Course: Pilar Polo - As Pontes - IN-B2.2-SEMI - Blended Learning, Section: Module 3. Food and sport/5 November-2 December

Main course page

B2 Competence aims:
Understand standard spoken language, live or broadcast, on both familiar and unfamiliar topics normally encountered in personal, social, academic or vocational life as well as a broad active reading vocabulary, but may experience some difficulty with low-frequency idioms.

Produce and co-produce clear detailed texts on a wide range of general, academic, vocational or leisure topics, marking clearly the relationships between ideas and explaining advantages and disadvantages with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers possible without strain.

Mediate detailed information and arguments reliably, e.g. the significant point(s) contained in complex but well-structured, texts within their fields of professional, academic and personal interest.

Module 3. Food and sport/5 November-2 December

In this third module, we are going to deal with the topic of food and sport. We will discuss how our eating habits may also affect the environment by thinking about our grocery shopping habits and the food we waste. Then, we will talk about having a healthy lifestyle and the relationship between food and mood. Finally we will learn about the benefits of doing sport but also about the dangers of becoming addicted as well as expand our vocabulary on extreme sports.

At the end of this module, you will be able to write a blog post about how people's eating habits have changed and how to eat healthily. Besides you'll be able to discuss gender equality in sports.
