LET'S SPEAK!

Next Friday 26th,we will deal with health and eating habits in our speaking session.
I have come across a presentation by Kirsti Dyer, Live a healthy life. 

The 35 slides tell us about all aspects of our lives: diet, sleep, exercise, relaxation, health, fun, friends.

Live a Healthy Life - Original from Kirsti Dyer MD, MS

Compare your lifestyle with the ideas put forward by Dr Dyer. In preparation for your speaking session try to answer these questions.

• Do you have a healthy lifestyle?
• What do you usually do to stay healthy?
• Do you think your diet is generally healthy?
• Do you take vitamin supplements ? What vitamin supplements do you use?
• How much of your diet consists of prepackaged food?
• How often do you eat junk food?
• What do you do if you are ill? 
• How often do you go to the doctor's to get a regular check up?
• Have you ever been on a successful diet?
• Have you ever tried yoga?
• Have you ever used a personal trainer?
• What do you do to keep fit?
• What other things would you like to do to keep fit?
• Do you do anything that is unhealthy?

Watch this video and note down the answers speakers do about their healthy lifestyles. 

PAST TENSES: SIMPLE, CONTINUOUS, PERFECT

Click here to revise the past tenses. 

• Past simple is used to talk about an action started and finished at a specific time in the past.

• Past continuous is used to talk about: actions or situations that lasted for some time in the past. Example: I was watching tv yesterday in the evening.

It is also used when an action in progress is interrupted by another action in the past.

Example: I was having a shower when someone knocked at the door.


Moreover, it is used when two actions are in progress at the same time in the past. Example: While I was watching tv, my sister was reading a book.

• Past perfect, it is used to emphasize that one action in the past happened before another action in the past.

example: I had finished my homework before I went playing football.
