4) A fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly.

2. Learn about the language features of the passage.
1) Talk about the use of linking words that introduce another way of saying. And then find out the sentences containing the linking words that show contrasting ideas.
put more simply (简而言之)/ in other words (换句话说)/ what this means is that (这意味着)
Put more simply, while people continue to argue over whether or not fatty food is dangerous, we already know that sugar is a killer.
In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts, and cut out sweet drinks altogether.
What this means is that people who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry.
2) Find out the sentences containing the linking words that show contrasting ideas, and underline the linking words.
however, rather than, rather(反尔), on the contrary, ….
However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar.
Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different categories of fresh foods, especially fruit and vegetables, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods.
It is also better to eat a modest amount of food each time, rather than to eat a lot in one meal, and then a little in the next.
Rather, healthy eating starts with having a healthy attitude towards food.
However, if food has become the centre of your life, you might be on the road to bad health.

Step 3 Writing guidance
Activity 3 Writing guidance—Learning to write about a healthy diet
1. Talk about the writing requirements. Use what you have learnt to write an essay about your own diet like this: Overall, I think I have healthy/unhealthy eating habits. As for the things that I am doing right, ... Still, I should improve my eating habits by ....
2. Think and talk to generate ideas. Write down everything you ate and drank over the last three days. And then compare what you have had over the last three days with the advice written in the article, and any facts about diet and nutrition that you know to be true. Make two lists: A list of your good eating habits +details and a list of your bad eating habits +details.
3. Talk about how to use the structure, some useful expressions and language features (the linking words) you’ve learned from the passage and how to use your notes to write your essay.
4. Read the sample writing for reference.
Sample writing:
Overall, I think I have healthy eating habits. As for the things that I am doing right, I am eating a variety of healthy foods and trying to eat fresh food as much as possible.
After noting down what I have eaten over the last three days, I can see lots of healthy and nutritious things on the list, such as fish, eggs, fruit, and salad. Put simply, most of my diet contains food that is good for my body. The fruit and vegetables that I eat are full of vitamins and minerals. And they contain much more nutrition than processed foods. Fresh food is also lower in sugar, salt, and fat.
However, I do have some bad eating habits. There are some foods that I should not eat too much of. For example, rice and bread are healthy, but eating too much can create too much unused energy and cause you to gain weight and feel tired. I also really like eating pre-made steamed buns and tomato soup from the store, but I now know they contain far too much sugar, salt, and fat. Also, some types of meat contain a lot of fat, so I should be careful with how much I consume. The same goes for the pancakes I buy on the street. They are delicious, but they are by no means healthy, and I should be careful with how often I consume them. In addition to the above, I also sometimes find myself too busy and forget to eat. I also have a hard time refusing sweets from others, even though I know they are bad for me.
I should improve my bad eating habits by always taking the time to eat, even if I’m busy. I should have set times every day when I stop working and just eat.
