8 Ourselves Unit 1 Speaking What are your favourite foods? What do you eat at break? The setting of a story is where it takes place in school, in town, at sea. Reading 1 Read the title of the story and look at the illustration. What do you think the story will be about? Setting and characters Problem 8 Healthy Eating Tanya and Shakira were in the school canteen. They had just had a lesson about healthy eating. I m starving! said Shakira. I m going to buy some cheese snacks. They re so-o-o bad for you, warned Tanya. They re full of salt and fat. Then I ll get chocolate, said Shakira firmly. Chocolate s full of sugar. Why not try popcorn? suggested Tanya. I don t like popcorn, Shakira moaned. Why is everything I like bad for me? Mrs. Clarke was behind the counter. She looked worried. There s nothing wrong with my chocolate, darling, but if you re really hungry you should have some proper food. Why don t you try some macaroni pie? Reluctantly, Shakira nodded her head. I suppose that s best, she muttered. Predicting theme of a story from title and illustration

9 Ourselves Unit 1 Resolution Then it was Tanya s turn. Please may I have some fruit? she asked. There s no fruit, sweetheart, but I ve got some tasty fruity sweets, suggested Mrs. Clarke. No thank you, said Tanya. Sweets are bad for my teeth. Do you have fruit juice or peanuts? No, honey, but I ve got soft drinks and peanut candy. Tanya shook her head. Mrs. Clarke looked perplexed. Oh dear, she sighed. I m afraid I can t help you. Never mind, said Tanya smiling. I ll just have a bottle of water, please. The two girls went back to the classroom and told Mr. Williams what had happened. The canteen should sell healthy snacks, complained Tanya. Perhaps you can try to change things, suggested Mr. Williams. How can we do that? asked Shakira. Well, Mrs. Clarke sells what she thinks the children want, explained Mr. Williams. If she thought you wanted healthy snacks, I m sure she would sell them. Let s go and tell her! shouted Tanya. Slow down, laughed Mr. Williams. It s not just up to you. First you will have to explain your idea to the Principal. Then, if she agrees, you will have to ask the other children what they would like. You may have to explain to them why fruit and nuts are better than candy, and juice is better than soft drinks full of sugar. We can do that! said Tanya. We can put up posters. That s a great idea for a class project, declared Mr. Williams. You can tell the class about it after break. Infer meaning from context clues 9

10 Ourselves Unit 1 2 Answer the questions about the story. 1. Where is the story set? 2. Who is Mr. Williams? 3. You should have some proper food. What do you think Mrs. Clarke means by proper food? 4. Why does Mr. Williams say, It s not just up to you? 5. What is the main idea of the story? 6. Try to work out the meaning of these words from the story. Use context clues to help you. reluctantly muttered perplexed 7. Write a definition for each of the words above, then check your definitions in a dictionary. 8. Why is it important to eat healthy foods? 9. What is your favourite food? Context clues are words or pictures that help you to work out the meaning of a word. You can find context clues in the same sentence or elsewhere on the page. 3 Read the text on this juice box and then answer the questions. 1. What flavour juice is in this box? 2. What should you do before drinking the juice? 3. Where was the juice made and boxed? 4. What should you do to keep the juice fresh? 5. What are the ingredients of the juice? 6. In what way do you think this juice is good for you? 10 Read labels
