Healthy Eating
Healthy Eating
In this issue, Filipe learns how healthy eating can improve his performance on the pitch and bring his family closer together.
In this activity, you have to match the phrases from the story with the descriptions.
Match the words to their definitions.
Language - Countable or uncountable
Filipe eats lots of burgers but doesn't eat much fresh fruit. Some types of food are countable nouns and others are uncountable. Burgers are countable but fruit is an uncountable noun. When we use countable nouns, we usually say 'a lot of' or 'lots of' in the positive form and 'not many' in a negative sentence. When we use uncountable nouns, we also use 'a lot of' in positive sentences but in negative sentences we usually use 'much', e.g. Filipe doesn't eat much fruit.
Activity 2: In this activity, decide if the sentence uses a countable or uncountable noun, tehn decide if you should use, 'lots of', 'much' or 'many' in each sentence.
Complete the gaps with the correct word.
Activity 3: In this activity, try remember what you have just read. Can you put the events of the story in the correct order?
Can you put the story in the right order?

Filipe prefers to eat fast food at the begginning of the story. It was tasty and simple to him to go and buy a burger and his mum was very tired to cook for him after the job. Thanks to his coach and his friend he learnt how to cook healthily. He could keep the energy for the matches and supported his mum helping her with the cooking. The good food always unite the family together. Nice comics)))

He wasn´t eating the right kinds of food! He was eating just junk food. His mother supported him to buy this kind of food and he didn´t know what foos is actually good for him.
At the end of the story he made a very good decission to change his diet.
It is very important to eat healthy food especially if you have kids in your family bacause parents are the best and biggest examples and the most of time kids follow them.
Nowadays in developed countries it is quite easy to buy fresh vegetable and other kinds of healthy food. And if you cannot cook you can easily find some recipes on the Internet!

Food is one of the most important thing in everyone's life. It's simple: if you want to live you must to eat. But, if you look to this from the other direction, you can see that's isn't so simple. Not all kinds of food is good for us and some kind of food could cause problems in our lifes. We can see at the beginning of the story that Felipe wasn't eat right kind of food. He eat a lot of unhealthy fast food and that cause healthy problem to him (on the training he feel dizzy and after that he was out cold). Great stuff in this story is that Felipe has coach Orlando who has big influence on Felipe. Also Felipe's teammate Bruno has had big impact on Felipe to change his nutrition. Felipe start to cook and to eat vegetables and fruit and so soon his performance in playing football was better as like as his sleeping. Also one social aspect is important here: this story show us how food can to save families together(Felipe cook for his mother and in future i suppose that he will spent a lot of his time with mother). One great and usefull comic.

I think that one sentence within grammar section is wrong: '' Burgers are countable but fruit is a countable noun.'' I think that fruit is uncountable noun.
