　 ban … from …: to forbid, esp. by law

e. Get students do Activity 5.

Step III Speaking

Get students answer the questions in Activity 6 in pairs.

Sample dialogue:

S1: What junk food do you like?

S2: I like hamburgers.

S1: Me too. But hamburger contains too much sugar, energy and fat. We shouldn’t eat it too often.

S2: I agree. How can you improve your diet?

S1: First, we should not go to eat junk food too often. Then we need to eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.

S2: Good ideas. Do you think junk food should be banned?

S1: It’s not necessary. We can eat it one or two times each month, for it’s one of the ways of relaxing and enjoying ourselves. It’s necessary for us to persuade people to eat healthy food.

S2: What can you do?

S1: We can give them a lot of examples that show what the harm junk food brings to us. And maybe our government can give rules to ask people eat less and less junk food.

S2: I agree. Is it important to have a healthy meal at school?

S1: Yes. If we do not have a healthy meal, we may behave badly and can not concentrate on our study.

S2: Would you like to be a cook?

S1: Yes! I’d like to! I can do a lot of healthy food for people. The most important is that I can tell people what is healthy and what is bad. They will follow me, for I am a cook.
