What is there...?

Health for All

My students of first of ESO are working now on food and are learning how to say "there is something" or the contrary and to ask. We also get the chance to review what they eat and if they eat in a healthy way or not. There is a lot of information about how to eat healthily, you can find some at the National Health System of the UK's website.

I have made a brief  sketch to help you:

	Countable singular(1)	Countable plural (+1)	Uncountable
Affirmative	There is a/an...	There are some...	There is some...
Negative	There isn't a/an...	There aren't any...	There isn't any...
Interrogative	Is there a/an...?	Are there any...?	Is there any...?

I would like you to tell me what is on the table and what there isn't on the table that you would like to see. You can look for the vocabulary on this complete Visual Dictionary site.

You can do some more exercises on countable and uncountable  nouns at the study zone of the University of Victoria or at this page of English Grammar Exercises.

Eating disorders

(taken by Ana Gª)

We have started a unit related with eating disorders; in this unit, we are going to be dealing with anorexia and bulimia from a positive point of view, that is, we are going to keep in mind not only waht we should do to avoid these problems, but also to help people who may be suffering them.

These illnesses are related to self-image and self-esteem; they are relatively new illnesses and, even though they were only women patients at the beginning, more and more men are becoming ill of anorexia and bulimia.

Here is some information in English and in Spanish about how to have a healthy relationship with food and with our body. If you want to live well, you have to take care of your body, it's the only one we've got!!!

I hope this can help someone who needs it. If you want to, you can send a comment.
