VOCABULARY LEARNING: MIND MAPS

It's a good idea to record words that belong to the same semantic field by means of a MIND MAP. Look at the following example:

Now, it's your turn to build a MIND MAP using the following words related to THE BEDROOM: bed-lamp-alarm clock- pyjamas- pilows- bedside table- wardrobe- chest of drawers.

Finished? What about using these words connected to THE BATHROOM: shower- bath- mirror- towel- towel rail- washbasin- toilet.

FAST FOOD

Fast food from Natalja Hramtsova

Here you are a power point about fast food in Estonia and its negative effects on health!

We don't normally make the effort of cooking properly and we end up eating fast food. Why? The answer is simple: it's quicker, it's quite cheap and it tastes good!

However, we should also think about its negative consequences on health. In addition, many children include fast food in their diet and they start suffering from illnesses such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, etc

What's your opinion about it?

Do you like fast food?

How often do you eat it?

Have you watched "Supersize me" documentary?

If you did, what type of information did you get from it?
