I questioned eighty high school teenagers between 15 and 17 in order to know
which sport was the most popular with them and why it was popular .When I asked
them if they liked practising sports , all teenagers said yes. But my main interest in
fact was what they practised sport for.
Sixty of them said they practised sports for fun . 12 told me they did it
challenge .Only 8 informants said they practised sports to keep fit . Then , I asked
them what their favourite sport was. Fifty of them told me they liked playing
football whereas 18 said they liked playing handball. Only 12 of the informants
said they preferred practising basketball.

&1987.

-The consumption of other vegetables and vegetable products increased rapidly
between 1980 & 1987.
Activity 02 : Describe the graph above using the plan below :
Aim : to be able to describe a graph.
Key :
The graph shows the change in food consumption in Great Britain between
1980 and 1987. The horizontal line represents the direction of change whereas the
bars show the percentage of change in the consumption of food.

26
 You can see immediately that the British now drink less milk and cream ; eat a
little fresh fruit and fresh vegetables .They eat much less butter and white bread ;
too. But they eat much more brown and wholemeal bread .
In my opinion , this means that our food habits have become less healthy .We
should inform the consumers about the danger of eating less fruit and vegetables ,
and drinking less milk . Getting enough of these foods prevents diseases.

Activity 05 : Write a health report about the change in food consumption in Algeria
making recommendations using the text on page 86 as a model .
Aim : To encourage the learners to write .
Key :
In the past , the Algerians used to eat traditional meals which were healthy but
nowadays , food consumption has changed a lot since today’s children for example
or people in general consume 30 times the volume of fizzy drink , snacks ,
hamburgers …..etc that contain colourings , preservatives and flavourings that can
be found even in supposedly healthy products.
So, people now are consuming more and more snacks than eating meals made
from fresh ingredients . Therefore , , we’re in distinct danger of having illness such
as , asthma , eczema…..etc because such food contains chemicals .
According to me , people should make sure that they are getting enough
healthy food of fruit , vegetables in order to prevent many diseases .In addition ,
they should have a healthy diet including regular activities or medical check –ups .
Step three : Work it Out II :
Activity 01 : Find the silent letters and cross them out .Then listen to the teacher

Activity 02 : read the sentences below .hen cross out the letter / h / which isn’t pronounced then check
your answers.
Aim : To make the students aware about the silent /h / .

27
-What is his name ? - His name ‘s Hamlet .
-This is his answer . –Give him the address of the hotel.
-Who told her that he was here? -He is the one who told her .

Rule :
Pronouns with initial / h / commonly lose / h / when they occur
unaccented within a sense group ; they retain / h / when they are initial in a
group or when they ‘re accented.

Activity 03 : Classify the words below according to the pronunciation of their final “s” :
Aim : To reinforce the pronunciation of the final “s” .
Key :
/s / / z / / iz /
