---
Close your eyes and imagine eating something.
Tell your partner what you imagined eating and how it tasted.
Did imagining eating this food make you want it more or less?
---
Read “Imaginary Eating”
---
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/12/101209-chocolate-obesity-science-mind-diet-weight-loss-eat-food/ - National Geographic article about this research
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/330/6010/1530.full.pdf - Science magazine article about the research (if you register for free you can see the article)
---
part 3 - Listen to the conversation about the article. Is each statement true or false?
“I’m going to buy some chocolate just in case.”
What words does Jack use to describe the idea?
- “nonsense” and “garbage”
---
part 4 - Listen again and choose the correct ending for each sentence.
1 I’ll believe it when I see it.
2 If you don’t train your mind, you won’t be able to lose weight.
3 I won’t find out unless I try.
4 When I want to eat a snack, I’ll try just imagining it.
5 I’ll never have to buy chocolate again if this technique works.
6 As soon as it starts working, I’ll let you know.
---
What do you notice about commas in these sentences?
- Use a comma when the dependent clause is first, not when it’s second.
What about tenses?
- Use present in the dependent clause and future in the independent clause.
---
Grammar: first conditional = future real conditional
if + [present], [future].
	(Most books say “simple present” and only use “will”, but any present or future forms can work.)
	“If it’s raining when class finishes, I’m going straight home.”
---
p. 73 part 7 - complete the sentences with the correct verb forms
1 believe, will be
2 will need, want
3 don’t buy, won’t be able
4 find, will you let
5 go, will check
6 will give up, do
7 don’t try, will never know
8 will you do, doesn’t work
---
if you give it up = if you stop doing that specific thing
if you give up = if you just stop caring or trying
---
Vocabulary: healthy lifestyle
part 9 - Make first conditional sentences about health using these verbs and nouns.
ex: “If you give up junk food, you will become healthier.”
- Remember, all future forms are okay, including uncertain sentences with “may” or “might”.
---
If you avoid fatty food, you’ll be more healthy.
If you change your bad habits, you will be a good person.
If you cut down on smoking, you might become a little healthier, but really you should quit.
If you cut out junk food, you’ll feel better.
---
fatty food = food that has (a lot of) fat (n) in it
fattening food = food that can make you fat (adj)
---
BREAK
---
cut out = remove from “in” something
cut off = remove from “on” something
cut up = cut completely into small pieces

take up = begin studying or practicing (especially as a hobby)
---
- One of you is a teenager who recently got a driver’s license. You want to borrow a car from your sibling or parents (the other people in your group). Use first conditional statements to negotiate to try to borrow the car.
---
Remember:
	The teenager will borrow the car.
	The parent will lend the car to the teenager.
borrow = take temporarily
lend = give temporarily
---
- The person who borrowed the car is now a teacher. The other two are students who the teacher caught cheating on a test. The students have to convince the teacher not to tell their parents.
---
Grammar: the form of first conditional can be used for other conjunctions besides “if”
---
I’ll make dinner if you get hungry. = You may or may not get hungry. If you do, I’ll make dinner.
I’ll make dinner when you get hungry. = I’m sure you will get hungry. At that time, I’ll make dinner.
	I’ll travel if I win the lottery. / I’ll travel when I win the lottery.

I’ll call you when I get home. = I’ll take my shoes off and put down my bag first, maybe use the restroom.
	(It will be soon after I get home, but not immediately.)
I’ll call you as soon as I get home. = My first action, immediately, will be to call you.
(I’ll call you after I get home. = I’ll call you sometime later, but it’s not a priority.)

You will fail the test unless you study. = You will fail the test if you don’t study.
	(We ofen use “unless” to say how you can change the probable result.)

You’ll keep failing unless you start to study. = If you start to study, you’ll stop failing.
You’ll keep failing until you start to study. = When you start to study, you’ll stop failing.

My dad was a teacher before I was born. = He started before I was born. Maybe he also finished before I was born or maybe he’s still teaching.
My dad was a teacher until I was born. = He stopped teaching when I was born.
I won’t wake up before 7am. = I might wake up at 7 or at 7:30, but definitely not earlier than 7.
I won’t wake up until 7am. = I will wake up at 7.
---
General rule: we do not use future forms in time clauses or conditional clauses
---
part 8 - Which options make sense in each sentence? (Sometimes both are correct.)
1 unless
2 (both are okay)
3 (both are okay - you can weigh yourself any time you want)
4 until
5 unless
6 If
7 (both are okay - it depends on my confidence that you’ll be ready)
8 (both are okay)
---
- There are many pairs of words where a -t or -th makes a verb into a noun:

give / gift
heal / health
steal / stealth
bear / birth
- There are other pairs where the form without the -t or -th is an adjective:
adjective / noun
high / height
long / length
