2. READING

Read the following text and answer the follow up questions of the text!

A. How much physical activity do you do in a week?

Are you getting enough exercise? People who do regular
activity have a lower risk of many chronic diseases, such
as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and some
cancers. Adults who do exercise for just 150 minutes a
week can reduce their risk of serious illness by 50%.
Regular exercise reduces the risk of esteem and sleep
quality. Today, we are much less active than in the past
and our office jobs are far less physical than the manual
labor our grandfathers used to do. In fact, many adults
spend seven hours or more on chair each day
B. This lack of regular physical activity means that
people burn fewer calories than in the past, so we need
to do something extra to use up all our energy. Adults
need to do two and a half hours of moderate exercise per
week. This could be fat walking or cycling on a flat
road. In addition, you should do exercise to strengthen
muscles twice a week.
C. Exercise can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be.
Team sports such as football, rugby or cricket can be
cheap because all players share the cost of the pitch.
Joining a sports club is usually a cheap way of getting
exercise and can be very sociable, too.
Local leisure centers usually offer squash at cheap rates if
you book court at off-peak times, and you may be able to
get cheap gym membership too. If the leisure center has a
pool, swimming is also a great way to exercise.
D. Alternatively, if you don’t want to spend any money at
all, go for a run. The only equipment needed for this is a
pair of trainers. Similarly, getting off the bus one stop early
and walking the extra distance helps. Go to the park. Try
getting a group of friends or family together and have a
game of football in the park or play the sorts of running
games you haven’t played since you were a child. This is a
great way to spend time with family but also to help you
get fit again. Alternatively, if you want to stay at home,
gardening or doing housework is a great way to get fit and
you can enjoy the benefit of a nice garden and a tidy house,
too!
E. Although adults should do two and a half hours of
exercise a week, you don’t have to do it all at one time.
Split the time into ten-minute chunks! If you do ten minutes
before work, ten minutes during your lunch break and ten
minutes after work, five days a week, you’ve achieved the
target! Alternatively, go swimming during your lunch hour
two or three times a week and you’ve done it! There are
many ways of getting fit and we should all recognize the
value of doing this, because we will live longer and be
healthier.

A. Obesity is becoming a major problem in many parts of the world. In

Britain alone, there was a 30% increase in the number of people being
admitted to hospital with problems related to obesity last year. An estimated
60% of British adults are overweight.
B. One way if tackling obesity is to eat less but to eat more healthily. An
average man needed around 2,500 calories per day, while an average woman
requires around 2,000 per day. We should eat a balanced diet which consists
of a variety of foods in order to maintain a healthy weight. A healthy diet
should include approximately 35% fruit and vegetables; 35% carbohydrates,
such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta (or other starchy food); around 15%
dairy products like milk and cheese; 10% proteins, for example met, fish,
eggs and beans; and only around 5% should be sweet foods- namely cakes
or biscuits- especially those that are high in fat and sugar.
C. In many countries, nutritional values are show on food packaging. In
Britain, there is a traffic light system to show more clearly how good or bad
a particular food product is. Red next to ‘sugar’, for example, means that the
product is high in that particular item; yellow means the product is neither
high nor low in sugar; and green means the product only has a small amount
of sugar in it. The traffic light system helps people to know immediately
whether the food product is good for them.
 READING FOR
DETAIL

text carefully to

D. Some people argue that foods that are high in fat, such as pizza and
potato chips, and those high in refined sugar, like chocolate and sweets,
should be taxed. This would make junk food too expensive for people to
buy in large quantities. In Denmark, there is now a tax on products that
contain more than 2,3% of saturated fat. However, taxing fast food is
difficulty because fast food is difficult because fast food companies are
rich and powerful.
E. The role of advertising should not be forgotten. Advertising junk food at
times when children are watching TV was banned in Malaysia in 2007.
This was designed to better protect them from the influence for advertising
while they learn how to choose between treats and foods that are good for
them. On the other hand, there have also been TV education campaigns to
encourage people to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. It has
been estimated that if people ate enough fruit and vegetables, up to 2.7
million lives per year could be saved
F. Governments need to promote healthy eating and the importance of five
portions of fruit and vegetables per day. Similarly, they need to fight
obesity by discouraging people from eating fats and sugars. They must
also encourage people to be more active by providing opportunities for
everyone to get fit, no matter how rich or poor they may be. If
governments can change people’s habits, the world will be a healthier
place in the future.

 Academic verbs and nouns
It is important to recognize both the verbs and the noun form of
academic words when you are reading and to spell them correctly
when you are writing.
1. Look at the noun in the table and find their verb forms in the paragraph
below. Write the verbs in the table next to the noun forms.

No Noun Verb

1 Injury

2 Provision

3 Reduction

4 Suffering

5 Encouragement

6 Solution

7 Recognition

8 Involvement

2. Look at the short text below and underline the verbs which are used in the
text. Then, find the noun for each verb.

Obesity can reduce life expectancy and lead to serious illness such as
heart disease and diabetes. To address
this problem, some governments run
educational programs advertising
campaigns. These educate people about the
dangers of junk food and the
importance of a balanced diet. They also show
people how to find out about the nutritional values of food. Another
important way to tackle obesity is regular exercise, because the more
physical activity we have, the better we feel.
