Unit 3: Essay

Introduction and the title

Do you like learning more about your body and health?
How do you learn? Where do you get your information  from what's good for you?
Which topic is the most important?
Why did you choose to write about....?
etc.

A tip - it might be a good idea to leave space for your title and introduction and start with a paragraph to save time and get started.  Do not write similar sentences what you write in your paragraphs. 

Paragraphs (choose 2 and expand them by facts and opinions, give examples of what you have experienced). Try to recall what you learned from the student book or group work. Use expressions from SB ex 5/39.

1) Leisure time (hobbies and interests). How do they support your mental and physical health?
2) Extreme sports - threats and opportunities
3) Caution, injuries and first-aid
4) Feeling unwell (treatment)
5) Body limits and pushing yourself too far (accidents and dangers)
6) The human body in 100,000 years
7) Body clock
8) Why is sleep important?
9) Caring about your appearance

10) ABC-advice - the most important ones to always follow

A tip - choose the ones where you have enough personal opinion, experience and you remember more facts to prove your opinion. 

Sum-up

Do you pay enough attention to a healthy lifestyle?
What would you like to change in the future, do differently?
etc. Use expressions from SB ex 5/39

A tip - You shouldn't bring new topics or examples into your conclusion. Write in general.
