Exercise
What can you do to make exercise like jogging more enjoyable
Write a page for a class wellness book.
1. Work in groups. Discuss the questions below.
Food
How can you make your meals healthier
Exercise: If I am by myself, I can listen to my favourite music on headphones while I exercise. I can also exercise with a friend to make it more enjoyable.
Stress: I won’t work for too long at a time. If I work for around 45 minutes then take a short 10-minute break, my work will be better and I will feel more relaxed.
Self-confidence: To be more confident, I should know what I am good at, and accept what I am not good at. I can’t be good at everything! If I want to improve at something, I won’t let small failures put me off. I will keep trying and will reach my goal, becoming more confident at every step. Keeping fit also helps!
Food: Always try and have vegetables with my meals and balance the different types of food groups. Don’t eat too much of one thing. Also, don’t eat very big portions.

What you do now/will do in the future: I eat/will eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and have/will only have fast food as a treat occasionally. I have joined/will join some new clubs to meet new people and make new friends.

Writing outline
Topic: jogging, stress, self-confidence, food, etc
Content:
What did you use to do (in the past) What do you do now
What do you do now / What will do in the future
Results:
Language showing similarities and differences:
I am a high school student. I want to feel better about myself and be healthier because sometimes I get down, have no energy and worry about things too much. I decided to change my diet to make it healthier. For example, I stopped eating fast food so often, and introduced fruit and vegetables into my diet every day. I also do my exercises regularly to keep fit. Now, because I became healthier, I became much happier and better about myself too. This has made me more confident to make new friends and try new things.
