-        Good morning! Glad to see you!

Today we have an unusual lesson; we have guests at our lesson. Let’s greet them! Now take your seats!

As you know today’s lesson is the last one in series lessons about EATING HABITS.

In other words it is the lesson of summing up lexical and grammar structures.

A successful lesson is all about setting realistic aims that meet the students' needs and achieving them!

-        So, our aims are:

-        To practise in listening and expressing opinions on the subject;

-        To revise and enrich students’ vocabulary on the topic;

-        To generalize and broaden students’ knowledge about topic “Healthy eating”;

-        To review and practise Conditionals;

-        To involve students into communicative activities by means of pair and group work;

-        To improve written skills based on different prompts

Are you ready to work productively at the lesson? Do all your best then! So, let’s start.

-        Before you start fulfilling the 1^st task I’d like you to pay attention to the following phrases and please never forget using them in your speech.

I believe…

I can’t but say…

I consider that…

In addition…

I must admit…

Frankly speaking…

-        Well. Warming-up

-        I’m going to start Question-chain. The answering student puts question to a classmate

1. Which colour food should you eat if you are feeling very nervous? ( If I’m feeling very nervous I should eat green foods like broccoli, lettuce, cucumber)

2. How many portions of fruit and vegetables do you eat a day?

3. What things could you do to improve your diet?

4. How often do you eat takeaways and junk food?

5. Do you ever find yourself eating snacks while you are working?

6. How often do you skip breakfast?

- Thanks a lot.

- Topic “Food” is always under discussion among both teenagers and adults. There is a food cult in different countries. People invent proverbs and idioms with food-words. The next task is: guess the meaning of the idioms and translate the sentences with them:

1. a bad egg – My cousin Jack is a bad egg, and I don’t want to have anything common with him. - (a bad influence/ someone who brings trouble)

2. a couch potato -Most evenings they sit, like a pair of couch potatoes in front of television. – (an idle person)

3. a hard nut to crack – The problem is a hard nut to crack. - (a difficult person to understand/ a difficult problem to solve)

4. a piece of cake – That job was a piece of cake. It was the easiest thing that I've ever done.- (easy)

5. a smart cookie – Jed is a smart cookie. I’m sure he’ll do the right thing.- (a clever person)

6. big cheese – Ever since his promotion, he has started to feel that he is the big cheese in the company. - (an important person)

7. bread and butter – Gardening is my bread and butter now. - (the necessities)

-        Excellent. Your home assignment for today was to stand for or against the saying of Bethenny Frankel: “Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments”. You are welcome.

-        Awesome. You are on target.

-        There are many points of view on the topic. There are many nutritionists who help people be fit and healthy. There are many ideas how to eat right. We’ve heard about a vegetarian diet, a pescatarian diet, about meat-eaters, vegans so and so forth. But why do people stick to this or that diet? Let’s have a discussion on this issue. I’d like you to divide into 2 groups. The 1^st group will tell us about all advantages of being a meat-eater, the 2^nd group will show us pros of a vegetarian diet and we need some nutritionists or experts who will conclude all above. Mind your grammar. Don't forget the rules of using Conditional sentences.

-         Marvellous! Now we understand if we want to be healthy we should have a balanced diet. So, let’s summarize what food is more useful for our organism and how often we should eat it. I'd like you to fill in the form with foods and time consuming words to make a balanced diet.

(   -   You can find a sheet of paper on your desk. Please, fill in the table in writing. You have 3 minutes.)

-        Now you know much about healthy food. I hope you’ll be health conscious people.

-        We are short of time. Write down your h/task for the next lesson: compose                    a cinquain on the topic “Junk food”.

-        Our lesson is over. You may be free. Good bye.
