This is the first teaching period of this unit. At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by showing students some pictures about foods and talking about them.

Warming Up is to tell students how different kinds of food are grouped. This is important as it enables us to talk about the value of particular foods to our health. We want students to appreciate what a balanced diet is. Too much fatty food will mean they store extra energy in their bodies. Too much body-building food may cause problems for digestion and lead to illness unless enough fibre foods are eaten to aid digestion. The teacher can have a free talk with students, let them work in pairs to read through the chart and discuss the questions.
