1. Situation 1

Read the dialogue in pairs.

S: Excuse me. Are you Harry ?

H: Yes, I am. Do I know you? I think, I have seen you before.

S:Of course. Don’t you remember me? I’m Sarah. We first met in a seminar devoted to World Health Day.

H: Oh, yea. I have nearly forgotten about it. How are you? What did you get from the seminar?

S: I did what the lecturer said. I practiced a balanced diet. I only eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also take some vitamins. What about you? Have you stopped eating junk food? You were a junk food lover, weren’t you?

H: I was. But now I realize that I feel healthier than ever after avoiding myself from eating junk food. Now I don’t get tired so easily.

S:That’s good for you. Do you know that exercising does your body good? It stimulates our hear and lungs work more efficiently. I usually work out 3 times a week . With all this, we can gain a better life with healthy body and mind.

H: That’s true , Sarah. I have to go now. I have some work to do at home.

It’s really so nice to see you. Keep in touch, okay?

S: Okay. Bye.

Martha is on a diet to lose weight, but her friend is trying to coax her into eating a bowl of ice-cream. Can Martha stand the temptation?

Read the dialogue in pairs.

Sydney: Would you like to have some ice-cream? I've got a variety of flavors for you to choose from. I've got strawberry, peach, chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate brownie, coffee, vanilla, rocky road, butter pecan, and praline.

Martha: Wow! What choices you have! I wish I could, but I just can't. I'm on a diet to lose weight.

Sydney: Come on, it's just a bite. It doesn't really hurt to have just a bite.

Martha: I'd better not. Please don't tempt me. Please!

Sydney: Gee! You are really strong-willed.

Martha: You're darn right. I'm not so easily coaxed into doing something that I think is wrong.

Sydney: Well, I'd better not tempt you. Otherwise, if I give you a piece of cake, you might ask for a glass of milk.
