Lesson 2(1)
Part Two
Emily: Okay, here’s the place.
Vicky: The Multiple Organic Diner? Emily, do you really want to eat in this hole in the wall? Larry: Now, Vicky, Emily is trying to help us get back into shape. Besides, this place doesn’t look so bad. It’s a little dark maybe, but I’m sure it’s clean. Emily: That’s the spirit. Let’s take that table over there. Vicky: I suppose there’s no smoking allowed in here.
Emily: Of course not, big sister. This is a health food restaurant. Besides, I thought you said you were going to kick the habit.
Vicky: Well, Emily, I’ve tried. But, every time I stop smoking, I gain ten pounds. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give up smoking.
Emily: But you’ll feel so much better when you do! I’ve been eating well and exercising every day. I run two miles every other day and play tennis every Sunday. I feel wonderful and everybody tells me I look great.
Larry: Yeah, Vicky, I think Emily is right. By the way, where’s the waiter? I’d like to order a drink before we eat.
Emily: Larry, it’s only three o’clock in the afternoon. Besides, health food restaurants don’t serve alcohol.
Vicky: Wait a minute, Larry. I thought we agreed that you’d stop drinking if I quit smoking. Emily: I think you should both quit. Doesn’t this restaurant make you want to start living a healthy life? Why, just look at this menu. Everything they serve here is natural and nutritious. Larry: Never mind nutritious. What are the burgers like? I’m starving.
Emily: Oh, Larry. You must know that hamburgers have a lot of fat and are high in calories. Vicky: And the doctor told you that you have to lower your cholesterol and lose at least 25 pounds. Smoking isn’t the only way to have a heart attack early in life, you know. I’ m your wife and I’m too young to dress all in black.
Larry: Don’t worry, dear, I’m not going to die any time soon. Besides, I’m going to start my new diet on Monday.
Emily: That’s great. Larry, but I think the only real way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more.
Vicky: I agree with Emily. All you have to do is stop eating desserts and fried foods and no more alcohol.
Larry: You know, maybe you’re right. Emily can help me plan a diet.
Emily: And don’t forget the exercise. Why don’t you two come running with me. I’d love to have the company and we could play tennis together, too.
Vicky: No, running hurts my knees. I think swimming would be the best exercise for me. Larry: Well, I don’t like swimming or running. But, I would like to get back into playing handball. I was a really good player when I was younger.
Emily: Well, the important thing is that you two make some serious changes in your lifestyle. I’m really glad you’re doing this. Now, let’s celebrate your decision by ordering a nice tall glass of carrot-onion juice.
Vicky and Larry: Carrot-onion juice?
Emily: Of course. It’s chock-full of vim and vitality! It’s rich in vitamins and minerals. There’s vitamin C, B, and of course A for the eyes.
Larry: Wait a minute. Our diet doesn’t start until Monday. If we’re going to do any celebrating, I say we should go over to the Burger Palace and have a real celebration. Emily: But…
Vicky: I’m with you, Larry. Come on, I’m starving. See you later, Emily.
Part Three Exercise 1
1. What’s the shortest height and lowest weight for men on this chart? 2. What is the heaviest weight for women on this chart? 3. How much should a 5’4’ woman weigh? 4. How much should a 5’11’ man weigh?
5. Who should weigh more: a small-boned 5’5” man, or a small-boned 5’7’ woman? 6. Who should weigh more: a small-boned 5’11’ man, or a large-boned 5’11’ woman? Exercise 1D
1. I’m small-boned like all of the women in my family. Well, to tell the truth, the men in my family are no giants either. I’m only 5’1” and I weigh 126 pounds.
2. I’m 5’9”. My weight goes between 175 and 180. I try to eat healthy foods and get exercise, but I have to travel a lot for my job, and when I’m out of town, it’s ery difficult to stay on my diet. I have a normal build.
3. I’m 5’7” and I weigh 109 pounds. I guess you can say that I have an average build; well, as average as I’m ever going to get! I have looked like this ever since I was a kid. And my mother used to make me wear short skirts with bright-colored tights. I looked just like Rippi Longstocking!
4. I am 5’7” and I am very proud to say that I weigh 130 pounds. I guess you could say that I’ve got a small build. Believe it or not, I used to weigh 30 pounds. I t was hard work, but I’m very pleased with the results.
5. I’m 6’4” and you’d be surprised how many times every day people ask me about my height. I like towering over the rest of the world, but sometimes it’s difficult finding suits and other clothing that fits. And there’s no way I could ever fit into a sports car! I’m average build and I weigh about 170 pounds.
6. I’m 5’2” and I weigh 140 pounds. I’m big-boned, but my bones are not as heavy as I like to think they are. I used to be skinny as a child, but age and laziness have made some changes. And having five children sure didn’t help.
Exercise 2B
1. Find Vegetables. Which vegetable has the highest number of calories? Which vegetable has the lowest number of calories?
2. Now, find Beverages. How many calories are there in two cups of tea? 3. Look at Vegetables. How many calories are there in twelve spears of asparagus? 4. Look at Desserts and Snacks. Which has more calories: a slice of apple pie or a slice of chocolate cake?
5. Look at Meats and Poultry. How many calories are there in two hot dogs?
6. Look at Grains. Which has fewer calories: two cups of oatmeal or two slices of pizza? 7. Look at Beverages. Which is more fattening, a cup of coffee or a cup of orange juice? 8. Look at Fruit. Which has more calories: an apple or a banana?
9. Look at Miscellaneous Items. Which has fewer calories: a tablespoon of honey or a tablespoon of jam?
10. Look at Grains. Which has fewer calories: a tuna sandwich on white bread or a tuna sandwich on a roll?
Exercise 2C Customer 1:
Yes, I’d like the Dieter’s Delight. Now, let’s see; it says that that comes with a half cup of cottage cheese, a sliced tomato, six spears of asparagus, and a cup of fresh pineapple. That doesn’t sound too bad. I don’t think I’ll have to worry about going over my calorie limit. Oh, and I’d also kike a cup of coffee please—black with no sugar. Customer 2:
I think I’ll have the salmon and a baked potato…Oh, wait a minute; the last time I had the salmon it was a little too dry. Hmm…I don’t really feel like eating cod…Uh, well, tell you what; let me have the steak—medium-rare, please. Yeah, I don’t care if they say that red meat is bad for you. As a matter of fact, make the steak blood rare. A nice thick steak once in a while never hurt anybody. Of course, I’ll want a baked potato with my steak. I’d also like a beer, please.
Customer 3
I’d like a turkey sandwich on whole wheat, please. If you don’t mind, I’d like the bread lightly toasted. I don’t want any mayonnaise; please give me mustard—just a little mustard—instead. Hot mustard if you have it. Mustard is so much better for you than mayonnaise. It tastes just as good and has a fraction of the calories. I’ll have a glass of iced tea with two sugars as well, please.

Lesson 3(1)
PART TWO MAIN DIALOGUE Exercise 1
Gary: Well, here we are in L.A. Where shall we go first? Let’s look at the map. Don: We’ve never been to the Grand Canyon in Arizona… Gary: Okay. Let’s go there.
Don: I hear it’s the most beautiful place on earth. It’s over 300 miles long, and the Colorado River goes right through it.
Gary: I wonder if we can go down into the canyon.
Don: Sure. They have all sorts of trips and tours. We can even take a small plane ride into the canyon.
Gary: That sounds great.
Don: All right then, the first stop is the Grand Canyon. Let’s be sure to call and make reservations at the campground. I’m sure the Arizona Tourist Service will help us. How long should we stay? Gary: We want to do some hiking in the canyon and boating on the Colorado River. How does three days sound?
Don: That sounds right. Where do we go from there?
Gary: How about heading north? It starts to boil in the southwest in the summer.
Don: Then let’s head up to Wyoming and camp a few days in the Yellowstone National Park. Gary: Great. We can crash for one night in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the way. Don: Salt Lake City, Utah?
Gary: Yeah, I heard it’s an interesting city. And it’s on the way to Yellowstone.
Don: Okay. So, we’ll go north through Salt Lake City up to Yellowstone. I’ve always dreamed of camping under the stars in Wyoming. And, of course, seeing Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Gary: Old Faithful? Is that the place where hot water shoots into the air every hour or so? Don: Uh-huh, Old Faithful geysers. It’s supposed to be really exciting to watch. Gary: What else is there to do?
Don: We can go horseback riding, hiking, and fishing on lake Yellowstone. Also, if we go all the way out to some of the remote parts of the park, we can look for bears and other wild animals. Gary: Ooh, that sounds a little scary.
Don: Yeah, but exciting. Let’s plan to stay three days. Hey, it’s not that far east from Yellowstone to Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.
Gary: Is that the place where that artist carved the whole side of the mountain and made it into the shape of the heads of four presidents? Don: Yeah.
