Step 1 - Listening
Making money with your hobby
You are going to listen to a recording in which Gareth Rees talks about meals in Great Britain.
Listen to the recording.
While listening, think about the following questions:
Which three types of meal do you typically have at the end of the day?
What are the most important differences between the three?
Do the exercises.
Step 2 - Reading
Sugary drinks
You are going to read two texts about sugary drinks.
Read the texts.
While reading, think about the following question: Would you be for or against these measures? Why?
New York City bans the sale of supersize fizzy drinks
New York City has become the first place in the United States to ban the sale of supersize sugary drinks. The new law will make it illegal to sell fizzy drinks in cups bigger than half a litre.
The former city's Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, wanted to bring in the ban to tackle obesity but lots of people aren't happy about it. One New York business owner said: "We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink." Groups who are against the new law say they'll continue to fight against it being introduced. Diet drinks and fruit juices aren't included in the ban so can still be sold in bigger sizes. Restaurants who break the rules could be fined up to £120.
Sugar tax revenue helps tackle childhood obesity
The Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) was introduced in the UK in April 2018 and applies to the manufacture and importation of soft drinks containing added sugar. It was introduced as part of the government’s initiative to tackle childhood obesity by encouraging manufacturers to reduce the sugar content in their drinks products.
The UK has one of the highest obesity rates among developed countries and soft drinks are still the biggest source of sugar in children’s diets. Revenue collected from the levy will help fund physical education activities in primary schools, the Healthy Pupils Capital Fund and provide a funding boost for breakfast clubs in over 1,700 schools.
Manufacturers had two years to prepare ahead of the introduction of SDIL. While many manufacturers reduced the sugar content in their drinks products, over 450 traders have registered to pay the levy. There are two rates of tax, depending on the sugar content:
the ‘standard rate’ (18p per litre) applies to drinks with sugar content between 5 grams and up to (but not including) 8 grams per 100ml
the ‘higher rate’ (24p per litre) applies to drinks with sugar content equal to or greater than 8 grams per 100ml
Het voltooid deelwoord heb je nodig om bijvoorbeeld de voltooid tegenwoordige tijd (present perfect) te maken.
Ik heb nog nooit piano gespeeld. - I have never played the piano.
Die film hebben we al gezien. - We have already seen that movie.
Bestudeer uit de Kennisbank het onderdeel Voltooid deelwoord. Denk na over het volgende:
Probeer de lijst met onregelmatige werkwoorden in groepjes te verdelen. Er zijn namelijk overeenkomsten te vinden in de manier waarop de verleden tijd en het voltooid deelwoord worden gevormd. Dit kan je helpen ze te leren.
Have a debate about the statement: All sugary drinks should be banned. Use the description below.
Preparation
Work with three other classmates. Make pairs.
Decide which pair is going to argue in favour of the statement and which pair is going to argue against.
Note down as many arguments as you can think of to support your point of view. Use the Reading texts and/or do some research online.
Try to anticipate the other pair’s arguments and find reasons why they are wrong.
Having the debate
Find another group to work with.
Have your debate.
Ask your classmates to write down feedback for you.
Next, let them have their debate and write down feedback for them.
Discuss what went well and what you can do better next time.
Het paar dat vóór het verbod pleit begint. Geef duidelijk je mening en onderbouw die met minimaal drie argumenten.
Het paar dat tegen het verbod pleit reageert. Leg uit waarom de anderen ongelijk hebben en onderbouw dat met argumenten. Geef dan nog minimaal twee andere argumenten tegen een verbod.
Het paar dat vóór het verbod pleit reageert. Leg uit waarom de anderen ongelijk hebben en onderbouw dat met argumenten.
Blijf altijd beleefd en respectvol. Val de argumenten aan, niet de personen.
De toeschouwers bepalen wie het meest overtuigend was.
Step 6 - Writing
An article about healthy drinks
You have read two texts about fizzy drinks and you have debated whether or not they should be banned. But if you can’t drink sugary, fizzy drinks, what can you drink? You are going to write an article about healthy drinks choices.
First, do some research online.
What are healthy drinks?
What drinks may seem healthy, but aren’t really, and why?
If you can’t find answers to the questions online, have a brainstorm with one or two classmates to come up with your own ideas.
Write an article, using your notes.
Start with a short introduction. This can be a description of the problem, a short anecdote or some statistics and figures. If you use the latter, make use you research your data. You can also use one of the Reading texts as a basis for your introduction.
Describe what drinks are healthy and what drinks aren’t, and why.
End with a conclusion: what should people drink?
Check your spelling and grammar thoroughly.
Ask your teacher how many words you have to use.
