SKILLS BOOK CLIL Biology Nutrition Warm up 1a PAIRWORK Think about which foods you need to eat to stay healthy. Reading 1b Scan the text below for food words, Were any of the food you mentioned in the article? What are nutrients? Nutrients are the chemicals we get from food. We need these chemicals, just like a car needs petrol. There are more than 40 different nutrients, and they belong to six groups: protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. We need nutrients to build and look after the body, keep the body working well, and to give us energy. We need that energy to do things. Even when we are just sitting down, studying or writing a test, we are using energy – by using our brains! So we need nutrients to help us do that properly. We need a balance of all the nutrients in our diet, because of the way they work together. One nutrient needs the other nutrients to be able to do its job. What are our daily requirements? The average adult needs around 2000 calories a day. It’s recommended that 55% of these calories should be carbohydrates, 25% fats and 20% protein. We should drink about two litres of water a day and eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Too much sugar and saturated fats are bad for us, but research shows that dark chocolate does have a super power. The phytochemicals in dark chocolate improve blood flow to all the parts of your body, including the brain! How do nutrients work? When we eat, the body breaks down the nutrients in the food. Different parts of the body help to do this. The food passes down from the mouth, into the stomach. All the nutrients then enter the blood. The six nutrients have different functions. • Carbohydrates give the body the most energy. Good sources of these are grains (bread, cereals, rice and pasta), vegetables and fruit. • Protein builds and repairs hair, skin and muscles. The main source of protein comes from dairy products, meat, fish and nuts. • Fats store energy for when we need it. Fat protects your body and keeps you warm. We get fats from oils, butter and meat. • Vitamins and minerals have many different functions. They all look after different parts of the body and help it to function well. Vitamin A (orange, yellow and green vegetables and fruit) is good for the skin, and Vitamin C (oranges, tomatoes, potatoes) fights against colds, The mineral Calcium (dairy products, spinach) is important for healthy bones and teeth, and iron (red meat, eggs, cereals) is important for the blood. • Water helps to cool and clean the body and carries nutrients through the body. The food WE EAT Use scanning to prepare yourself for reading in detail. Find key facts, core words, dates, numbers or statistics. This gets your brain ready for reading.

The context helps you prepare for probable words and information you will hear. 2 TOPIC – A casual chat often has a theme – a holiday anecdote, a discussion about recycling. Knowing the topic helps you predict the possible language you will hear. 3 SPECIFIC INFORMATION – When you listen for directions, train information, cinema opening times, etc you need to identify the exact words, but you don’t need to understand everything else you hear. 4 UNKNOWN WORDS –It is more important to get the general gist than understand every word. Try to guess from context, but don’t panic. And remember, hearing new words is the beginning of learning them! 5 REPETITION – Spoken language contains hesitation, interactions, repeated information and repetition. It is not the same as a written text. 6 MOOD AND ATTITUDE – When we listen we learn about about people’s mood and attitude. The language used, the tone of voice and the volume tell us if a person is angry, enthusiastic etc. 7 PURPOSE – We listen for a reason, e.g. identify main ideas, understand opinion, get a fact. Your task gives you a reason and helps you focus your attention. 8 CONVERSATIONAL LANGUAGE – Knowing and understanding high frequency expressions help you follow conversations. Speakers choose phrases according to the situation and their intentions. Find them in Real talk. 9 CHECK – In a conversation, ask if people to repeat. clarify or explain if you don’t understand. In a class exercise, listen again and confirm your ideas. 10 ACTIVE LISTENING – While you listen, your brain processes sounds and creates meaning, you generate answers and ideas and deal with unknown language. So it’s OK to need to listen again.
