2. Look at the index. Underline the words that are not relevant to any of the three topics. Ask students what an index is and what we use it for. (We can usually find it at the back of a book with all the keywords of topics contained in the book and page numbers of where to find them in the book.) Then ask them to read the index individually and identify topics that are not important or related to any of the three topics given. 3. Read the texts. Which topic is each text about? Match the pictures and text. 110 Ask students to read the texts and circle the key words. (Text 1: doing sports, exercise, free time, nature, feel good, park, healthy, time inside watching television, playing computer, play musical instrument, making art, spend free time, family, friends, pets; Text 2: doing exercise, eating well, health, recommend fruit, vegetables, eat sugar, oil, fat, physical activity, walking, running, playing, sport) Then ask them which of the topics from Activity 1 each text talks about. Differentiated Instruction For this activity you can use the Jigsaw strategy to allow struggling students to read only one of the texts and to work in pairs. 4. Tell each other if you agree with the information in each text. Put students into groups. Ask them to discuss the information in the texts and ask them to say if they think it is true in their experience. Monitor and ask students to give reasons for their opinions.

Text 1: Picture Many children enjoy doing sports or exercise in their free time. Doctors say that being outside in nature is important for people to feel good, so going to the park is a healthy activity to do in your free time. A lot of children also spend a lot of time inside watching television or playing on a computer. Some other popular hobbies include playing a musical instrument or making art. Most children spend some of their free time with friends, family, and pets.
Text 2: Picture Doing exercise and eating well is very important for your health. Doctors recommend eating a lot of healthy fruit and vegetables every day. You should try not to eat a lot of sugar, oil, or fat. It is also important to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. This can be walking, running, playing a sport, or anything active .
