Diet obsession

Description

In the US, 80% of girls have been on a diet by the time they’re 10 years old. But does dieting really work? In this lesson plan, students watch neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt talk about how our brains manage our body weight and why dieting doesn’t usually work. The lesson warms up with a vocabulary exercise on words related to eating problems. After watching the talk, there is an exercise on phrasal verbs and in the grammar section, review conditional structures.
