p. 72 - Imaginary eating
part 1 - Tell your partner whether you agree or disagree with the statements.
“You have to play to win.” - If you don’t take the chance (maybe because you don’t think you’re lucky), then you definitely won’t have the good opportunity.
---
Vowel pronunciations:
It can look like luck.
Luke looked lucky.
pool / pull (These all need to have different vowels between the pair.)
fool / full
shoed / should (The verb “shoe” is what you can do to a horse when you put horseshoes on it.)
cooed / could (The verb “coo” is the sound doves make.)
---
part 2 - read the paragraph about imaginary eating. What exactly is the technique?
---
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 and decide if these statements are true or false.
part 4 - listen again and complete each sentence (1-6) with the second half you hear (a-f)
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.
---
(+) open minded = open to believing or accepting new things
(-) gullible = willing to believe new things too easily, without any evidence

(-) close-minded = not open to believing or accepting new things
(+) skeptical = not willing to believe new things without evidence
---
First Conditional = future real conditional
(It’s about things that can really happen in the future.)

if + [present], [future] (any of the ways to talk about the future)
If it’s raining tomorrow morning, I’m staying in bed.
(present continuous = present), (pres. cont. = future)

I’m staying in bed if it’s raining tomorrow morning. (no comma if “if” is in the middle)
---
unless = if + not
You will fail the test if you don’t study. = You will fail the test unless you study.
= You will probably fail the test, but studying is one way to change that.
---
Some time expressions like “when”, “until”, “as soon as”, and “before” have similar meanings.

If you win the lottery, you will quit your job. (You might win, but it’s just a possibility.)
When you win the lottery, you will quit your job. (I think you’ll definitely win the lottery.)
As soon as you win the lottery, you will quit your job. (It will happen immediately.)

Unless I win the lottery, I will stay at this job. (I don’t know if I’ll win the lottery, but it’s possible.)
Until I win the lottery, I will stay at this job. (I expect to win the lottery, and then I will quit.))
Before I win the lottery, I will stay at this job. (I expect to win the lottery, but that’s not as closely connected to staying at this job.)

I won’t go home before 5pm. (I won’t go home at 4 or 3, I might go home at 5 or 6 or 7.)
I won’t go home until 5pm. (I will go home at exactly 5 and not before.)
---
part 7 - With a partner, complete the sentences with the simple present or future tenses of the verbs.
1 believe, will be
2 ‘ll need, want
3 don’t buy, won’t be able
4 find, will you let (this is a question)
5 go, ‘ll check
6 ‘ll give up, do
7 don’t try, ‘ll never know
8 will you do, doesn’t work

In which sentences could we use “unless”?
3 Unless you buy snacks, you won’t be able to eat them. (This wording suggests you want snacks, and buying some is the solution to the problem of not being able to eat them.)
  (“You won’t be able to eat them” is a problem, and “you buy snacks” is a solution.)
7 Unless I try, I’ll never know.

I’ll give up junk food if you do.
If you give up junk food, I will. (We don’t need to repeat the verb a second time.)

* If you do, I’ll give up junk food. (This sounds like, “If you do [something from the last sentence], I’ll give up junk food.”)
* I will if you give up junk food. (This sounds like, “I will [something from before] if you give up junk food.”)

p. 73 part 8 - cross out the options that do NOT make sense in the sentences (sometimes both make sense)
1 as soon as
2 (both are fine)
3 (both are fine)
4 before
5 when
6 Unless
7 (both are fine)
8 (both are fine)
---
We sometimes say “if and when” and “unless and until” for things that will probably (but not definitely) happen:
I’ll be happy to help if and when you’re ready to try.
You won’t change unless and until you make an effort.
---
parts 9 and 10: Match each verb with one of the nouns, and make first conditional sentences.
If you avoid junk food, you will lose weight.
If you change bad habits, you might save money and be healthier.
If you cut down on computer and TV time, you’ll have more time to sleep and study.
If you cut out fatty food, you will be healthier.
If you give up smoking, you will taste and smell food better, you will be healthier, and you will save money, but you will also probably eat more and gain some weight.
If you learn relaxation techniques, you will have less stress and be happier.
If you reduce stress, you will be happier.
If you take up an outdoor activity, you might make new friends.
---
You can “cut out” something only if it was already “in” something.
You can cut out fatty foods because first there were fatty foods in your diet.

You can have your appendix cut out (because it starts in your body).
You can have your head cut off (because it starts out on your neck).
---
With most phrasal verbs, in/out, on/off, and up/down often make opposite pairs.
turn up / turn down, turn on / turn off
put on / take off, put in / take out, put up / take down

Not always: “cut up” means to cut completely into small pieces, NOT the opposite of “cut down”.
	“Burn up” means to burn completely, “burn down” means to burn until it’s not up any more.
	-> The house burned up. = The house burned down.
