Unit 2: Keeping Fit
Summary: I’m Healthy, I’m Happy
Key points
- Healthy food helps us grow: fruits, vegetables, fish, milk and water.
- Some food is only for sometimes: sweets, chips, doughnuts, fizzy drinks.
- We give advice with should and shouldn’t.
- After should / shouldn’t, the verb has no to and no -s.
- f and ph make the same sound /f/: fish, phone.
Rules to remember
Giving advice
should + verb: You should eat fruits. You should drink lots of water.
Saying it is not a good idea
shouldn’t (= should not) + verb: You shouldn’t eat sweets every day.
Questions
