Ask students " Do you think why that happened to me?" Elicit main topics such as eating habits and exercise.

Pre-Reading/Listening (2-4 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

While-Reading/Listening #1 (4-6 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Repeat the tape (Mp3) again and ask students to find the correct answer in part B on page 68. Do the first one to clarify students will understand what they are supposed to do. Ask students to check answers with other students. Then show answers on the board one by one. Ask students if the heard the "fatty' word. If not what was on the tape? What did they hear?
