Although I sometimes eat fried food and have sugary drinks, I like to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, and I exercise regularly. Im afraid Im leading an unhealthy lifestyle. I eat too much junk food, such as fried chickens, pizzas, ice cream and popcorn. To make things worse, I dont do much exercise.2 In order to keep fit, I often play badminton and soccer with my friends. We play soccer at least once a week. I also go to the gym twice a week.

Like her, I also enjoy practicing yoga. It helps me relax and makes me feel less stressful and more peaceful. Im similar to the first man. I go to the gym quite regularly. I go for runs, too. But I do not go rowing.2 Id like to learn from the second man. I should ride a bike, and go to the gym more frequently. Above all, I should watch what I eat. Listening to the worldSharing Listening Viewing Listening to the world1 Look at the pictures and read the statements about food. Do you think they will be true in the future?ListeningBEFORE you listen1 I think this may be true. As people are increasingly realizing the importance of health, they would get rid of unhealthy foods and eat only healthy foods. I dont think this will be true. People enjoy different kinds of food. So a diet without a variety of food will be too boring and life will sound dull and meaningless. Listening to the world1 Look at the pictures and read the statements about food. Do you think they will be true in the future?ListeningBEFORE you listen2 Food pills may become more popular, but I dont think they can be a substitute for normal meals. They can be supplementary to normal meals, but they should not be the standard food because they are not as healthy as real food. Besides, we are accustomed to eating different kinds of food with different kinds of flavors. Life will be boring if we could only eat food pills. I think this prediction will be true. As the pace of life is getting faster, people are looking for convenient and efficient way to eat. Food pills could be the solution. Listening to the world1 Look at the pictures and read the statements about food. Do you think they will be true in the future?ListeningBEFORE you listen3 I dont think this will happen. Certain food has certain flavor. When people get the same food, it should taste the same. Its hard to imagine that the same food can change its flavor for different people. I think this may happen. In the future, with some advanced technology, it may be possible to program different flavors for the same kind of food. As a result, with the same food, different people can have different flavors by simply pushing a button. Listening to the worldListeningListening skills Additional TipsPredicting a change of thoughtThe following contrast signal words are used to indicate a change of the speakers thought., but it will be sunny in the afternoon.; however, it is difficult to put it into practice., In contrast, my husband loves meat., on the contrary, I think its quite beautiful., nevertheless, it was preferable to the old one. Listening to the worldListeningListening skillsExercise More examples of contrast signal words to indicate a change of thought. Although the resources of our world are limited, the desires of people are not. Despite the clear danger of nuclear wastes, the government has decided to build another nuclear power plant. The weather was terrible there. Still, we enjoyed our stay in the five-star hotel. Listening to the world2 Read the statements and predict what is to follow after each “but”.ListeningBEFORE you listen1 I dont think super foods will be the answer to our eating problems in the future.2 I dont think food pills will replace normal food.3 no, we wont eat only food pills in the future.4 your friend likes strawberry.5 then we change its flavor by pushing a button.6 it may become common in the future. Listening to the world3 Read the table. Then listen to the interview and fill in the blanks with what you hear.ListeningWHILE you listen1 ) eating problems2 ) replace normal food3 ) eat only food pills4 ) taste different5 ) change its flavor6 ) become common Listening to the world4 Listen to the interview again and check ( ) the true statements.ListeningWHILE you listen1 (The interview mainly talks about foods in the future.) 23 (Cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be.) Listening to the world5 Read the following statements and share your answers ListeningAfter you listen1 This might happen, but it wont happen soon. In fact, there is enough food in todays world for everyone, but it is not available to some people who need it.2 I agree. Although we all know that junk food is not good for health, it is very likely that people will eat more unhealthily in the future. As the modern pace of life is getting quicker, people will have to eat fast food more frequently for convenience. Listening to the world5 Read the following statements and share your answers ListeningAfter you listen3 I dont agree. Although more people have realized the negative effect of eating too much meat, I dont think people will stop eating animals in the future. The human body needs meat and meat is delicious.4 This may happen. With the ever expanding population, there will not be enough food for everyone in the world. This may lead to a rise in food prices. As a result, many people will have to grow their own food, because otherwise, they would have to spend a large sum of money on food. Listening to the world5 Read the following statements and share your answers.ListeningAfter you listen5 This may happen. Actually, in recent years, there is an increasing tendency that people are spending less time with their family. With competition getting stronger, many people have to work overtime and return home late, so they do not have enough free time to eat with their family members. This situation will probably get worse in the future. Listening to the world5 Read the following statements and share your answers ListeningAfter you listen6 I dont agree. Although its getting popular to order food online, I dont think the next generation may thus not know how to cook. Cooking is not difficult to learn. The next generation may spend less time on cooking, but they will certainly cook because this is life and cooking can be an interesting hobby.

Give two examples.At the beginning of the game, Barker does not even know how to hold the racket (in his words, “bat”) properly. After the game, Barker does not know whether he has won or not, or how many points (in his words, “goals”) he has got. Barker looks and talks like an innocent person, not knowing that Corbett, captain of a squash team, gets very angry. All this makes Barker a funny person. Listening to the worldViewing5 Discuss the questions.AFTER you view2 Have you ever had a similar experience where you were defeated by someone less skilled in a specific sport? Share your experience with your partner.I had a similar experience when I asked a friend to play table tennis with me many years ago. My friend claimed that he had never played table tennis before, but he learned so quickly that he beat me in the end. What a shame!
