Begin the class with my own eating experiences. Encourage the students to tell about theirs. Make them say as many names of the food as possible. Get them to tell their feeling about different kinds of food. Ask:
What do you think are good eating habits?
What will happen if we don’t have good habbits?
Conclusion: Every day we have food. Food makes us feel full and happy and it also helps to build our bodies. But have you ever thought what you eat is junk food or healthy food? Today we re going to learn something about food.
Step 2 Warming up
1. Have the students open their books at Page 1 and look at the eight pictures of different kinds of food. Tell the names of the food first. Then discuss in pairs:
which of them are junk foods? Why?
Or which of them are healthy foods? Why?

3. Listen to what Mike did next, and then answer the question in Ex. 2. A short discussion is allowed in pairs.
Step 4 Speaking
Everyone wants to be healthy and strong. But sometimes we are not feeling well. Ask:
What will you do if you don’t feel well?
Say: When we’re ill, we’d better go and see a doctor and the doctor will look over us and give us some advice. Now we’re going to practice some everyday English used by doctors and patients. Go through the useful expressions on P3.
Have the students look at the example above. Ask two students act as Dr Yang and Sharon and read the dialogue aloud. Have the other students underline some useful expressions they can find.
Go through the three situations with the students on P2. Ask them to choose one of them and make up a dialogue in pairs according to the example given and then act it out.
