our mouths with too much food. Why? What is the difference between the food we ate 30 years ago and the food we eat today?



People beat themselves up and hate their bodies because they don’t have the “willpower” to stop compulsive overeating, binge eating or food addiction when the very foods that we eat are being filled with addictive toxic chemicals that were never meant for human consumption.


It’s time to wisen up about who we give our precious consumers money to, and demand healthier choices at our grocery stores.


There are chemicals that we need to eliminate, moderate and seriously phase out of our diets for permanent weight loss, more energy and miraculous healing of sicknesses:

High Fructose Corn Syrup
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

Nitrite and Nitrate

Olestra

Potassium Bromate

Sulfites

It’s time to wake up to the fact that we are literally killing ourselves with our food choices. If you want to be free from obesity and you want to lose weight, you should ask God Almighty for the strength to avoid harmful chemicals that make you ill, the knowledge to cook fresh natural foods in a tasty way, and the wisdom to overcome the spiritual barriers that keep you from staying consistent with healthy habits like daily exercise. It is always a good idea to seek help and support when you have a tough challenge such as this in your life.

Current affairs in the English classroom

I think it is a good idea to deal with news stories in a lesson. Students are usually interested in current issues, such as politics, disasters, celebrities and special events. Teachers can take advantage of their students' interest and teach them some new vocabulary. In addition, a lesson like this is certainly communicative as everybody must have an opinion about the actual happenings.

This time I prepared an exercise about the current volcano eruption.
At first students need to match the following expressions with the pictures.

FORECAST, CANCELLATIONS, ENGINE, VOLCANO, ASH, ERUPTION, GROUNDED TOURISTS, ICELAND

After naming the pictures, clarifying their meaning and pronunciation (especially: volcano = /vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ/ and eruption = /ɪˈrʌpʃn/ ) , I would ask a student to summarize the current story of the Icelandic volcano with the help of the new expressions.

Another exercise would be to match the two halves of some expressions still in connection with the eruption and its consequences.

Students would read the solutions one by one and form a sentence with each of the expressions.

Hope you like these exercises. Do you ever deal with current affairs in your lessons?
